  1. Great pics, Adam!

  2. That exhaust work looks amazing, Adam. And that goes for the cockpit and overall paint and weathering work as well, outstanding effects! I plan on starting my Meng F-4E shortly, but I can't wait to see your final build!

    Now that looks like a Marine Phantom! Exquisite work, I love the weathered look you've achieved.

  4. A Phabulous Phantom!. You nailed the hot section and weathering, especially the engine access doors.

  5. Beautiful! Well done, Adam

    • Echoing all the comments above. Showroom work on this Phantom. I always wonder if they really have that many labels on them or if they add to the decal sheet just to annoying modelers? One sure doesn’t see that much stenciling in photos.

  6. Hi looks great! is this the 1/48 Tamiya kit?

  7. @adamlanguh - Fantastic work Adam! Incredible level of realism in your weathering. The detail in the cockpit is amazing and all the decals make me wonder if anyone actually reads all of them on the real thing.

  8. An absolute contest winner, Adam @adamlanguh
    The weathering looks amazing a do the decals. How much time did you spent on that huge amount of stencils?

  9. Well done, Adam (@adamlanguh). Nothing looks better than a Phantom, loaded with stencil markings, and with great paint and weathering. Looks awesome.

  10. Terrific work, Adam.

  11. Looks like a masterpiece to me. Well done! @adamlanguh
    What techniques did you use when creating the marble effect as shown in the last pic?
    Thanks.

  12. That is a beauty! I am a HUGE Phantom fan, so am really drawn to this one. Paint and weathering work are fantastic.

  13. Did an F-4 from this Era also and it seems like I decaled stencils for a month.
