1/72 Academy F-4J Phantom US Navy

Not much I can say about this one. This box was sitting on a shelf in my garage for a while. It's a "no glue, no paint" model from that I got from a friend (who got it from another friend). No one was really interested in building it 🙂

I decided to use it for practicing painting and weathering techniques. Not the best model to build with several smaller parts not always ideally fitting and low quality in decals. But still, a nice build and I think it turned out quite ok.

  1. Nice work! A great start to weathering - just keep practicing and securing good reference photos. Try all sorts of stuff - weathering pencils, pastel chalk powders, oil paints...

  2. Definitely turned out ok, Kristof @kristofmaes
    Your painting and weathering practice turned out quite well.

  3. Really nice, Kristof! Great result out of a "snap-tite" kit!

  4. Turned out very nice for a "practice" kit.
