F-4C Phantom II 1/48 (Academy) Robin Olds Scat XXVII

Album image #1
Cockpit with scratch built parts and Quick boost ejection seats

Album image #5
Scratch built side walls glued into the fuselage 
 

Album image #6
Scratch built side walls glued into the fuselage 
 

Album image #7
Intakes and exhausts 
 

Album image #8
Exhaust painted. I didn't use aftermarket exhaust as it gets far less attention than cockpit. I tried to create some illusion of more complicated exhaust with paint. 
 

Album image #9
Scratch built engine part 
 

Album image #10
Parts in lower fuselage 
 

Album image #11
I added dial backgrounds and some wires to both cockpits 
 

Album image #12
After those are painted, they quite blend in 
 

Album image #13
When seats are in place, very little can be seen.. Cockpit is now ready. 
 

Album image #14
I really hated this three colored plastic thing, it reminded me of old Matchbox kits. Everything ready for paint 
 

Album image #15
Bottom side, you can see the scratch built parts between landing gear 
 

Album image #16
Now this looks much better, now it looks like Navy plane to my eye 
 

Album image #17
Bottom will stay white as this was not painted with camouflage grey at any point 
 

Album image #18
Top painted (free hand camo) with AK real colors SEA scheme, I didn't like the colors (I would have preferred MrPaint) but these I can chip  
 

Album image #19
No much difference to last one, but bottom was painted with MRPAint insignia white 
 

Album image #20
Some masking to the metal parts.. 
 

Album image #21
Painted markings to the bottom (and tail metal parts painted) 
 

Album image #22
Chipping to the top paint and some fading to the radome 
 

Album image #23
Over painted bottom markings (and better view of tail metal parts) 
 

Album image #24
A lot of markings going over this overpainted insignia.. 
 

Album image #25
Decals goes nicely on, no need for Tamiya Mark fit super strong, Micro SOL does the trick 
 

Album image #26
All the decal are on top 
 

Album image #27
All the decal are on bottom, those overpainted markings blend to the bottom quite much 
 

Album image #28
Bottom side weathered with Flory wash and oils 
 

Album image #29
Topside weathered with Flory wash and oils 
 

Album image #30
Everything ready for final assembly

Nice paintwork. Colors look good, I wouldn't worry that's an issue. Can always change the tone with a wash anyway. 👍

Thanks! Yes that is very true. I think after the weathering I don't see the original colours too much..

A true legend! awesome painting, the chipping is just perfectly made for this particular jet, (not an easy task, theres a thin line between realistic used look and repainting the whole thing...)

Extremly nice and awesome details (overpainted insignia for example). Excelent. I'm curious how the phantom will look like in the end.
Is there a photo that you use as a reference?

Thanks for the comments!

Weathering was interesting, it is always difficult to balance realistic and nice looking. I'm glad you like it!

I used pics on the Internet and excellent fundecals instruction
for reference. And my books of course too.

Thanks for the links.
I think the weathering has become great. The aircrafts were partly very weathered during the war.

Stunning looking F-4! 👍

I keep saying to myself that THIS will be the year that I pull my finger out and build one; but it never eventuates. This build has definitely renewed my desire to finally do it. 😉

Wall to wall stencils, but your scratch building skills and eye for the painting and weathering are awesome. Wow!
