Hasegawa RF-4E 1/48 Phantom II: Final Year 2020

July 24, 2024 · in Aviation · · 18 · 213

The commemoration of the long service of the Phabolous adds another colorful dimension to the 'Sea Camouflage' attractive scheme of Japan's RF-4E.
I enhanced the basic mold of the ejection seats and used DXM decals for the specialized Final Year scheme.

  1. That is one beautiful bird !

  2. This is an impressive Phantom, Rafi @blackmopane
    The scheme is very attractive and like all those Japanese Phantoms, covered with stencils.

  3. Really nice work. I love the paint scheme.

  4. Gorgeous, beautiful finish on that Phantom - Excellent work dude!

  5. Man, that is a great scheme and a great build!

  6. Excellent job, Rafi!
    Painting and weathering are superb!

  7. Sharp JSDF recce scheme and build!

  8. This is such a great looking scheme...even with so many Phantoms being shared, this one stands out.

  9. I love the JASDF Phantoms - so many cool schemes and states of weathering to choose from. My only JASDF build so far is in this Ocean Blue scheme, and I think it is one of the prettiest Phantom schemes (if one can use such an adjective for the "Rhino!"). Beautiful paint and weathering work on this, as usual.
