Greetings,

I have one of my Franklin Mint repaints to show, but I want some advice for how best to upload the pictures. In the meantime, I'll give it a try on my own.

The plane you will see shortly is a British version of the F-4J, known as the FGR Mk.1 as used by the Royal Navy. The decals and some of the historically accurate parts I added (e.g., fuel tanks) came from the out of production Hasegawa plastic kit.

The plane I repainted has been weathered to reflect sun effects as well as soot, exhaust, etc. The hardest part of the whole thing was hand-painting the inside of the air intakes. The finish on the plane is protected by five coats of clear varnish, hence is arguably more durable that a new FM out of the box. Also, the decals won't peel under normal conditions because of how well they have been sealed.

Hello, I did as you said and tried to upload but where is the picture?

[Mesa]

Attached are some of the pictures of the ROYAL NAVY plane scheme I just finished. I listed the thread tag incorrectly as ROYAL AIR FORCE. I'm working on so many things it's easy to get confused.

I'm trying to post the pictures I uploaded.

I think I got the hand of this . . . barely. I had to upload directly from my computer because I can't seem to manage the ones I uploaded through the forum drop-down menu.

A sixth picture. I also used a full decal stencil set, something FM rarely does. For anyone interested in "adopting" this plane, send me a PM.
