High Level??? I'm still a lot too much distant from the quality that I would to reach.

Additional note:

If you would to see how the my model will look at the end, click at this link to AIRLINERS.NET where there is the image of the Luftwaffe's F-4F located at Holloman AFB that I wish to reproduce but WHATIF-FING it... http://www.airliners.net/photo/USA---Air/McDonnell-Douglas-F-4F/1460502/L/&sid=cf15b303d53e38906c6138e824c48fb3

It's only a little scratch, I hope of to save the work done without too much effort.

Cammo looks promising!

Regarding to "peeled" paint, maybe better solution than masking tape is Blue tack - it doesn't peel off paint and it is removed quickly.

Will you repaint this area in freehand style or masking again?

Waiting for update...

Will be more simple to do the repair freehand.

In case of necessity will use a Post It roll of tape.

Any updates??

This promises to be a beautiful plane, encouragement, which requires less road, which you've covered so far.

The Phantom single seat/single engine 2011 is in PAUSE.

it look this way now:

Fom the my last post here, have corrected the paint peeled away and painted in yellow the bands on wings and vertical tail.

A curse has shot this kit: by the moment when I peeled away some paint on the right side of the Phantom Se/Se a lot of things are gone wrong, so at a certain point I have loose interest in this project.

In this moment I try to complete at least this:

http://s362974870.onlinehome.us/forums/air/index.php?showtopic=235889&pid=2331657&st=40&#entry2331657

I need urgently to complete a model. The last Year I have started some items, none completed. The Phantom Se/Se still require a lot of work, I will left it for last.
