Cool stuff I'm currently not sure if I should change to Mission Models Paint. I've heard it is not so easy to handle...

Daniel Phelps

Duncan Cook
Hi Daniel,

did you need any weight for the aircraft to stand straight?
The instructions don't mention anything and I am out of lead.
Can I continue building or do I need weight?

Clifford Keesler
Looking nice Daniel.

Daniel Phelps
No weight need for the F-4 kit. All of the f-4 kits I've built have never needed weight in the nose due to where the landing gear sit.

Daniel Phelps
She's got decals currently adding data, now that's a handful.

Clifford Keesler
Very nice. It would not be an F-4 if it was not covered in stencils. LOL.

Spanjaard
Specially if you add resin for cockpit and wheels....that will certainly keep the nose down😉

Spanjaard
Very nice masking job by the way

Daniel Phelps
The only resin parts are the main wheels.
Thanks Mates
