Christian RistitsSo I couldnt wait anymore...started today with my F-4B...interior looks good so far...good progress and amazing PE`s from Eduard!
27 July 2014, 15:20
Christian RistitsIs it really sold out? So it puts more pressure on me to build it smooth!
28 July 2014, 15:49
Clifford KeeslerYes they are sold out to my dismay. But the Acadmey B anc C are still around so guess I will have to settle for that.
28 July 2014, 22:54
Christian RistitsI think this is a good choice...the kit itself is of good quality, spend him a PE-Set for the cockpit, and its done...

Roland SachsenhoferVery well done Christian! I am eager to see more of your Phantom...

Stefan FraundorferDas wird sicher ein endgeiles Teil. Wünsche Dir viel Spaß beim Bau.

Christian RistitsThank you very much for your kind words, mates! They mean a lot to me! Just working on the paintjob...although the paint-scheme seems not so difficult, it causes some troubles to me.
2 August 2014, 15:52
Christian RistitsUpdate...the main paintjob is finished...tomorrow I will paint the exhaust section and black-section on the upper fuselage...😉
2 August 2014, 17:56
Christian RistitsUpdate...what a hell of a paintjob...but I did it...I am satisfied with the result...

Christian BruerHi Christian, nice result! Just wondering, do you use Tesa Krepp for masking? I always use Tamiya or Aizu masking tape not to ruin the paint work because of tackiness of other tapes. Cheers, Christian

Sven SchönyanHey Christian, very nice build. Do you do the painting according to the instruction?
3 August 2014, 10:55
Christian Ristits@Christian, thank you! Yes, I indeed use a mix of revell masking and tesa krepp tape...it works well, I never had problems with it (and its cheap as well) 😉
@ Sven, if you mean the colours...I have to convert the colours in the instruction sheet (aqueos and Mr. Colour) to revell...for the main fuselage I have used Revell grey 371 with a little shot of grey 76. Undersite is white.
Cheers!

Christian RistitsThank you guys...glossy clearcoat is applied...looking forward to do some decaling today evening...
4 August 2014, 10:40
Albi Hitz... there are a lot more little, tiny stencils .... go for it .... 🙂
I like it so far ... I'm curious about the next steps.

Dick HunterWhat a great looking Phantom Christian! I'll be watching for more photos
5 August 2014, 00:09
Christian RistitsThank you! Yes, millions of little tiny decals are waiting for me...hope I will do it before christmas!
5 August 2014, 05:22
Christian Ristits@Christian - I thin them with Revell Aqua Mix...difficult colours with 2:1...well covering colours 1:1;
@Clifford, no need to be jelaous...at the moment I am really struggling with soooo many stencils *lol*
5 August 2014, 18:37
Christian RistitsOh No! Furball has printed the access markings incorrrectly - as you can see on the pic, there is also the number of the stencil printed as stencil itself *lol* That is causing much more work...not funny 😉
5 August 2014, 20:37
Christian RistitsHello Mates, finished the ejection seats today...the textile parts are not easy to handle...put I like the result 😉
11 August 2014, 18:15
Christian RistitsFinished model...only weapons and fuel tanks are missing...hope you like my F-4!
14 August 2014, 16:09
Roland SachsenhoferWonderful Christian! I really like the finish and overall-appearance of your Phantom! Great!
15 August 2014, 09:19
Christian RistitsThank you all! Finished today the external fuel tanks and bombs...
16 August 2014, 16:20
Christian RistitsThank you my friends, I have added the weapons and tanks, so I will try to get some good pictures of the complete model soon...😉
19 August 2014, 07:07
Roland SachsenhoferIf we like them? Yes we do, indeed!!!
Großartig, Christian, das Modell sieht so gewaltig aus, wie es einer Phantom auch zukommt, ich bin extrem beeindruckt! Ein überaus stimmiges Modell, bei dem sich Gebrauchsspuren, Schattierungen etc. wundervoll ergänzen und nichts als übertrieben rausfällt. Fantastic build!
19 August 2014, 09:21
Christian RistitsRoland, thank you very much for your overwhelming Feedback - that means a lot to me, and makes me motivated for my next Project! I have tried to do my best, to make a tribute to that fantastic airplane!
19 August 2014, 11:13
Sven SchönyanHi Christian, I´m impressed how you models looks like. I really want to start my one now - unfortunately I still have enough to finish before starting something new....
19 August 2014, 15:30
Clifford KeeslerAS we used to say in the Marine Corps, SH (S... Hot.) Great job. I am going to have to settle for the Acadmey F-4B,But I think it is a nice kit.
19 August 2014, 16:46
Christian RistitsThank you all for your nice comments!
Clifford, cant wait for your F-4B project!
20 August 2014, 07:53

30 July 2016, 23:35
Bernhard SchrockVery good result Christian! Do you intend to make any pics "without wallpaper"🙂?
31 July 2016, 06:58
Christian RistitsMany thanks my friends for your kind feedback again! This Build is an older one, I finished it in August 2014, and its allready gone to a collector in Austria 😉
31 July 2016, 16:49
Christian RistitsThank you very much Clifford, Roland and Bryn! Glad that you like it! You make me motivated to build a new one soon 😉
3 August 2016, 18:10
