Alan Hooker Posted August 29, 2011 Posted August 29, 2011 Right. High time I had a go at a Hasegawa Spook. So, next up is this, 1/48th F-4E. The lizards scheme is tempting, but I've decided on the grey 141st TFS 108thTFW New Jersey ANG birdie.
Alan Hooker Posted August 30, 2011 Author Posted August 30, 2011 (edited) OK. Cockpit pretty much done. Now, scratching detail is NOT one of my strengths, but I did promise Bex a while back that I'd have a go at belts. And so, with the foil lids kindly provided by her, here are my crude results..........................................they can only get better4 with practice Edited August 31, 2011 by Alan Hooker
kspriss Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 i DO like your 'pit work Alan...how do you get it looking so nice and tidy? steve
silverkite211 Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 Ignore Hasegawa's instruction to have the '30 Years of Phabulous Phantoms' legend on both sides of the fuselage, it was only on the left side.
Alan Hooker Posted August 31, 2011 Author Posted August 31, 2011 i DO like your 'pit work Alan...how do you get it looking so nice and tidy?steve Cheers Steve, your too kind. I've seen much much better on here!! And those belts are very much first efforts, but at Bexy cant have a go for not trying now!!

periklis_sale Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 Alan nice start but the seat belts start from the top of the head rest all the way down the back! keep it up mate! :clap2: :clap2:
silverkite211 Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 Cheers for that, matey, but I'm not doing that option anyway! Ooops, you did mention that in your first post, didn't you? Serves me right for posting while half awake. Carry on!
Alan Hooker Posted August 31, 2011 Author Posted August 31, 2011 Alan nice startbut the seat belts start from the top of the head rest all the way down the back! keep it up mate! :clap2: :clap2: Quite right, of course!! Revised and pics updated!
Alan Hooker Posted September 4, 2011 Author Posted September 4, 2011 Main construction completed. The difference in quality over the previous Revell and Italeri kits is deffo much higher, overall fit being pretty good. Just a bit of filler needed around the port intake and the forward fusalage/wing junction.
periklis_sale Posted September 4, 2011 Posted September 4, 2011 good progress the inside of the airbrake bay is not red but the same color as the bottom of the fuselage. Red are only the actual air brakes and their actuators!
Jabba Posted September 4, 2011 Posted September 4, 2011 Nicely put together. Can only add that Perkis is right about the inside of the airbrake bays.
Alan Hooker Posted September 4, 2011 Author Posted September 4, 2011 good progressthe inside of the airbrake bay is not red but the same color as the bottom of the fuselage. Red are only the actual air brakes and their actuators! Your right, of course! I will, one day, learn to check my ref's!
Alan Hooker Posted September 7, 2011 Author Posted September 7, 2011 Main colour scheme finished. Metallic area at the tail to be done next.
Alan Hooker Posted September 9, 2011 Author Posted September 9, 2011 Decals all on. Last time I used Hasegawa dec's, they were horrible, thick, and silvered badly. This lot were much thinner, went on like a dream, and reacted well to Microset.
