Beautiful. I admit I'm a Phantom Phreak and a fan of the JASDF. Despite the issues to correct, my go to is the 1/32 Tamiya F4E and EJ kits. Depicted the EJ as 17-8301. Tamiya stopped production on the two E models so for the next two JASDF F4-EJ to be built I had to order the sprue replacement parts from Japan for the E nose and use the F4C/D and J kits to convert. With the decals from DMX one will be 17-8440 the other in Sea Camouflage. When completed the 301 and a F15J, 02-8801, are JASDFs first of the type and 440 the last will be displayed together in flight on custom stands. The Sea Camo resting on its gear with obvious, weighted tires so I don't get yelled at. Also converted two kits to make the F-4E Terminators with the newer wing parts and centre fuel tank from the Revell kits. If interested I have them posted on my channel.
Here's the one thing that all the suppose to be professional model builder's miss , airplanes all have WEIGHT , but somehow their TIRES are PERFECTLY ROUND WHEN SITTING ON THE GROUND , they forget to FLATTEN THE GROUND CONTACT POINT , it gives the model the appearance of REAL WEIGHT.
At 3:51 you can see that I have sanded down the wheels to create flat spots. However yes, for three fuel tanks it is a bit reserved on the amount removed.
Nice job very Kool livery. Keep it up 👋
Stunning.. magnificent job!
