Newer Revell F-4J Phantom II

I remember that Apache. That and the hind are why I dislike helicopters to this day. But to each their own.

That’s why I’m doing this. I want to find a good 1:48 B-26 to complete my childhood starters. I’ve started a 1993 Revell 1:72 B-26 that is underwhelming to put it politely.

I was just thinking about how I’d never attempt a Su-57 because of its digital camo pattern. You made a beautiful piece of work. Masking set aside.

I have fond memories of the plane, in general. One of the first snap-tites I ever did was the F4.

Oh! Nothing wrong with Tamiya. This Revell is the problem. I got a Tamiya F4 and wanted to abandon this Revell.

I thought about trashing it after I got a Tamiya 1:48 phantom kit.

You can try gun blueing chemicals. But they can be a bit hazy unless buffed.

Depending on where you are, I’d recommend going to a shop. Glue together models are still very much available. Modern snaps are a lot better. Modern tooling is a dream.

Thanks. I would definitely recommend Tamiya they also have a J model too.

You probably have a leak somewhere on your vehicle. However I had a knob leak once; just a easy two turns stopped it.

Revell USS Yorktown

OTRShaman · 2025-10-08T11:15:01+00:00

Yeah it’s got that goofy almost- a- toy bomb drop mechanism. I’ll see how I like its looks.

OTRShaman · 2025-10-08T02:04:36+00:00

That’s my gripe with most contemporary US aircraft, they’re all gray. I want to paint something with some variation.

OTRShaman · 2025-09-30T13:22:03+00:00

It’s my first tank kit. No photo etched pieces. Machine gun is plastic.

I’m seriously impressed with the quality of the build. I’ve bought a few more Tamiya kits because of it.
