McDonnell Douglas F-4E

Finished today, the mighty F-4E Phantom. The first Hasegawa  kit I've build for years and a real pleasure to build.
The kit is build OOB, representing the F-4E in the colors of the 32nd TFS based at Soesterberg.
The decals came from the box and I used Dutch Decals DD48049 'Soesterberg Eagles'.
The covers on the sidewinders are drilled out sprue and CMK remove before flight tags.


The painting was done with Vallejo Flat Earth (70.983), Russian Green (71.017), Dark Green (71.016) and Light Gray (71.050). The plating around the exhaust got a tint of Blue to get a burned look and sprayed with some Smoke.

On the pictures I'm not pleased with the CR decals, looks like a light gray underground. And I need a bigger photo for the back ground. The F-4 is massive.
