Massimo Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Hi Giorgio, I went through this model's WIP and let me say it's really stunning! Starting from the purpose for this build, going on with Gene's intervention to tell this aircraft story, you did a fantastic job putting together different parts from the two models you started from. Impressive result!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My radar keeps coming back to this build so I can appreciate it over, and over ... . Pretty remarkable what Giorgio did artistically as well as technically. I'm really looking forward to his next Phantom build ... which I think will be the new FineMolds 1/72 kit. Gene K 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

72modeler Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 What the others have said just about covers it, but I will add this is the most realistically painted and weathered F-4 I have seen in a long time! The Monogram Rhinos were light years ahead of their competition when it came to detailing, and even though it has raised panel lines, they are probably the most accurate of any F-4C/D kit out there! You have every right to be proud of this build, and what a great tribute model! ( I assume the bang seats have the safety pins secured in the little pouch on the headbox?)

f111guru Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 WOW simply wow. Sorry I missed this one from the beginning. I don't know how many time I've loaded that configuration and other loads with the SUU-23 on the F-4D Temporary Duty to Udorn Thailand from July to November 1972. Was assigned to the 405th MMS 405th TFW 523rd TFS Clark AFB from June 1972 to September 1973. Other ordance carried with the SUU-23 was MK-20 Rockeye, MK-82 Low Drag, MK-84 2000lbs, LGB or GBU-10 as in our world today. and M-117 750lbs. There was a couple of times our phantoms flew with 4 AIM-7E and 4 AIM-9 missiles. Again WOW Ron VanDerwarker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since you loaded that configuration a countless number of time , I was wondering if you remember if that famous SUU-23 ( or maybe SUU-16 ) had an " open " compartment located as follows ( green lines ) .

Rgds http:// The only opening I recall was the 20mm loading slot back about where the bend is on your arrow. It was set near vertical for the ammo. Found this in my D phantom folder. The other things you may be thinking of are vents for venting gas and smoke. Found on the web Unit serial number is in white and the remainder are in black red and tail. Also remember that during my time with the F-4 the gun pod had a shortened rear covering to install on stations 2 and 8 or inboard pylons. I went from the F-4 to B-52's the FB-111's and the F-4/F-111 RAF Lakenheath then Cannon AFB. Hope this clears things up and sorry @giemmefor hijacking your beautiful F-4C build.

Only problem with retirement. You can take away the job but not the memories. Good, bad and some extremely ugly.
