Thanks for looking and sorry again for my english Your English is very good! Your model looks very nice too. You may want to repaint the inboard main wheel hubs, on real USAF F-4s they were always unpainted and very rusty. Here's a photo I took: The outboard wheel is painted but usually dirty.

agelos2005 Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Zigi do you do the riveting after a coat of primer? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zigi Posted July 4, 2011 Author Share Posted July 4, 2011 Hi mate! no, I do the rivet before using Surfacer. here is my procedure - pencil draw rivets on the surface - riveting freehand - sanding surface(sandpaper 800/1000/2000) and then I use toothbrush, sanding under water - to get dirt out of rivets - then up comes the Surfacer :) I use 0,75mm Rosie the Riveter - It is recommended for 1/48 and 1/32 scale. cheers Zigi Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zigi Posted July 8, 2011 Author Share Posted July 8, 2011 Hi gents, I continue in building my Phantom, here is small update : - repainted wheels - finished riveting on vertical stabilizer and the rest of the fuselage here is a few photos thanks for watching cheers Zigi Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They need to be removed for an F-4E. Sorry I didn't notice them earlier, hope that doesn't cause you problems.

Some people don't care or bother to change it, but just in case you are interested I wanted to tell you that Hasegawa got some panel lines wrong. In particular for your non-slatted aircraft there are panels on both sides of the model that should only be on one side or the other. For instance, the "Tennessee panel" (shaped like the US state Tennessee) on the vertical fin just under the fincap should only be on the left side. Hasegawa has it on both sides. There are others that are likewise incorrect. Here are admittedly poor drawings from T.O. 1F-4E-2-36 that show all of the access panels on the F-4E. Using these drawings you should be able to tell which panels on the model are incorrect: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
