Lastvautour Posted August 21, 2015 Author Share Posted August 21, 2015 Thank you HL-10 and Paul. The first display area was damaged by a broken water pipe.You will see it in older pictures I will post shortly. This current one is still in progress. The hangars I work at were always full of machinery, tool boxes and servicing equipment. I tried to clutter things up as much as possible (keeping safety in mind of course).

Lastvautour Posted August 21, 2015 Author Share Posted August 21, 2015 I need to make a correction. I think this is the Testor RF-4C dressed up as a GAF RF-4E. Regardless, I enjoyed making them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selwyn Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 ESCI Phantom II in 1/48 scale. The kit is built straight out of the box. The original kit decals fell apart so home made one were printed on my inkjet, Lou Nice Phantoms! love all the variations in colour schemes sometimes i wonder just how many different schemes the F4 wore in its lifetime. As an aside, Just a few accuracy notes for those people doing maintenance hangar dioramas in the future. In real,life; 1.You never have an aircraft in a maintenance hangar carrying live weapons (IE sidewinders) 2.You never do maintenance on an armed aircraft 3.Personnel never stand in front of forward firing weapons (ie missiles/guns) 4.You never store weaponry in a hangar.

Lastvautour Posted August 22, 2015 Author Share Posted August 22, 2015 Must be hundreds of colour schemes. You can get 458 at this site alone. http://wp.scn.ru/en/ww3/f/59/3 Lou We just brought the aircraft in out of a thunderstorm to download the weapons.

Lastvautour Posted August 23, 2015 Author Share Posted August 23, 2015 Selwyn, the weaponry are Dummy Air Training Missles (DATM). In this case I modeled the rack use with the NFTC BAe Hawk. We used the DATM as a counter weight to the Aircraft Instrumentation System, (AIS) Pod . Lou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
