Hi everybody.  I just want to share with you some shots of my old brush-painted Hellenic Air Force F-4, painted in Aegean Blue camo.

Although there are some errors in this model (which where found after having some good reference pictures of the real bird) it is still an interesting item on my modelling dash…

Weathering was added with a lot of drybrushing with various tones of the original color (Hu144) mixed with white or black. Finally a black drawing pencil plus some finger rubbing did the job on the panel lines…

Nowadays this particular aircraft has been updated with new avionics and painted in an overall three-tone grey ghost scheme which was initially used in HAF’s Vipers. Could this be one of my future projects? Who knows…

Regards,

Yiannis
