LATEST: F-16CJ Block 50 by Daniel Baxter
This is my Tamiya 1:32 F-16CJ block 50.

It was painted with MRP paints for the main colours and Alclad2 for the engine – various tones.

The Aires resin cockpit was used which is really nice but the instructions for installation are dreadful.

Weathering is done with various oil colours and Tamiya Accent Color.

Hope you like it!

LATEST: F35-A Lightning II by Mick Stephen
Meng 1/48 (LS-007) F35-A Lightning II
Weapons: AIM120C MRAAM / GBU-10 Paveway II
Aftermarket: Eduard PE set (49864) (Interior & cockpit)
Eduard PE set (FE865) (Seatbelts)
DN Models – Mask set ((48/827) (RAM Panel mask)
Decals: AFV Club 1/48 RF5-S Tigereye
I had the honour once again to participate as a judge in the 14th Annual National Aeronautical Engineering Competition in Singapore, supported this year by the Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF) to celebrate their 50th year. My contribution to the ‘Judges Table’ was a representation of a RSAF F35A in the guise of a 141 Squadron aircraft. Although signatories to the F35 program, Singapore has not yet ordered this aircraft, hence the reference to 2044 and the 75th Anniversary of the RSAF. Using the new Meng kit as the basis and adding some aftermarket photo-etch and a GBU-10 from the spares box, this was a fun build.
The model was presented to LTC Giam Tan, who as Head of RSAF Recruitment was present to award the winners of the RSAF Best Model in each category. It will now be displayed at the RSAF Recruitment Centre.
F/A-18D Hornet by Mehdi Nader
The attached images are related to the Academy 1:32 kit of F/A-18D which I made recently.

This kit has an amazing quality and accuracy. I have spent approximately 100 hours to made it. I just send them to you to make them on-line. Hope you like them.

With Warm Regards

F-4EJ Kai Phantom II JASDF by Jurgen Jaacks
This is my second bird from last years “blue phase”.

As I already had to mix these curious Japanese blue tones, which are described in the F-2A article elsewhere in the Readers Gallery, I started this Hasegawa 48th scale kit of the F-4EJ Kai in JASDF 8 Sqn service, which was rereleased recently.

Besides the Hasegawa kit I used True Details seats, the Wolfpack flaps and slats and Cobra afterburner cans. Otherwise I added the small stripes on the radar nose peculiar to the “Kai” version. The two anti-ship missiles came from the JASDF Weapons set from Hasegawa, whereas the decals are out of the box. And these decals were the only nightmare on this build, as they insisted on silvering. I rarely have such problems with decals in recent years. My system of having a Klear gloss surface and applying the decals also with Klear normally works easy and perfectly. Not so with these Hasegawa “bastards”. I overcame this after making endless small holes in each decal with a small needle and applying Microsoft Sol on each of them. That took several hours/days, but in the end saved the work invested so far.
I hope you like the result.
Maybe a F-2 two-seater or a T-4 will follow soon.

F-4E Phantom II, Hellenic AF by Jeroen Burger
And another one of my builds! This time it’s a Hasegawa F-4E in Hellenic Air Force trim. I managed to get the Aires cockpit in, which is dreadful and some resin exhausts, also from Aires.
The paints used are Gunze and Alclad metals and coats.
Hope you like it!

F-4E Phantom II GAF by Jurgen Jaacks
Here is my Greek Air Force F-4 E

It´s a refurbished Hasegawa F-4 E with slatted wings.
The decals are from CAM pro.
Otherwise I did some weathering, added an exercise bomb disperser from a Hasegawa weapons set and a Sidewinder training round. The Sidewinder launch rails are from a Monogram F-4 kit, as they are a better representation of the real ones. Resin seats were also added.
Best wishes Jurgen J.
F-4E Phantom II by Ian Ruscoe
The F-4E Phantom is the 1:32nd scale Tamiya kit with an Avionix resin replacement cockpit. The figures came from Verlinden and PJ Productions – the latter was a conversion using kit crew parts and PJ legs.

I love the Tamiya Phantom kits – still the only really decent kits in this scale, they aren’t perfect but they fit together better and are most accurate for variants covered.

F-4F Phantom II WTD 61 - Flight Test - by Mehdi Nader
Hi

Hope you be fine.

I am “Mehdi Nader”, a professional modeler who is living in Iran, Tehran.
I am one of your website’s fan. As the matter of fact, recently I’ve finished
a Revell 1:32 F-4F Phantom II WTD 61 “Flight Test” kit. Actually it took around 35 hours to be made.

I just wanted to share its pictures to you too .

Thanks & Regards, Mehdi Nader

F-4F IRIF by Mohammad Adl
Kit: 1:72 Revell F-4 Phantom 04615
This is yet another Revell F-4F Phantom in 1:72nd. This is my fifth model and is painted to represent aircraft F-4 IRIF (Islamic Republic of Iran). My opinion is the Iranian camouflage is one of the best colour schemes applied to any F-4. (What do you think?)
The ICE Phantom is a major upgrade for the F-4F, and finally gives the aircraft a BVR capability with its APG-65 radar and AIM-120 missiles.
Nice model of one of my favourite subjects, and I was very pleased with the results. Model was built in about 10 days in May and I built it with all restrictions.
In my country is lack of buying facility results in boycott. The boycott is unfair because that causes hurt to all people not to government. (Specially artists)

F-4J Phantom II by Ian Ruscoe
This is one of my own aircraft dioramas – it’s in 1:32nd scale. The F-4J Phantom is Tamiya’s lovely model of the US Navy variant.

The scene depicts an F-4 of VF-151 “Vigilantes” onboard USS Midway CV-41 circa 1979 about to be prepared – flighted etc, before being launched on a CAP mission.

Hope you like it?

F-4J Phantom The Checkerboards by Mike Tipping
This is the Tamiya 1:32 kit, which is starting to show its age, not sure why they include the screws for fitting, but anyway, she went together rather painlessly. I used resin ejector seats and engine cans, with quite a lot of Eduard brass in, the pilots were from PJ productions, again my thanks to Jenifer @ JS miniatures for the lighting rig, and programming the chip.

Main decals were from the colourful F-4J Phantoms, very nice, more than could be said for the kit decals, they were dreadful, and I had to delve into my spares box, good old spares.

The armaments were Eduard but only the Sparrow and Sidewinders, I was going to use the Eduard kit on the bombs but the kit ones worked nicely. She was all painted using Tamiya paints.

F-4J Phantom II - VF-84 Jolly Rogers - by Hong Hwan
Hasegawa 1:48 scale

Here is another of the stunning pieces by Hong Hwan Jang. Some incredible weathering on show here. Note the incredibly subtle airbrush work to get that authentic US Navy low-vis finish. Simply inspirational work. Thanks Hong Hwan.

F-4J Phantom II by Les Venus
Hasegawa 1:48 scale

This is the beautiful1/32nd scale Tamiya kit. It’s almost entirely from the box, the only exception being the Eduard cockpit set. Paints used were a mixture of Vallejo, Xtracryllics and Tamiya. The decals are from the kit and I had not seen them applied to a kit in any scale until I used them on mine.

F-4J Phantom II Jolly Rogers by Marco Leibisch
Here’s my Tamiya F-4J Phantom II in 1:32 scale.

I spent a long time on the base using mostly AMMO of Mig Jimenez, AK weathering products and you can also see other small accessories like leaves, grasses etc.

Glad you like it.

F-5A South Vietnamese AF by Jürgen Jaacks
An F-5A from Classic Airframes in scale 1:48 scale, built straight from the box as a bird from the South Vietnamese Air Force during its final days.
It is a former Iranian Aircraft being delivered to South Vietnam still in its desert camouflage and used in these colours. The scheme was taken from the book “Fall of the Flying Dragon” from Harpia Publishing.

See you! Jürgen Jaacks
F-5B Canadian ‘Aggressor’ by Jürgen Jaacks
Attached some pictures of an F-5 B I finished this year and also had at our Cologne Pirates stand at SMW (2012).

After having a bunch of F-5 kits laying around in my cellar for some years now the release of the wonderful AFV Club F-5 E/F in scale 1:48 triggered me to start an F-5 series; and here is the first one. It is an F-5B in a Canadian Aggressor scheme, which is included in the kit. The kit is no longer available, as Classic Airframes unfortunately disappeared from the market last year or so. Whereas the basic layout of the kit is more on the basic side, the resin parts included really make the difference and make effectively almost as good as the new Kinetic kit. Assembly took some dry-fitting of the parts, especially the resin parts. The colours are rather odd, but exactly that makes the difference of the scheme. I used Xtracolor paints: X39, X107 and X133.
After all the work invested was honoured by a medal from the folks from IPMS Winnipeg at SMW 2012. Thanks!

F-5B VNAF by René Van Der Hart
Hi all,
Here is another of my recent Kinetic builds. This is the 1:48 F-5B in VNAF markings.

The mechanism to open/close the canopies were completely scratch built. A pair of resin ejection seats and photo etch mirrors were the only aftermarket parts I used.

The model was painted with Hataka paints from the orange lacquer based range over a black primer from Alclad.

Again the kit decals are very good and gave no problems at all.

René VDH.

Send Us Your Images

If you have some pictures or two of your best, favourite or most recently completed scale models, then this is your opportunity to celebrate your work and show them to a worldwide audience...

Just a few pointers to help you though:

  1. Images need to be digital and sent via e-mail or you can Drop Box them to me at: geoff.coughlin@btinternet.com
  2. Images should be sent in a ‘medium’ size, JPEG format. If you are using Microsoft Windows, simply right-click on the image in ‘My Pictures’ or wherever it is stored and you should be prompted with the option to ‘send to’ and select ‘mail-recipient. A box opens asking what size you want to send the image. ‘Medium’ is fine (approx: 1024 X 768)
  3. I might not publish your pics if the image quality isn’t there or for any other given reason
  4. Please also include a few words with your pics to explain a little about: what your model is; kit; scale; any extras added; painting, weathering and finishing your model – maybe around 100-200 words will be fine. Thanks Geoff

So... please do send in your images. Contact-us now
