1/48 Revell F-4J Phantom II

Gallery Article by Jael Taillefer aka "Neo" on Sept 8 2009

 

This is the F-4J Phantom II "Blue Angels" kit from Revell. One of the nicest things about this kit was the history book that came with it, I found tons of reference pictures and great history about the Blue's.  Now the less fun part of the kit was the fit ... On the positive side I have now mastered putty (filler) work on my models !!

The kit was built OBB. And brush painted with Humbrol enamel paint #15 and # 69

I have to say the OBB decals quality is very impressive, but require Micro set for the under wing US Navy since they are in 1 piece and have to go over several major bumps.
