F-4E TFB.6 SHARKS
Iranian phantoms which participated in parad with visible shark mouth. Photo is taken by me 🙂
Level of details looks very nice
Convert AIM-9M to AIM-9J using photoetch parts
Well. First result of using PE fins to creat AIM-9J missile. Not bad for first one. But second try will be more accurate
AIM-P/J vs other versions
Sidewinder family
As I though the position of the fins in second one is much more accurate. But needs some fine sanding to remove remaining CA glue
Cut the wings to creat flaps
Priming the missile
Scratch built Tiseo camera
Panel line wash with tamyia accent color

Patrick HagelsteinI'm in too! The Revell F-4F is very nice! The only downfall is the shape of the canopy...

Saeed EzadiEkki, Patrick, thanks for your interest and happy for accomany me in the project.
Regard canopy I think so that there is a problem, but overall not so noticable for example in compare to Trumpter 1/72 Su-24 Nose issue.

Łukasz GlińskiNice project. I wasn't aware of such good details on Revell's kit, they even molded the dials 😠

Saeed EzadiLukasz, for several years Revell kits distributed in Iran in very reasonable price, this kit is very popular among Iranian Modellers. But easy availablity of the kit, makes its advantages less visible. The good News is the fitting of the kit is near perfect. Overall , enjoyable model yo build. If you like phantoms then try it😉

Patrick HagelsteinI totally agree Saeed! That Revell Phantom is beautiful and very well engineered! If you leave the canopy open, the shallow form isn't that noticeable. I used the Academy closed canopy on a Phantom I wanted to model closed up.

Łukasz GlińskiThanks guys, good to know. I have one in my stash (the black&red one) and I think these are the very same sprues.

Holger KranichHa what a coincedence! Iam planning the same kit with the same pe! Did you read my mind, Saeed? 👍

Holger KranichI am not sure if i make the one depicting the boxart or something totally different.

Saeed EzadiThank you mate's. Currently working on adding stencils. The final result will be revealed finally in 2 days 🙂

Saeed EzadiHello mates 🙂 here is the result untill now! Phantom will be loaded by some Mk81 bombs in near future . How ever if I find enough time it will be part of little diorama.

Saeed EzadiPhantom is a photogenic plane Hans! Its second phantom I had build and at least two more Iranian will be built. D version and RF one!

Patrick HagelsteinIt really turned out great! 👍 Nice complementing colors and subtle panel lining. One thing though: shouldn't the color demarcation line on the fuel tanks be a little lower?

Saeed EzadiNeuling, Cuajete , Patrick thank you mate's🙂
Regard fuel tanks I agree with you Patrick

Saeed EzadiThe phantom is almost complete after loading with MK bombs (the bombs are from hobby boss 1/72 A-7 kit as there is only missiles in the revell box).
Final update! (may be😉😢

Saeed EzadiThank you spanjaard.Considering even the best results can be done better and technically there is no flawless work but to be honest its what I personally expected at the start and happy about it.

Saeed EzadiAlong with old luftwafe, Vitnam USAF and Hellenic phantoms (IMO), liitle asia camo is attractive for phantom's Bernd.

Michael KohlBeautiful Phantom in a special livery. Maybe to use thinner paint layers in future projects so that the preshading shines a bit more through.
25 November 2022, 09:55
Saeed EzadiMicheal, you know at start I preshade the kit, but I am not fan of exaggetad weathering. So there is diffrence between what I see with my naked eye and what my camera captures. Its not related this one but all of my built, in my exprience to showing you and other mates I must take photo with DSLR, but usualy I start photo with mobile that not able to shows entire detail.
However I agree with you about thinner paint.
