F-4j Phantom II 1/48 hasegawa model aircraft

[@FivePointsVids]

I just built this model. It was amazingly difficult. I have been modeling for several years but doing mostly armor. I could not have done this model without this video - the level of patience needed for a plane is immense. Thank you so much for this vid, there were several times I wanted to drop a piece of wood on my creation, but overall I am happy.

[@albertandrews130]

I agree. The Hasegawa kit is old and not user friendly.

[@thesailjunkie]

I have to say, there is no way on Earth that I would have the patience to do what you modelers do. Your enthusiasm, hard work, and attention to detail is truly amazing. You are artists in every sense of the word. A tip of the old skimmer to all of you.

[@ScaleHangar182]

Thank you very much sir

[@davidmcleod7757]

beautiful work and attention to detail when i was a kid i built models planes and ships from Revell i worked mowing lawns and shoveling snow and raking leaves to get my models and supplies years later i went into the navy and landed on an aircraft carrier the Oriskany cva 34 figures while i was in the Navy my parents moved into a mobile home and couldn't take my models behind in the attic of the old home I was pissed when i found out a lot of man hours wasted but i was blessed too have a good paying job and bought the same Revell models from the 60's and 70's for a hobby when I retired now I'm retired and haven't built yet watching this video of yours has inspired me to start building them all over again thanks David McLeod

[@faithfulpatriot4008]

Your talent is at " Rock Star" level. Thanks for being inspiring😘

[@terrygoldfarb2631]

Best time of my life working the F4. USS Coral Sea 69-70. Thank you for bringing back fond memories.

[@strikebr]

A reliable fighter in real life, and a beautiful model art piece. The attention to the details is really impressive.

[@killerorca1]

more than reliable. i hated the dam trainers than they gave me this. YES THERE IS A SANTA CLAUS! many years ago and i still miss the grand lady the only other better were sr-71 and f-14

[@throngcleaver]

What a stunning example of how a model aircraft should be painted! I'm impressed.

[@ScaleHangar182]

Thank you

[@GoUSA111]

I could always assemble models, no issue. What amazes me is your artistic ability to paint/weather/finish... just fantastic looking. Great video.

[@ScaleHangar182]

Thank you very much. I think I'm bot very good in assembling 😂

[@psoon04286]

Agree with you. Most people can do the assembly of a model kit with little to no difficulty - but to finish it like this requires some artistic skills👍👍👏

[@CharlyBaby77]

One of my favourites model kits. Many, many years ago I did that exact model, but not as well as yours, obviously. I love that one :)

[@mccloysong]

Phenomenal detail and craftsmanship! (one small thing: the wingtip navigation lights, green/red, are backward; red should be on the left.) Easy fix on a gorgeous piece of work.

[@ScaleHangar182]

Yeah a lot of guys here already mentioned that but I fixed this after the video was released

[@mccloysong]

@@ScaleHangar182 A very microscopic little detail that in no way detracted from your immense talent and how beautifully you put that together.

[@krisanludwiczak6377]

I sat once in the cockpit of a F4, great plane and great model

[@rayF4rio]

Wow! I used to make model airplanes in the 60's and 70's, but never approached your level of artistic detail. I went on the fly Phantoms in the Marines, and your model is nicer than the real thing. Love your detail on weathering and of course all the hydraulic leaks! Beautiful!

Nav lights are "Red" for "Port Side" (Left), and "Green" for "Starboard" (Right). , .. ..

[@MemphisBelle291]

ha...great...Now I finally can remember which side is starboard and portside, awesome...thx :)

[@evenvalbjrn1323]

Good way to remember is; Is there any Red Port (wine) left? :)

[@Mishn0]

I remember it politically: "the left is red"

[@ph11p3540]

I enjoyed building my Hasegawa 1/48 scale model kits. I still think they make the absolute best aircraft model kits in 1/72, 1/48 and 1/32 scales. I especially love my four F-14 Tomcat models especially. I built this very same F-4J Showtime model kit along with the Felix and Sundowners phantoms. I loved adding hydraulic lines and other bits inside the landing gear wells.

[@NazidKimmie]

Dude, you make it look so easy, but those time lapse video are tough work but mesmerizing...tight work

[@dxroadduke]

Beautifully done! Years ago, I built a USN F-4J 1/48 kit, just like that one, "Showtime 100"-- I believe it was a Revell kit. It was fine, but it didn't turn out as nicely as yours!! 👍

[@stephencannon3140]

Excellent detailed tribute to one of the greatest fighters that ever lived. Big and not the greatest design but state of the art for it’s time. With that said.....and this is for all posters of Y/T videos.......a color contrasting background for the descriptions of video steps and thoughts. White is viewable but some fade especially against a light background. Example........ Lighter background shades.......Black or red. Darker background......lighter colors, yellow, red, white etc... Once again great detail and right to the subject......not a excessive amount of “Fluff” to fill in gaps. The “Fluff “ factor is more common on voice narrative videos like the poster wanted to hear themselves speak.

[@johnprice7303]

That is just so f--ing sensational (pardon my language) The paint is so perfect that the model actually looks heavy, and ultra-realistic!

[@duggar11]

Beautiful build of my favorite Aircraft.

[@BennyCFD]

WOW... great build. It only took you 23:00 minutes to complete.

[@ScaleHangar182]

Hah. A bit more then that ;)

[@wakcedout]

Haha I think wether it’s scale model or table top miniatures we all wish it would take us 23 minutes lmfao

[@bblankenship787]

[@Bredaxe]

Amazing job! I have the Jolly Rodgers version still in the box. I look at it every once in a while, but it intimidates the hell out of me, lol. After your video, I'll have more courage to tackle it. Great work again!

[@-sailboatmodel]

the process is instructive, the result is beautiful

[@possiblepilotdeviation5791]

Just ordered one of these bad boys. Can't wait!

[@joecalobeer6396]

Very Nice! One of the first things I was taught about the F-4 was stay away from those little doors in between the main landing gear. I believe they are blow-in doors for the engine bays ventilation. They opened and closed almost instantly while hydraulics are running. So anything, maybe a hand or arm would at the least get crushed. At the worst, amputation! The Air Force marked them with red on the perimeter like the landing gear doors for a little extra warning to stay away. Just a little memory you jarred loose while watching your build! 👍🏼

[@ScaleHangar182]

Thanks for a bit of trivia! :)

[@jacksparrow6218]

Absolutely gorgeous !!! I'm so envious. I wish I had the patience and attention span that it takes to do them so nicely.

[@ScaleHangar182]

Thank you sir!

[@jwaddle102]

Just a little advice for future Navy builds...no plane would be allowed to leave the deck with bare metal on the seats. Those were touched up daily at sea and on the land. I was an AME in VF-102 and we did daily inspections on all our F-14's and had to touch up any bare metal on the seats and put a thin layer of lube on any component that was not painted. That included the cockpit paint as well.

[@B501R]

1/48 is my favourite scale model, especially the big size like B-1, B-29, B-47, DC-3, AC-130 etc.

[@leechoonfai4316]

This was a god damned gorgeous build, and I learned so much from this. Thanks for posting.

F-4J Phantom II "Showtime 100" flown by Randy "Duke" Cunningham and Willie "Irish" Driscoll

[@FacelessMan777]

Do you know he did about 8 yrs in the federal penitentiary for accepting bribes as a congressman.

[@AvengerII]

That wasn't their main plane. Showtime 100 was the VF-96 squadron commander's plane. You can see his name (the commander's) on the canopy sills of the model. Cunningham and Driscoll's main F-4 ride was Showtime 110 which DID survive the Vietnam War. It was later upgraded into an F-4S and tired (probably) in the 1980s. It's on display at the San Diego Air & Space Museum in Balboa Park, San Diego. It still displays markings for the first two kills Cunningham and Driscoll achieved in Vietnam.

[@TheJer1963]

@@AvengerII They had 3 kills on May 10, 1972. It was not on display at the Museum during my time in San Diego in the Navy. I was there from 1985-89 serving on the USS Constellation. We got the VF-154 Black Knights right after I went aboard in 85, they had just switched from the F-4 to the F-14.

[@AvengerII]

@@TheJer1963 I'm aware of the fact that Showtime 100 was the plane they got their last 3 kills in. Not the point -- it wasn't their main ride. Showtime 110 was down for repairs that day and that's why they (Cunningham and Driscoll) used the squadron commander's plane. Of course, at this point, it's kinda moot because Cunningham destroyed his reputation nationally with the bribery scandal. He got out of federal prison not long ago. They let him keep his Navy pension but of course he forfeited the congressional pension. The more I hear about the guy, the more its clear that the reputation he had across the country was NOT what you hears and saw from the vets in San Diego. I got a very dirty look from a guy at the museum (1995, when I visited) when I mentioned his name. That was well before the bribery scandal. Naive little me was not aware of local or Navy politics. There are vets from his time in the Navy who did NOT like him, who had personal contact with him or knew guys from his time on the Constellation who were in his squadron. I don't think it's envy, btw. Gen. Olds, probably the most-respected Vietnam fighter pilot, wouldn't even mention Cunningham directly by name in his book but clearly detested him. They'll keep Showtime 110 as a museum piece and reminder of the Vietnam War but Cunningham will never be inducted into the San Diego aviation hall of fame... To be fair, this is NOT an anti-Navy post. There are lots of guys in the Air Force who hated Chuck Yeager, too, and he's been described as both difficult and an asshole in real life. The public image and what these guys are like in real life are sometimes 180-degrees apart.

[@B501R]

I was born in the wrong era, when youtube wasn't existed yet. HAD THIS been existed 25 years ago, I would have finished models as good as yours.

Brill job my friend. That's so weird ! I have this exact kit, the same masks, the same wheels and the same Eduard cockpit set !! That's so strange so I'm saving this video for when I do mine !! Well done buddy

[@MottysMilitaryModels]

Hi Dave, sorry for being a pain , can I ask in your video you don't see you have any real issues , now I'm doing this exact kit at the minute as a break from armour and dios !! My fuselage is badly warped to the extent of me trying every technique known to man to get it straight and it's still badly off !!! I was just wondering if you had to do anything first to prepaRe this for such an outstanding job such as yours that this project t turned out to be ?? Also did you find you had to do a lot if any re-scribing and filing or anything ??

[@bearbergmann2782]

@@ScaleHangar182 used to be man. Its really cool seeing you build these models and adding all the distress and grime. I flew on the KC-135 and everytime a fighter would come up, you'd see dents, worn pain, and oil. Awesome machines. I love seeing those aircraft I used to refuel on your channel. F-15, F-16, F-4...have you done any bombers? B-1, B-2, or B-52?

[@ScaleHangar182]

Hi, that's great man, fun experience! No I didnt build any bombers yet, for now I have a few fighters to build in 48th scale, F-86, A7, F-14, Su-27, also got SH3H Seaking helicopter, and few 1/35 tanks in between, currently also a few star wars kits too

You should rate your builds by how many beers they took to complete. An easy one would probably be a 1 or two beer job but a complex one would be like 3 or 5
