Phantom II F-4s VF-161 lo-viz View File Hello, my first contribution. Best Regards Michel Submitter Gruson Michel Submitted 02/03/2021 Category Specific Aircraft  

Thanks Mike, your comments are much appreciated. In a remarkably short time this afternoon I did the undernose panel with less trouble than expected. I started yesterday by laying a place of tape over the lower nose section and tracing the cut line as accurately as possible, then scanned it. The results weren't very encouraging: but when imported into the Silhouette I managed to make the outlines look a little more respectable: I cut the shape expecting it to be way out but, surprise surprise, it fitted well enough first time to satisfy my needs. I'd be the first to admit that it is not perfect, a little tweaking is necessary in some not-so-obvious places, but I'm pretty much calling the foiling done. Having said that, I am going to try covering the intakes on the side panels, having gained some experience with applying foil I think it's eminently doable. I've found that it's a good idea to make the foil shape slightly larger than needed, a sharp knife edge lightly passed over the foil later will trim off any excess. So when I build my second Fury, these will be ready and waiting!

Thanks Kev, hoping to get started on the roundels today.

F-4B Tamiya 1/48 Canopy Mask View File Included in the Tamiya 1/48 F-4B kit is a printed canopy mask sheet that requires cutting out the individual pieces. This file does that cutting for you. Hand traced, and fits precisely. Cut settings are for Oramask 810 ... that also work with Tamiya tape. Gene K Submitter GeneK Submitted 09/11/2021 Category Canopy Masks  

Good luck! Measure the decals provided with the kit so you know what size they are. When you have downloaded the file and have it on screen, choose a marking like the one you’ve measured, for example letters, circle, star etc then drag this to the size you want. Max

Thanks, I'll see how I get on! Complete beginner in this so it should be fun. P

Scale of these masks shouldn’t matter, once downloaded you can adjust to any scale to suit. Max
