Here is my recent
model, F-4E based in CLARK AIRBASE in the Philippines. It is a 72nd scale by Revell.

I opened the gun bay
and scratch build the Vulcan cannon with hypodermic needles. It was a little bit
tricky, just imagine 6 sharp needles and 2 more for the pitot tubes and I end up
with sore thumb and fingers (aaawww).
I wanted my model to
look like it was sun bleached, so the techniq was to add a drop of white in
every color that I used, then touching it up with the original shade. This give
you the illusion of fading camo. I also blotched it so it will look
like it was constantly patched up with fresh paints.

I also added shadows
to the panel lines and highlighted it with my home brew wash (rotring
ink+H2O+liquid soap). I also used this wash to represent hydraulic leaks.
I was lucky to find a decal sheet in Hannants that represent an aircraft that
was based in the Philippines.
I hope hope you
like my F-4
Paul
