I have the books about German Phantoms but they don't share any light on this. Cheers, Antti I'm hoping to butcher it into an RAF gun pod if it has no use for an RAF Toom and if it's big enough.

hoppie Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 I didn't have the time to go through the entire thread, so apologies if this has been posted already. http://soyuyo.main.jp/f4/f4e-1.html This is a link to Jumpei Temmas amazing Phantom drawings. Various versions including the fg.1, crossections and everything. That guy is a true master. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthony in NZ Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 I will do a proper WIP sometime soon. Just got to add the ILs blade antennas to the fin and it is done. This fin modification with revised panels and rivets etc was a bigger job than thought it would be!

Cees Broere Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Hi all, I am on the homestretch with the FGR-2 but having some problems sourcing decals or info. Does anyone have a good photograph or sketch showing the wingwalkways? I believe they outlined in yellow with red short lines alongside? Thanks in advance.

John I don't suppose there's any chance that you have the other sheet of these, or better yet, anything similar for the recce pod? Both of them would probably prove extremely useful!

Thanks Sorry no, the recce pod is a bit of a holy grail, it must have had it's own AP which as yet I've not seen, if I ever do get my hands on one I'll be posting as much as I can.

Flanker37 Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Why has the british variant not been covered after all this time, not even any official conversions by anyone? And yet, so many US variants 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ossington 2 Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Lack of potential sales I think. Maybe a Japanese or Israeli modeller would be less inclined to buy what is a special-to-country variant, though we British modellers are happy to model JSDF/IAF if the interweb and decal adverts are anything to go by. Personally, I want a 1/32nd RF-4B. How many were built? From the top of my head, about 30. And all for the USMC. Even more specialised, so I don't expect ever to get one.

Antti_K Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Still waiting for news about the HK Models' 1/32 scale British Phantom... That RF-4B would be interesting too. Cheers, Antti 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until then we gotta hack plastic! Cheers Anthony 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canberra kid Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Some more nice drawings from those clever chaps at McD's John 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antti_K Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Excellent pictures John! Thank you for sharing them🙂 Now there aren't any more excuses not to start my 1/48 scale FGR.2 build. I was struggling with those Fuselage Station and Wing Station drawings. The more I looked at them, the more confused I got. But now we are able to cut some cardboard cross sections... On the other hand, I just received my Special Hobby 1/32 scale Westland Whirlwind and I feel very tempted to start that build😉 Cheers, Antti 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
