Antti_K Posted August 4, 2016 Author Share Posted August 4, 2016 Thank You Dan, giemme and Jay The intakes were quite a challenge indeed. I'm also building a Revell 1/32 scale F-4F using exactly same technique. I like working with Milliput because you can use water to make very smooth surfaces and you can work as long as you like. Just keep the surface wet. BR, Antti 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kapam Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 What a beautiful Phantom! I always liked that "nose high" stance - correct me if I am wrong, but it seems to be something unique to RN Phantoms. Presumably it is some sort of aid to getting lift during a catapult takeoff, although I may be way off the mark. 😬 You have clearly lavished a lot of skill and dedication on your model and it certainly shows. Congratulations on a very excellent result! 👍👍👍👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jean Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 Hi Antti, gorgeous Phantom, superbly built and even more impressive knowing you brush painted it. Knowing how tricky Humbrol 34 is to paint, super well done! Congrats on a top model. JR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congratulations on a very excellent result! 👍👍👍👍 Thank You kapam🙂 You are right: the nose gear was extended for carrier take offs to create more lift at lower air speeds. British Phantoms had to operate out of smaller flight decks than their USN cousins. Therefore the FG.1 had a "double" extension feature raising the nose higher than in standard F-4Bs and F-4Js.
