Here is my recent model, F-4E based in CLARK AIRBASE in the Philippines. It is a 72nd scale by Revell.

I opened the gun bay and scratch build the Vulcan cannon with hypodermic needles. It was a little bit tricky, just imagine 6 sharp needles and 2 more for the pitot tubes and I end up with sore thumb and fingers (aaawww). 

I wanted my model to look like it was sun bleached, so the techniq was to add a drop of white in every color that I used, then touching it up with the original shade. This give you the illusion of fading camo. I also blotched it so it will look like it was constantly patched up with fresh paints.

I also added shadows to the panel lines and highlighted it with my home brew wash (rotring ink+H2O+liquid soap).  I also used this wash to represent hydraulic leaks. I was lucky to find a decal sheet in Hannants that represent an aircraft that was based in the Philippines.

I hope hope you like my F-4
