Great looking Phantom ! I too am old enough to remember when F-4's were a common sight and seeing them at airshows was always cool. I like the mottled application of your base coats, it adds subtly to the weathering. Thanks for sharing this and here's to a great 2019 ! Also, sorry for the loss of your two pups. It is never easy to lose a loved one, whether they have two legs or four.

The Air Force and Navy did not even want a new plane but, the pilots liked the plane so much and the plane was so good they got it anyway. Awesome job on this model!

The finished model looks incredible and is one of my favourites from your series. Thank you very much for sharing this build with us.

At 20:30 you got the AIM-9 mixed up with the AIM-7. You did get it right at the start of the video. Regardless great job. It looks really good.

Beautifully done! I would mention though, the lower speed brakes should be in the down position while parked. They are hydrolically actuated and droop whith power off.

Hi Jaycat48, it would have required a little scratch building and modification since it wasn't an option on this kit, but that would have been a nice detail. 🤔

Amazing job as always! I'm currently working in a F104 in 1/72. This is my first plane and only my second model ever using an airbrush. I'm really struggling, the masking is horrible in this tiny scale and I've had a lot of overspray and applied the primer way too thick. Had to sand it down and lost most of the panel lines in the process. It won't look like I envisioned it before starting the build, but hey I won't give up and finish it anyways. All part of the learning process I guess. I might look at a 1/48 plane next time though. Any advice for working on 1/72 planes?

Hi Marcus AAA, thanks! I personally stay away from the 1/72 scale because it's too small for me. I'd only use it if I was doing a large scale aircraft carrier deck and needed a lot of planes. It's worth practicing and learning if you are having fun with it! I would recommend the KZfaq channel by "PLASMO". He generally focuses on 1/72 scale and smaller items--and he's very good. I believe he has the most subscribers of any modeler on the internet that I know of. Good Luck!

The f 4 and f 15 made by same team in st Louis mo. My back yard as a teen. And a friend's dad designed and built both aircraft ! F 15 was far better ! But f 4 was a great platform for the work performed. Sad it's gone. But that's the nature. Nice work

Question...I received a new Iwata Neo (same as you use) this year as a holiday gift. What ratio of paint to thinner are you using?
@MaxAfterburner
@MaxAfterburner 5 жыл бұрын
What a great gift! I use a higher paint ratio than most builders with ~ 80% paint to 20% thinner mix. Most modelers use about 60-70% paint to the appropriate amount of thinner to equal 100%.

This is the second of your videos that I've watched, and found them informative. I have a question though, have you ever seen a model of the Grunman A-6E Intruder? I worked on that bird while in the Navy (VA-176 02/81 - 07/84) and would love to find a model to build.
@MaxAfterburner
@MaxAfterburner 5 жыл бұрын
Hi Larry, there are some available and some still on back order depending on the scale of the A-6E Intruder you want to build. You can check them out at Scalehobbyist and also Hobbylinc. Both of these suppliers are online.

love the phantom as well as it was the dominant jet when i started building models in the 70's, and your vids are very helpful. Re: raised panel lines versus recessed panel lines...is there a guideline on what brands and production years that we can expect recessed panel lines on? In the last 3.5 years I have completed two 1/48 Testors Phantom F4-G's, a 1/72 Testors F-16D, a 1/48 Monogram F-15C Eagle, and two 1/48 Revell Tomcats and was disappointed to find all had raised panel lines inside (older kits found on eBay as my son was seeking jets exclusively with tigershark mouths and then jets from bases in our state). A newer 1/48 F/A -18 Superhornet from Revell was purchased locally and thankfully had recessed panel lines and rivet holes. The finished look is so much nicer. I learned from the internet that Italeri and Testors had either used the same molds or that one company had purchased the other's old molds? What year/scale Italeri would you recommend?
@MaxAfterburner
@MaxAfterburner 2 жыл бұрын
Hi alrammd, some model companies were quicker than others to get away from those dreaded raised panel lines, but I can only guess that overall the recessed panel lines became the norm around 2000-2001(?). Max's Models on KZfaq has made many interesting videos about the history of some model companies that are still around today and of others that have become extinct. You may note from the documentaries that often molds from companies that go out of business are sold to others and are simply re-boxed under another brand name. Scalemates.com also has many history pages about individual kits out there. You may get "clues" about when quality and standards ramped up from those listings.(The F-4J is the only Italeri model I've built thus far, so I'm not too knowledgeable about their line of products.) Hope that helps! 😄

Hi, very good videos. What kit/(kits) would you recommend for a complote beginner in aviation modeling. I want to work with 1/48 scale but yet no idea where to start.
@MaxAfterburner
@MaxAfterburner 5 жыл бұрын
Hi Egor, 1/48 scale is probably the best place to start. 1/32 scale models planes have a lot more pieces, detail and work to get through that you might not want to start as a beginner. 1/72 scale is smaller and can be actually more difficult than 1/48. You'd have to pick an era of aircraft you are primarily interested in of course. Tamiya and Hasegawa kits usually fit pretty well together. Other model company kits may be more difficult and require more skill to "correct" them.

Great job on a really 'basic' kit - it's a reissue of the 1980 Esci one with just a few improvements and (much) better decals - Just one 'note' for future USN builds if I may: The XF-19 that you used this time is far too blue and dark for the 'actual' USN Light Gull Grey - that colour is a much lighter and has a more 'mushroom' tone. It may be worth exploring other paint ranges to find more accurate colours, or if you want to stick with Tamiya acrylics, perhaps look at some mixing ratio's for future projects. No criticism intended, I've just found your channel and am enjoying the builds. Really well lit and filmed, great commentary and some nice informative snippets too. Each one is definitely an improvement on the last. Looking forward to your next builds. Best from NZ.
