Instructional time lapse video of the full-build, paint and weathering of the 1/48 scale McDonnell Douglas F-4J Phantom II "Rockin' Rhino Limited Edition by Eduard as shown by The Inner Nerd
The first part of this video shows the use of Photo etch parts and scratch building techniques to detail hydraulic pipes and electrical cables professionally and cheaply around both the cockpit and wheel bays.
The second part shows surface preparation techniques such as filling panel gaps and seams with modelling filler and sanding them smooth to get a seamless join between parts. Also basing techniques are included in this section using Mr Hobby "Mr Surfacer 1200 & 1500" to prime the surface ready for painting.
The third part of the video demonstrates the black-basing technique used to achieve a pre-weathered look and surface texture replicating that of an aged and worn aircraft. Harder & Steenbeck Evolution Silverline is used at an operating pressure of 15PSI and a 0.15mm needle + nozzle during this process. Salt weathering is also used detailing how to create a worn look on specific areas of the model. Also included in this section is the jet exhaust painting using Alclad 2 Lacquers and Tamiya clear paints to create a burnt metal effect
Decals follow painting with the aid of Mr Hobby Mr Mark Setter & Softer products. These products allow the decal to form to the shapes and panel lines of the surface which you can see in the video.
After this the machine polish process is shown to remove the "orange peel" effect from the clear coat. This is done using Tamiya sanding sponges in 2000 & 3000 dpi grit and Tamiya Polishing Compounds.
Next is the weathering of the model. This is started using Abteilung 502 oil paints thinned to a wash consistency. Then used as panel line wash the oil is applied across the model to achieve a dirty, grimey & worn look. Further weathering including unthinned Abteilung 502 oil paints to create streaking and water marks concludes weathering
The final part of the video explains the final assembly of small parts including landing gear, lights, antennas and canopy fitment as the model nears completion. All final assembly is completed with CA superglue.
Items Used Airbrush: Harder & Steenbeck Evolution Silverline Needle/Nozzle: 0.15mm
Compressor: Badger 1100 with Anti-Pulsation Tank Working Pressure 22psi (1.51bar)
Paint: Tamiya Acrylics thinned with Tamiya X-20A Thinner Brushes: Pure Sable Brush - Various Sizes
Glue: Tamiya Extra Thin Cement/Loctite 406 Superglue
Sanding: 3M 600p / 800p / 1200p / 2000p / 3000p sheets & sponges

Beautiful work my friend it's a big thumbs up from me take care my friend
Your models are just perfection !
Museum grade build... no higher complement is possible!! Thanks for putting this up!!
Then phantom, for me one the coolest planes ever. Your build is fantastic, absolutely great 👍 i love it
What can i say - an absolute masterclass, stunning. An inspiration to keep improving my own skills.
Sensational! It doesn't get any better than that, no doubt about it.
This is the greatest representation of my favorite aircraft when I was a boy, I have ever seen. The level of detail is extraordinary. It looks so realistic its unreal . Very well done. 👍
Wow! I can't believe how good you are! Awesome! Great work! Little details makes it so real!
With all those intricate parts it's almost equivalent to building a ship in a bottle. Nice job, great patience.
This is your best yet bud beautiful work as always ☺🍺🍻
6.04 in the UK. This is a real pre-work treat. Beautifully done my friend.
Really nice build. I especially like the salt technique for Naval aircraft on Carriers. Thank you for sharing!
Excellent work and a fantastic result!
that is a beautiful build. I could watch your videos all night long
Fantastic work Sir! Everytime i watch your video i learned a new trick from you
Great work. Reminds me of how I used to paint my models (but not as good or detailed as you have shown) when I was a kid (mid 70s). The F4, P51 and P47 were my favorite models back in the day. I liked making jeeps, tanks and ground stuff like that for the most part because it was fun dirtying them up with mixed paints and creating dioramas for them. I remember using a candle to create entry points for shells on tanks. That was fun. Just had to add this, I remember the F4 was tail heavy and P47 was nose heavy. I used slip weights from my tackle box to balance the planes so that they'd sit on all wheels.
Wow. That's some first rate painting.
Great instruction video on how to use modern techniques,thanks!
Hi,
Finally managed to get this kit, and just hope I can build mine and weather it just as good as yours.
Thanks for sharing your work

Hello and thanks for watching.
You've done well to find this kit since it's a limited edition! I hope the video comes in useful but of you want to wait a few more weeks I'm currently building this one again but in different markings. I'm going to include the build up too which may come in useful 🙂
Defo, I’m in no rush. 👍🏻
Your build vids are the best and most pleasant for the eyes....
You are blessed with amazing talent my friend, I can only dream that I had half your skill !!!
Beautiful job. I'll refer back to this video from time to time. Regards, Solomon
Incredibly beautifull build Thanks for sharing
Absolutely stunning, I’m a massive fan, your paint work is stunning, and having seen many photos of this aircraft, and builds, your weathering is spot on, and makes it look real and not a piece of plastic.

16 thumbs down????
People are jealous!
Once again brilliant. Bravo

Hi IN, bought this kit (was extremely hard to get and expensive now) after seeing this video. It's in my loft for now until I'm confident enough I can do it justice like your version. Im only just getting back into the craft after many years away and basically learning from scratch with new products and techniques etc, your vids are much appreciated for gathering tips and techniques and can only say thanks for sharing your work.
I put together a model F-4 while I was in NAOCS (class 12-69) and my Marine DI gave me a lot of shit about it being a less than perfect build. I have a new kit now, but I've not opened the box in years. I blame it on him, sorta.
Excellent!
Stunning work nerd! One of your best so far, and I mean it ! ;)
Jaw dropping work! Build, paintwork, and weathering are top notch. Just wish there was an aircrew to go in the cockpit. Keep having fun. Bill
PanzermansBunker There is a crew in the box. Decided not to put them in though, wantes it in a parked position
Artistry! I am hoping this maybe made its way into a friendly diorama? Anyways, its videos like these that keep pushing me back to modelmaking. Keep up the outstanding work!
Beautiful work! Wow! :D
Very nice model good job dude 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👏👏👏
Very nice build.
I worked on F-4J's until 84 when we swapped for F-18's. Loved serving with VMFA-451 THX.
Ohhhh! Can i pick your brain? I have a question about the wingtips. I have the academy version of this, and it has some blank panels on the bottom, but im sure they should be on top? Is this correct?
Great video.. very impressive.
10/10 on that one Mate!!
Just beautiful.
absolutely amazing,,,,,,total perfection
Beautiful! Great work!
Great model
Stay. On this level
really loved this
Just great, excellent, CONGRATULATIONS! Extrra well done ☻
Astonishing!
Very inspiring! I went out and bought a Su 33 after your sea flanker video... Now I think I'll be doing an F-4 as well. I really enjoy your content mate, keep up the great work.
Such an impressive job. I used to build models but no where near this good. Definitely subbing your channel.
really like how your kit came out. very nice. dont know how someone could give this a thumbs down..
AverageModeler Thanks! Keyboard warriors I suspect, I always get a few... It's a lot harder to produce 100% accuracy by actually making something rather than sitting watching it being made
yeah i hear you on that. i build too and i often have to work with only whats in the kit. after market parts can sometimes cost just as much as much as the kit. but some of these kits are not accurate and we often follow instructions.. people are sometimes retarded.. lol..
Superb work.
sehr schön !!
Realy amazing!
superbe..trés instructif pour moi qui suis novice.. merci beaucoup..
Dude I really love your production efforts...your skill is evident...and you are doing a superb job on these videos.
very nice indeed mate
This is not simply beautiful.
Is art.
So detailed and correct you can search for defects and never find.
You may look to that every time and feel no fatigue.
icervoid I
Un formidable trabajo, una clase magistral de modelismo. Un saludo desde Madrid, te sigo por tu página.
Amazing dude.
Fantastic Work ... absolutely nice Job ....its Just a Beauty ;)

Absolutely stunning
Great build bro!! I was following on instagram and I'm sorry that the tail decals got messed up. But still, killer build!! Thanks for the video!!
Increíble trabajo!!!
Gracias
Beautiful Phantom - and very nice patina on it. LOVE IT !! Precision work!
Excellent build.
Thank you and thanks for watching :)
Nice. Captured the grimy look of these machines.
Awesome talent achieves stunning results.
Thank you and thanks for watching :)
Very impressive
Simply (insert expletive here) remarkable! Thanks so much. I'm going to be doing one of Col. Field McConnell's F4s in the future, thus your guide is of tremendous help!
Very good work. Amazing!
bro holy crap that's freaking awesome dude. I wish I could make these. I have a ton of original designs and paint schemes I wanted to see in an actual model but I lack both the skill, patience and money to do all of this. just earned another sub, fav, like, lol. also great taste in music man. Hello from Brazil btw xD
Nice work mate, I am an armour modeller but currently making a 1/32 Tempest.
Great job! I like the phantom at that scale.
Fantastic build!! Great color scheme too.
My comment was not to deprecate your fine work, I was just relating that our aircraft were never as weathered as I see being depicted on 60-70’s era jets. The squadron commanding officer of VMFA-451was a stickler for keeping the aircraft in good shape, so we washed them often. Keep up the good work!
Masterpiece!
Beautiful
