Donald Dickson IIOK, starting this one up. So far its a fantastic kit. Its Tamiya, so to be expected. Comes with masks and nose weight. Its the little things.

Donald Dickson IINot really an update, just a comment. I dont like being a Tamiya zombie. You know, "Oh my GAAAAWWWWDDDD!!!! Tamiya just put out an F-4B, Im gonna sell off every other F-4B I have!!!!". And yes, I saw commentary like that. BUT, that being said, they do make incredibly well designed kits with "extras" that really shouldnt be extra. This kit came with a set of masks, and as most of their other kits, nose weight designed into the model. So no guessing where you can put fishing weights or the like. And since its there as part of the build instructions, you dont forget and end up having to go back and do surgery to get weight in.
Honestly dont know why other companies dont follow suite on simple things like that that would NOT increase the cost by more than a couple bucks.

Donald Dickson IISo, after complimenting Tamiya on having masks, I went to use them. Well, either I got a screw up, or they just decided they werent going to cut them, just print the outlines and leave it to us to cut them. Now, granted, it still made it a LOT easier than trying to do parafilm or the like, but come on. LOL
Its mostly done. Decals and wheel well doors and that should be it. I have honestly not seen any pics of these planes with any kind of weathering. They kept them close to spotless because stealth. LOL So I dont believe i am gonna do anything to it.

Donald Dickson IIOK, last update before finishing. Its really a lot more difficult orienting these decals with all the freaking angles on this plane. Grrrrr.
And thank you gentlemen. 🙂

Donald Dickson IIOK folks, here she is. Kit was awesome as is to be expected with Tamiya. Painting is rather easy. Flat black. Done. LOL As I mentioned, no weathering. They didnt allow these planes to get dirty at all. The Caracal decals were fantastic. Also to be expected. And not a lot of them. Again, not much on these planes. That whole stealth thing ya know.
