Small update on the F-4G as I worked on the J-79 cans. They were painted with various shades of Metalizer as a base coat and then given a Burnt Umber oil wash around the petals. I discovered a trick years ago from another modeler regarding realistic post shading on burner cans. The tip was to actually post shade with a non-metallic color such as light grey so I post shaded these with Mission Models Light Gull Gray and was happy with the result. Then added some chips on the petals with Vallejo Aluminum since F-4 cans tend to chip and weather very heavily. Regards, Ian   |

Beautiful work Ian...... Do you use the microns after the top coat to distinguish the panel lines  |
|
|

Post by Ian H. on Apr 21, 2020 18:55:35 GMT
Thanks, Boots! Yes, I used Micron .01s (black) on these panel lines. I won't be shading the panel lines with Tamiya Smoke as these jets didn't get as dirty as low-viz USN jets. Mainly just some faded paint.
Regards,
Ian

Small update on the ordnance as I got the stripes masked off and the AGM-88s and AIM-7s painted. I also got the underwing pylons painted as well. Just a few more things to touch up on the F-4 and it will be ready for some gloss coat and decals. Regards, Ian  |
