dahut Posted January 25, 2008 Author Share Posted January 25, 2008 Don't go there David - F3 - the tag that never was. I know, I know, but it still stands in some circles. Im slowly grabbing up a photo collection of 74 Sq Spooks and on rare occasion I find one labeled that way. The nice thing about the 74 Sq. birds was the paint scheme - grey with black tail. Cant get much simpler. Now, to turn over the right rock and find sliders for it. Yellowhammer has a decal set that I know of and the Col. offered up a sacrifice along these lines, as well. Summat will come of it all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary West Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 I know, I know Incorrectly though David - look into my eyes, not around my eyes...the F4J (UK) was never the F3 in any circles. 3,2,1 back in the room Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dahut Posted January 26, 2008 Author Share Posted January 26, 2008 (edited) Easy there, mate! Minor mistake. Now I am duly chastised, and feeling the lash. Fair enough? Can't help, though, if others aren't as enlightened. And, so it goes(sigh). Just when you think you've learned a thing...

Mike V Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Happily there are comparitively few differences to take note of with the F-4 Phantom II, nothing like the seemingly myriad little differences with Bf-109s for example. Well, if you include all the variants of the F-4; from the B, FGR/FG, to the G, not to mention the QF-4s, there is quite a bit of differences between the lot. I do agree though, not as much as the 109 clan. Notably, the F-16 which I worked for quite a few years, there's even more variants than the F-4. A great thread BTW, as I’m not as up to speed on the RAF/RN F-4s, so thanks for all the good info guys. Mike V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennings Heilig Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Basically, the F-4K was a Spey-powered F-4J and the F-4M was a Spey-powered F-4C, so if you're brave enough to convert one, they would be your best starting point. First I've ever heard of that. From all I've ever read, the K and the M were virtually the same airplane, with the K's avionics being optimised for fleet defense and the M for air to ground. The C and the J were vastly different airplanes. J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
