Being a kit from 1984, I'm just surprised of how good ad accurate it still feels 40 years later. ESCI was on another level with it's "aircraft family" series. I built a lot of those back in the days and I was surprised bu the fact that, despite being completely unrelated (one was designed in Milan, the other in Shizuoka, you can easily mix the ESCI Phantom with the Fujimi one , without any fitting problem.

My father was a Warrant Officer, master of the flight line working on F-4D Phantom FIghters in the Shah's imperial air force. I just bought a Tamiya version of this plan and waiting for it to arrive. Been a miniature painter for 25+ years. This is my first model kit. Thanks for the video, good help for a beginner modeller like myself. I plan to make it a gift for my dad so extra appreciation.

[@doctormig2709]

I am sure your dad will love it :)

@@doctormig2709 Good art work 👍 only 1 F big turn of is that on the tail is not IRAF flag That’s the Indian skewers which mollahs brought to our Flag back 1979 since mollahs occupation of Iran our motherland since the big mollah khomeyni came from India and never was an Iranian . I you wish I can send you our real over 2500 years flag or just google it Ba Sepaas 🙏

Fantastic model! You are really skilled at free-handing the camo and weathering. Looks like a decent kit....Italeri kits need a little work, but a good modeler like you can make them look awesome! Take care! Drew

[@doctormig2709]

Thank you Drew.The kit is ok for that price.2x cheaper than the hasegawa one.I like the old iltaleri/esci kits.I am used to then because in the early 90s I used to build them a lot and I am quite nostalgic about it.

You are a beast. 🙂 I have a question. How is it possible, that you post every week another model build? Im trying my best to post build videos as soon as they are finished, but you? Mostly it tooks three weeks to complete a model. Wow, you are so fast.

[@doctormig2709]

Thanks.Well I do put a lot of effort into it.It takes me around 7-10 daya do do one video/model from start to finish.Besides that I also do additional kits that I don't film at thr same time.

[@aircraftvr]

Nice job,, but be careful, we do not have that updated Pylon. both missile and bomb are not working at same time in our version. with respects. thanks.

[@doctormig2709]

Thanks for clearing that one out ;) regards

[@test1683]

So just came across your build. I've just started the same kit. It looks like you swapped out or did some custom work on the cockpit details. I really like the look. Do you have any links that you can share? TIA and great work.

[@doctormig2709]

Yes I did some home made upgrades in the cockpit.It is an ok kit a bit innacurate but still ok in the end considering it is over 30 years old.Try googling for some F-4D cockpit walkaround photos.They are available.I found some on pirme portal . net

Cheap Phantom. Very nice build. Congrats.

[@doctormig2709]

[@gavingiles5079]

What's the point of doing the marbling process when you cover it all up with the top coats?

[@doctormig2709]

You cover it gradually leaving just enough to show trough.

[@emmanuelroudaud9349]

I love the Phantom. Great job! I have a question: why do you the most often do a black primer before white stains, rather than just a black pre-shading on the lines ?

[@doctormig2709]

Thanks.Well I dont like the look of thr black pre shading panel lines.This is much faster and I can.achieve better controll and more effrcts in the end.The white mottling makes the surfsce look unevenly faded and you can varry the ammount of the effect with several layers of paint.

[@emmanuelroudaud9349]

@@doctormig2709 ok, thanks for the tip 👍

[@doctormig2709]

Np at all.Its a pleasure ;)

[@Falconeer84]

Always worried when you pull out that 220 grid sandpaper, but it seems to work quite nice to eliminated the seems. Can you always restore those lost panel lines?

[@hankrol7830]

It gives me heart attacks.....

[@Leptospirosi]

Unfortunately this HEAVY use of sand paper and high grit flattens a lot of details, and shapes too. If you look at the top of the Spine, it's probably flattened instead of rounded. Having built several times this kit (or the ESCI version), I can tell you that with a bit of caution and taking your time dry fitting the parts you can get a less messy work with better results. The use of proper Filler also has its place: CA is stronger, but also more difficult to file away, so you can be more "gentle" with the plastic around.

[@coronatv519]
