Gene K Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 (edited) Beautiful workmanship!! Looking forward to the RFI. As an aside, I don't know about Spanish Phantoms, but most F-4s had black on the inside of the canopy frames, and the photoflash opening and doors were red (flash tray and flares were silver).

FortyEighter Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 I like the overall weathered look and your seats look the part in the open cockpit. Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gene K thanks... regarding the canopy, you are probably right and I should change that.... later---- regarding the photoflash opening doors: I was searching hard fro any references, especially Spanish ones... without success. I only saw one video with a flyby with open photoflash doors.... those looked grey to me... as everything in this vid! ..... so not sure actually 10 minutes ago, Nikolay Polyakov said: Excellent job, Werner! 😉 The seats looks very busy with a details.

Here's one for you: And here's how one modeler did his: Certain doors and compartments that required crew/maintenance attention were the same red color an all Phantom variants, for example the doors and interior of the photoflash compartment and the RAT compartment. Additionally certain door interiors were the same red, for example, speed brakes and Aux Air Doors. I doubt that the the Spanish Phantoms would not adhere to this factory standard.

I found a similar photo of a USAF Rf-4, but as stated above, no Spanish one.... only the bad video.... and I stopped using models as reference... when building more obscure stuff, especially Sovuet etc, ones own research is a MUST also leads to mistakes though will repaint it accordingly some day!
