On top of that, if you have the time to go through the WIP I posted for my F-4C, you'll find there are many F-4 knowledgeable people on BM, who actually helped me a lot in terms of accuracy and modelling tips.

F4u Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Very nice indeed I'm wrestling a ESCI Phantom into submission at the moment hopefuly it will turn out as half as good as yours. Guy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight_Flyer Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Very nice build, looks great and always good seeing another SEA camo F-4 On 10/22/2016 at 0:55 PM, noelh said: In relation to the SUU-16. It's as Giemme says more appropriate for that particular timeframe. It just so happens that I watched a documentary on the H2 channel yesterday about gun kills in Vietnam which explained the limitations of the SUU-16 and why the 23 replaced it. Very interesting. You could have back dated the one in kit to SUU -16. There isn't much difference. But too late now. Great job on the model. Didn't think there were many aerial gun kills in Vietnam. I'm aware of a few including a B-52 and in the main most of the kills were using missiles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stever219 Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 (edited) That's a nice looking Phantom, especially that cheeky piece of 4r5e-art. Thanks for the warning about the airbrake jacks: I have a 1/48th "J" in progress that is intended for 74 Squadron markings, as long as I can find a decent set of transfers. Unfortunately the Yellowhammer set that I have for ZE355 are apparently seriously flawed and my hand painting is pants.

Do I just need to get of the intake. I would be loathe to offer advice based on my viewing of a TV programme but certainly removing the intake would be part of it. The -16 was powered by ram air and could only be relied on above a certain airspeed and below another, a point one of the pilots interviewed felt it cost him a kill. The -23 was integrated into the weapon system. I'm sure a bit of strategic googling might turn up answers. I'm dangerously ignorant otherwise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howard Moon Posted October 23, 2016 Author Share Posted October 23, 2016 Thanks Noel, I will have a mooch around and see what I can find, which is what I should have done in the first place rather than ignore my mantra "build in haste,repent at leisure " 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
