[Tamiya F-4B Phantom]

Hi Peter,

I have a procedural question. Did you lay down a gloss black base under the Alclad metal colors and if so, did you put down the gloss black over the bare plastic or over the MRP primer ?

I am just getting to my primer stage on my F-4B.

Thanks !

Thanks Scott.

Glad to see you are building Tamiya's F4 and making nice progress. I found the intakes a dream to build and attach compared to the ZM and Hasegawa traditional method. Which scheme are you planning on doing? Why not start a build thread so we can see and appreciate your work.

Keep 'em comin

Hi Peter

I am leaning towards a USMC bird .....VMFA-323 Death Rattlers. I'll post some pics once I get my paint laid down and I am happy with it. I have a stack of Hasegawa Phantoms, and a ZM F-4EJ just arrived today so I guess I will feel some pain with those intakes compared to the Tamiya ones which were perfect.

This is an awesome thread to follow Peter !!!!  Very helpful and educational ! I am at the point with my Tamiya F-4B of attaching the intakes, tail, etc. and will be heading for primer soon.  Keep the posts coming !
