Masks for the camouflage scheme of the heavy twin-engine F-4E fighter-bomber in the service of the Iranian Air Force, 1:48 scale. The film defines the sharp boundaries of the desert fields across the whole airframe.
Responsibility details are not available.
The two-seat Phantom was in its day the heaviest and most powerful fighter-bomber of Western manufacture, and Iran took it in numbers that made it the backbone of the Iranian Air Force. The E version brought an internal cannon in a lengthened nose, the detail by which it is told apart from the older variants at a glance. The machines went through the eight-year war with a neighbor and a number of them stayed in active service long after they had been retired elsewhere.
Iranian Phantoms carry a scheme derived from the American desert pattern, but with departures of their own. You will need a light sand, a darker brown toward cinnamon and an olive green, plus a very light gray for the lower surfaces. The radome on the tip tends to be darker than the nose around it and is worth mixing separately. Do not mix the shades blindly from a chart: these machines faded heavily in the sun and individual examples differ from one another.
This airframe has plenty of doubly curved surfaces, above all where the wing kinks upward and the tail surfaces downward. That is where the film most often lifts and paint runs under it. It pays to cut the edge at the bend and fold it over rather than stretching the material by force. Draw off excess paint by leaving pauses between passes of the airbrush.
