This is the first
model that I have built in 15 years. I've been building models since
I was 5
years old and I have collected model kits through the years. But
other things have come and gone and now I am ready to dive into modeling
again.

This Revell F-4 was a
good kit. I used a resin refueling rod, but I made a mistake on the
location of the fuel rod. The instructions where no help. It pays to do
some research on the subject your working on. I painted it with Model
Master enamel paint with Aztec Airbrush. All the camo was done free
hand and
the decals where Skydecals, they where a pain to use. I had to use
Microscale decal film in 2-3 layers to keep them from breaking apart.
The
TISEO ( Target Identification System Electro Optical) was made from a A-37
gun pod and a 1,000lbs bomb in 1/48th scale and some plastic card stock.
I weathered with a
pastel wash. And used Model Masters Metalizer lacquer exhaust and burnt metal on
the ends of the exhaust. I then used Tamiya clear blue thinned with alcohol to
give the slight bluing of the exhaust. Well all the help that I got was from
this web site. I thank all the people that put there models on here.
It has
inspired me and i like to show you the help has paid off. Thank you again. And
all of you keep on modeling.
