Very Nice. How did the Hydrodip process go? Any concerns?

Thanks, I hadn't thought of that. We have an Air Force base right here!!

Wedeliver.. Forgot to answer your question about washing/sanding. I sprayed GooGone on a clean cloth and wiped everything down. Then used a dry clean cloth to wipe the surface off afterwards to be sure I had removed as much GooGone as I could. Didn't do any sanding though. The surface was...

Wedeliver.. Thanks again. I'd like to try and print my own decals someday. Think that would be a great thing to try and do. Unfortunately I don't have a printer at the house and they frown on using work printers for personal use. Photos of the Coast Guard Phantom might be a little late in...

ealt Nice job on the Phantom and the case. Do you know if that case can hold a Phantom with the extended landing skid? The computer build job is amazing. Nice photos

Have had some questions about the paint process on another forum so I will give it a try to explain what I did. Whenever I would use "rattle" cans for painting plastic models, and not an airbrush, paint build up is an issue. With that in mind, I was very impressed with the House Of Kolor paint...

Looks very nice! Good job..

Thanks ProfessorStein, I appreciate the kind words.

Wow.. Thanks to everyone! I'm overwhelmed!! The decals are not made by me. I have always liked putting together plastic model airplanes for years. Have discovered several companies who make sets of decals for a huge line of different airplanes from all periods of time. After I saw the 2...

Thanks for the kind words GoodnNuff and Qyv, I do appreciate it. I only painted the tips yellow as I purchased gray props to begin with. I have used hobby/model spray paints on a previous Phantom project. The paint seemed to go on well and dry nicely. I did prep the surface first using...

Thanks Clipper 707. I appreciate the compliment very much. You never know sometimes how people will react. Thanks Again

Thanks, appreciate your comment about my paint job, and for the YouTube video. Painted tips do seem fine. Nice video effects with the various shutter speeds.

Here is the second F-16 and the quad doing an engine "run-up".

Have just finished a Phantom paint project. Came across a couple of photos of F-16's that were based at a Texas Air Guard base near Houston. I really liked the color/marking schemes and thought I would give it a try. They have now converted over to drones. How ironic!! I used House of Kolor...

Here is the second F-16 and the Phantom doing an engine "run-up". I take the gray props off and fly with white just in case there might be a balance issue with the light coat of paint.
