1/48 Tamiya F-4B Phantom 01 - First Steps

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 23 ก.ค. 2024
- Work begins on Tamiya's F-4B Phantom. While I'd planned to start out in the cockpit, the revelation of Quinta's upcoming (and very amazing looking) cockpit set has me diverting to cover off on other areas while I await the release. So this installment is focused on the engines, gear bays, auxiliary air doors, and the first moves on ordnance.
I legitimately have no idea how it ended up so long. Sorry.

Man I love watching you work. This is very satisfying to watch, in truth; my dad was on the CVN64, in 63/64. He was a redshirt durring flight ops. ans was a ACRCON and was writing reports for the air wing pre. and post miossions. He loved the Phantoms and Skyhaws. Thnak you.
FYI, in the AF; we just called them TERs. Because nobody has the time to say, "Triple Ejector Racks". Always a pleasure watching you work.
I call them that, too, just wanted to avoid confusion in the video
You are the Francis Ford Coppola of Model building videos....Keep up the good work champ!
I like the tab and alignment pin arrangement a lot. Cool as hell. And of course your selection of paints and such. Rock on!
Can't wait! It will look great with your F-4D!
Awesome video - love seeing the different options you've chosen for ordnance. I feel like Tamiya went pretty light on for the loadout in their kit. Looking forward to seeing more progress - cheers!
Matt, the engine is a work of art. Mind blowing tutorial.
Looks good, Doog. For the flame holders, I painted mine with a metallic gray. Weathered them with a rough number pastel and water. Gave a nice oxidizes color and texture. Love the channel. Looking forward to seeing this completed.
That detail inside the turbine is pretty nice
AMAZING I'm about 50 percent on my kit. What a great kit. Tamiya out did themselves on this one.
Doog... You are an animal! Beautiful work my friend! Beautiful work!
Been waiting for this :)
Looking good Matt!
My heart skipped 10 beats when you were glueing those triple ejector rack mounts! Fuck! Seriously mate, everything you touch turns to gold! Solid first episode with lots done. Looking forward to the rest of this series.
Very good video; Thank you
Love the turbine spinners and I would wait for cockpit upgrades too no matter how good the kit parts are.
Nice start man! I should have my kit by Friday, and I’m definitely looking forward to starting this build. I really like the ink work you did on those exhaust spinners. I haven’t used inks in the past, but after seeing you show how to use them I think I will give them a try.
I always enjoy modeling being colorblind, I end up using whatever is called for or after researching another company equal color,
The fact that you can deviate to clearly make a superior product, awesome and thank you.
Excellent video and its going to be an awesome model when its finished. With things like the jet pipes and deeply hidden detail I still use dry brushing. Ok this is deviating from what one sees in pictures of the full size aircraft but with a very dry brush and something like titanium white oil paint you can just catch the edges of features like the flame rings and turbine blades making them stand out in the shadows, even the ribs on the jet pipes.
Hey Doog, Great work, my friend. Hey a suggestion for you, when you go to do your ejection seats, take cloth medical tape and put it on the areas where there are cushions (i.e. seat back and the seat area) and then paint it the color of your cushions then do a light wash on them, and they come out looking like actual cloth.
Love your vid‘s
When I was stationed at McConnell AFB, the KSNG flew F4's. Very loud when they take off. But very cool.
You know when doogs posts a video that its gonna be a good day
When I built my F4-E Easy Rockin Mama in 1/32 I scratch built those engines.. everyone else in the GB said I was crazy!!
I seriously would love to see your collection of paints!! Do you just buy every color of each line? You’ll pull out some color and it’s like “whaattt”?😉 Regardless, you sure know how to make them work for you!
When you install the engines, make sure the fuel igniter on the ring is allocated on the lower side of the engine. Since it’s easy to install the opposite way without paying attention.
Great work so far
Apologies if I missed it but what is in the wash you are using on the wheel Wells?
Alclad gloss
Water
Tamiya nato Black?
Thanks
Tamiya Rubber Black
@@DoogsModels thank you
Can I use an alternative gloss such as tamiya x22? Or kleer?
Love the video. Thanks for putting it out there. Very good work. I am kinda new at this hobby and I have the convenience of having a really cool hobby store close to home but I wanted to know where you get your stuff from? Do you order a lot of your stuff? If so what sites do you like to use? I am in the United States if that makes a difference. And this question is pretty much for anyone on here. I am doing this same model next .
Wow nuff said.....😃😃😃
When is the next episode online? Dying to see it!
Next week
Excellent video, detailing the various techniques Matt, but I can’t help thinking you spend way too much time and effort on parts that really aren’t going to be seen. To be fair, You do acknowledge that though, and I guess those cans are a good a place as any to practice these techniques
I don't disagree.
Do you have a separate airbrush for metallics.
I smell a navy plane !
Marines actually!
Thanks for the video. Really nice to see you addressing the stores at an early stage- makes an awful lot of sense! May I ask- having already bought the exact same Eduard resin sets for my (horrible experience) Academy kit, what exactly is wrong with the MER? I know Eduard aren't always the best thing, but they were miles in front of the Academy. Keeping my Tamiya Phantom on the sprues for now until I finish the Academy.
To answer in Matts place... the biggest drawback to them is that they are too short. In fact if you use Eduards Mk.82 you can't fit a full 6 bomb loadout for that very reason.
Dominik nails it. Eduard MERs are short, but since I'm only loading up two of the forward stations the length is more annoying than crippling.
@@SuperHooloovoo Thank you Dominik. I have the full load of racks and high drags for a 'nam A-6 still in their packs. Cost a lot of money so I'm a little peed off with this info. Typical Eduard, potentially great, often flawed.
@@DoogsModels Thanks Doog- see my above reply to Dominik- cheers and hope to see more of the F-4 soon!
Matt - either in this or the previous F-4B video you use some small sanders - who makes them? and any idea where to get them? Great video and although not a great fan of the Phantom how can I resist! Looking forward to the full build.
You mean the Infini glass files? Infini. They're great.
Nice work. I got a little confused about your aftermarket LAU-3. It sounds like the Eduard LAU-3 is the one you passed on? And which one did you end up using then?
Passed on the Aerobonus. Preferred their engineering but the oversized endcaps were dealbreakers.
Hi Doog, you use acrylic filter from Ammo/Mig, what colors do you recommend to begin with this stuff (I only make modern military aircrafts) ? Thanks
It depends greatly on the colors they'll be going over.
@@DoogsModels Yes of course, will take some and try. Could you tell us the diameter of the bottle (26millimeter max) ? (for stocking in Hobbyzone 26mm holes modules !) Thanks
Outstanding video. Your knowledge of colors & paints is exceptional, especially with your work on the exhausts. The photography is also great. My only recommendation would be to use less profanity. Its not necessary. I’am anxious, however, to watch the remaining videos on the F4B. Thanks.
Profanity isn't going anywhere
in the exhausts, are you using those inks neat or thinned? If thinned, what with? Cheers!!
Both. I started with thinned, but then considered how dark the view would be and so decided to go more aggressive.
For brush stuff, thin inks with X-20A. For airbrush, I really like pairing them with Mr Rapid Thinner - but I've found that not all inks are compatible with it (though Liquitex does wonderfully).
Same in the Navy-we called them “ters”
I have just one fun question for you. How many MRP paints do you own? I’ve stood in front of the rack. Did you buy them all?
I've got a lot, but nowhere near all.
Just being hilarious of course. Very much like your modelling. 🙏@@DoogsModels
I've got around 120 bottles myself and probably still nowhere close to how many Matt has.
I notice that you have used the rapid thinner quite a bit in this video, what's the reason you are using this instead of the levelling thinner? I've seen people use rapid thinner for metallics to suspend the flakes in the drying paint but I heard you using rapid thinner for thr colours too.
what air pressure do you use for the details
Depends on a lot of factors, but usually somewhere around 10-15 psi
What you use for black primer I can't understand what you mean BTW nice first episode mate
Modo MK-12
@@DoogsModels thanks for the reply mate
What is that brush you are using at 7:40?
Zoukei-Mura
I have one question. Are you a professionally educated artist? Your work has that Michelangelo look to it. Your combination of paints, oils,inks,pencils, and pastels are wonderful. And if you just learned this over time , makes your work even more incredible.
What types of ink do you use?
Liquitex mostly
@@DoogsModels Thanks! I've also seen Winsor & Newton Indian ink used to heat stain Sukhoi exhaust nozzles
DOOGS, WHERE DO YOU GET YOUR SUPPLIES FROM? THE ONLY AMMO MILITARY GRN I'VE FOUND IS OVERSEAS. JUST ACROSS THE POND FROM YA IN FLORIDA.
Ordered them straight from Ammo. Also using them on Tank the Rainbow.
Oops Sorry Man didn't think when I posted that, hope I didn't do any harm...
What's up with the F bombing?
6 hasegawa employees disliked ha?
Stop swearing
No. Stop fucking asking.
