Tamiya 1/48 F-4B Phantom Build Part 1

[@TheBearScaleModels]

ooohhh this is the only channel that i will watch on building the tamiya f-4... because its all i need ! closing up gear bays is my next year goals, so as always keep it coming ! awesome sauce !

[@michaelnaven213]

You are not an average modeler. I really like your craft.

[@citadelgrad87]

You always have great tips, so i will return the favor. Look into a scalpel. They are more than an x acto, but the blades are super cheap, and a snap to replace. Super sharp, and lots of profiles to choose from.

[@seanerk5kt9]

Thanks!

[@burntelmtoo]

You have given me so many great tips, maybe I can "pay it forward" . I few years back when I wore a younger mans clothes I had a huge record collection, I bought this red gun called the Zerostat "The Static Killer". You pointed it at your records pulled the trigger slow and you could hear the static coming out of the record, kinda cool. I also had the problem with static on my models and things sticking to it especially during or great Canadian winters. I use it on canopies, blow them clean with compresses air cans (photograph stores), and Bob's your uncle. I sure they are still around now that there seems to be a record revival...cheers, and thanks for another great video.

So took me all weekend to watch this because of all the Thanksgiving activities but I’m super fired up about part two!😂 More model building greatness and my favorite subject of all time……Phantoms phorever!

[@seanfoster3052]

Hope to have this kit under the Christmas tree in a few weeks despite Brandon's best efforts. I'll be building it in flight so I highly appreciate the heads up regarding closing the rear gear doors.

[@Rob-tq5ym]

closed up the 32nd one.are we in the same ball park

[@markc7002]

NG Looks good!

[@brandtall9639]

An on line modeler uses his cell phone lite to highlight the molded canopy frame. Works really well.

HES BACK

[@citadelgrad87]

As usual, very nice work.

[@markusv311]

Hi Sean, cool to have a new series here😎 This will turn out great👍

[@GregsModels]

I'd have kittens just thinking about painting a tint on a canopy 👍

[@richardpike1387]

"Average modeller"? You sir are very modest.

[@xtremismodels]

Awesome work! Been on the fence about which F-4 kit to build for a while now. Can't wait to see how this beauty turns out. 😎👍👍

[@danielbritton8588]

Just as I was reading comments & saw repeated mentions of "Average Modeler" you said it. You left the average modeling room a long time ago. To be fair, many of my personal OMG's have been over your bases. That belly of that P-40 you did rests in my mind also. Then recalling the Privateer project. When any of us does extensive builds like that, Bye bye average.

[@tokoloshgolem]

You are NOT an average modeller!!!

[@Rob-tq5ym]

this is great,getting mine 2moz so can join in

[@danielbritton8588]

There is a "Dogfights" episode on youtube covering Cunningham & Driscoll's exploits of one mission where they had to eject from their Phantom. If you have not seen it, it is a very good depiction of that flight. Thanks for being out here.

[@bidumodels1324]

Show 👏👏👏👍

[@vidar7106]

As suggestion for a future project mounted like this. Get a small scale carrier kit and do a “Forced Perspective” display. Using differing scales gives the presentation of depth.

[@tony_bird]

one day i’ll build the one i have in the backlog…

[@brandtall9639]

The VF 154 Squadron was assigned to my ship, the USS RANGER. Awsome looking bird. Just sayin.....

[@seananthonyegan3395]

A beautiful Slurp congratulate yourself 😃

[@seanerk5kt9]

Gracias me amigo!

[@jerryguerena1983]

A pleasant Slurp to you sir!! Nice work bro!! I’ve finished my F-4 as well it goes together so easy it feels like your cheating, it’s such nice kit. Love the look of in flight, thats kinda your signature model building at work, I must try that on my next build. As always keep up the good work!!💯❤️🤙🏼

[@seanerk5kt9]

All kits should be this nice to put together!

[@bobdyer422]

I thought only Rigo em'barks? Or does he em'woof? If you ever get lacquer thinner on clear plastic and it fogs up, Mother's Plastic headlight restorer will clear it up. I would have been using more "colorful language" when trying to get the decals to adhere. IP's look good! How about "The Spook" for the base, Phantom II official mascot. Went together well, looking forward to next vid. Average modeler, sure, nice try.

[@bobdyer422]

DARN IT! It should have been RINGO, OH WELL, I'm old.

[@markbellamy9550]

average modeler hahahahahaha i wish i had your modeling skills and knowledge

[@clonefox80]

Hey man, good to see ya,,,I'd definitely choose the tan nose version,,great colour tones. Have you seen the new, Academy 1/32 F4 E 'Vietnam era' ? It looks really cool ,,, 7 different markings, Inc 2 JASDF birds,,,definitely worth the money. Almost got my studio up and running,,,I'll send you some pics when it's done. Let's go Brandon

[@seanerk5kt9]

Lol on the Brandon…he’s such a doucher. Good to hear from you Nick…I was just thinking about you the other day. Haven’t seen the F4E, I’ll have to check it out. I did a resin conversion once on the Tamiya kit and it turned out pretty cool. Those long noses are really cool. Can’t wait to see pics of your new studio!
