What's wrong with this picture?

an RF Phantom nose mated with the fuselage of a Spey Engined FG® Phantom. Have you been talking to Hatchet by any chance Jennings?

The panel lines are wrong, the nose is completely the wrong shape, and the MGA252 antenna doohickey crank whistle isn't even represented!

It isn't from Trumpeter by any chance?

I hate being picky about other people's fun - so this isn't being picky!

But I have to comment that the vertical camo stripe sorta destroys the line of the

RF nose to the detriment of the idea behind it.

Now if it was one of those big F-4E(S) recce noses carrying a H1AC camera worthy of two Speys

I'd wager the proportions would look a lot better, imho.

Something Ive been pondering all day, as this is a RF4 it would have been allocated within one the RAF's PR Squadrons, so you would need the markings of the following:

13, 17, 31,39, 58, 69,80, 81,82, 214,527, 540, 542.

Just a thought, but as its a Phantom Im normally wrong :rofl:

Got it!!! Yep, just worked it out. The number of holes in the intake splitter plate is totally wrong!

Come on, it's so obvious, everyone here should have noticed that! :rolleyes:

You've been sniffing glue again haven't you? :-)

Yup, it's tail heavy.

That's sorta what I was getting at in suggesting the F-4E(S) big camera nose.

Which might look a bit like that below....

Apologies Jennings - not trying to steal any of your joy!

Honest!
