Here are some pics of a 1/48 Hasegawa RF-4C Phantom II that I'm building for a customer. It is OOB, with the addition of True Details resin seats.

I painted the camo today, and it was a BLAST ! As you probably know, painting camo is one of my favorite parts of building aircraft. This one was a lot of fun, since there are three topside colors, and smooth demarcation lines.

The colors are Gunze acrylics, except the lighter green, which is Model Master enamel. I sprayed it freehand with my trusty old Badger 150 airbrush (which I love, and will never replace).





The metallic areas of the tail will be painted with Alcad once the airframe is glossed, decalled, washed, and dullcoted.

Hi Bill.
Looks great.Very nice clean finish.
Looking forward to seeing the finished pics.
Is this the start of a jet building frenzy?
