F-4B Phantom II
VF-111 Sundowners
Basically, I built this kit straight from the box,
except for additional mirrors, seat belts, side panels, WSO's wiring, and
bombs from Hasegawa Weapon Set. The
kit was painted using Testors FS 16440 (Gloss Gull Grey) for the topside and
Insignia White for the bottom side.

Testors Metalizer for the metal area. I bought
this kit very long time ago, and all the clear-film of the decals has become
yellowing, so I cut off all the clear-film of the decal one by one. Also I
backdated the supplied VF-111 decal (originally intended for the F-4N
"NM") to VF-111's F-4B by painting the sunburst and "NL"
code of the fin.
Weathering was done by
pre-weathering and post-weathering using watercolor paint. After all weathering
done, I sprayed the kit using Gunze's Flat Clear untill semi-gloss effect
achieved.
