Well that is a beauty!! You got to love a Phantom and that's a special one.

Great job!

Simon Nagorsnik
I don't know if my eyes deceive me, but can it be that your works have a certain artistic style?!
Do you use any special filter for your pics?
Howerver, your work is more than impressive!

Micky
Excellent work, very nice!

Tobias Hennig
Hi Simon. My Pics are sometimes very bad. I have no idea from photography. The Mig-25PD have in reality not so strong contrasts. My camera is very old. I have tried to make better and more realistic pictures, but without success. The pics are only a little bit lightened and contrasted. My finished models looks better in reality.
My "Painting Style" is a little bit special. I had nobody for asking or helping me to learn modelling. Than I have tested many acrylic-paint and painting style, read many books and magazines and have tried to create my own style. I paint only with acrylic-paints (from the first step to finish) completely without enamels. I make acrylic panel line washings on acrylic base colors (normaly not possible due to the thinner destroys the base color). I have found out with a long testing a method to do this without destroying the painting. I have never read or seen that other model maker do this. (sorry for my bad english)

How do you do washes with acrylic paint over acrylic paint?

Simon Nagorsnik
I've also tried out a lot over the years and studied literature.
I think we have a similar career in this case😉
2021 was the first year in which I achieved results that I also liked myself.

Your pictures caught my eye because of the style and I find them very convincing👍

Jos Jansen
Nice Phantom Tobias...you've taught yourself good model-building skills mate 👍. Your pics look like pictures from a comic book, this reminds me of a Buck Danny comic...very special...😄!

Paul Moore
That is stunning! I was sold on the Tamiya kit. But can it get better than this? I was an A-6E pilot and THAT looks like a Navy jet! You've really captured the nuances of a USN jet on the boat.

This looks unique, somehow. Very different, but I can not put my fingers on it.
Awesome work, Tobias. 👍

Arif Saeed
Outstanding Tobias 👏👏

Ray
Hi Tobias,
Amazing work. Did you use Furball decals?

Paul Moore
Question Tobias - Do you have any comment on the Academy F-4B vice the Tamiya F-4B? I'm not sure how to improve on that F-4 of yours.

Rui

Acrylic washes on acrylic, are very interesting and a great end result.
