Phantom. . Tail sitter?

[Darth Vader]

I'm building revells 1:32 phantom f4f and there's no mention of nose weight.

Is the phantom a tail sitter  ?

Thanks in advance

Any F-4 kit that I have built didn't require any weight in the nose, regardless of scale.

I have or had 5 of these beasts. Nary a tailsitter yet.

Yeah, its not even close, you can't tilt a Phantom II back on its tail and have it stay that way. On a flat surface, anyway, I can't guarantee what would occur if you did it on a surface tilted at a 45 degree angle.

Brilliant that's the info I needed. Thank you and a happy New year to you both.

For informational purposes, besides the F-4 Phantom, both the F-18 Hornet and the F-104 Starfighter will NOT require any nose weight.  I did think it was rather interesting, maybe more a sign of who produced the instruction sheet, but the Xtrakit Sea Harrier FA. 2 instructions say that nose weight is required although I have no idea why since I have yet to come across any variant that needed any nose weights.

Later,
