f-4j ”jolly rogers” academy 1/48
Beatiful kit i think vallue for money.
Exceptional fitting with very little amount of putty.
Attention needs on the wheel bay because you have to put them before you close the wings an you have to be careful to be straight.
The colours i used are the gunze and finally winsor varnish.
The extra is the eduard cockpit i put but i think the kit does not need it too much.
Off course you will need at least one set of seatbelts because the kit does not have nothing.
Plenty variety of arming the plane and you can make a C or D because all the stuff you need are in the kit.
Thank you i hope you like it.

I am not a modern jet guy but I do love the F-4 and yours looks great. Very nice build and finish and I really love seeing a plane loaded down with ordinance. Nice work.

Thank you very much for your kind words my friend!!!! I am in love with the wwii but the modern jet and especially the phantom is a part of history. Especially in Greece we love them. Thank you again

The F-4 on the markings of either the Jolly Roger’s or VF 111’s Sundowners are always going to look good. This is a good kit and you made her sparkle like a diamond. Well done!!!

Really nice build. Hard not to like a phantom with a skull and crossbones.
DIONYSIOS MOYKRIOTIS said on May 6, 2020
Thank you very much. Especially in Greece we are crazy with phantom Haslam.

Excellent work on beatiful plane!
I have Winsor varnish, but I haven’t used it yet. How long You have to wait fpr it to be completely dry?
DIONYSIOS MOYKRIOTIS said on May 7, 2020
Thank you very much my friend. I wait 1-2 hours before completely dry (60% thinner – 40% varnish) for wash and 40 minutes to lay another hand if i want. I work with leveling thinner.
