[Bertie McBoatface]

I present for your inspection, one of 12 F-4B Phantoms which were modified to F-4G standard with a datalink system and experimental jungle camouflage. The F-4Gs served during 1966 with a series of carriers and squadrons cruising Yankee Station, flying missions over Vietnam. One aircraft failed to return.

 

 

The camouflage paint was not durable in the maritime environment.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The undersides were left in their original gloss paint.

 

 

Different aircraft, different date, different markings. The Datalink Dozen changed their appearance every time they were reassigned.

 

The camouflage experiment was not continued. The datalink system was not incorporated in the F-4 but went on to great success in the F-14 Tomcat.

Completed This Day

 

Please give some love to a Phantom F-4J of 74(F) Squadron RAF, all prettied up for the NATO Tiger Meet of 1988 (and carrying a little reminder of the squadron's eleven year association with the E E Lightning).

 

 

 

 

Is that supposed to be a tiger-skin rug?

 

 

Cockpit enhanced with Quinta 3D decals.

 

 

That's a de Havilland Firestreak missile on the stbd inboard pylon. The Lightning's heat seeking missile.

 

 

Even tidied up for a party, a Phantom oozes.

 

 

And yes, you can just glimpse the engine face deep inside the intake.

Here's my 1/72 Finemolds F-4C. I used the kit decals, added some weapons from a Finemolds weapons set. Painted with MRP and some Tamiya and Vallejo. A fun build to do.

 

 

 

 

 

And with my previous FM kit

 

 

Thanks for looking, I hope you like it.

Phantom FGR2, XV499, 41 Squadron RAF Coningsby, 1976.

This is the 1/72nd Fujumi kit with the EMI reconnaissance pod from the Airfix kit and a photoflash pod  modified from one of the kit wing tanks. The aircraft is modelled from the machine shown in an RAF training film, 'Oversight'. During the course of filming there seemed to be some changes in aircraft markings in terms of zaps and a possible change in underwing serial position.  WIP thread is here:

 

The white outlined 'O' is a temporary fix until I can find something a bit better.

Thanks to Dave for hosting this group and Enzo for the oversight.

"Semper Aggressus" - 23 Squadron Phantom FGR2 of Wattisham late 1970s:

 

 

 

 

 

Revell kit, Mr. Paints, Eduard cockpit and seat belt etch (plus a few placards), Meng Sidewinders (there would have been 4 but I managed to "ping" one of the fins into the carpet monster's hungry mouth) and Flightpath ladder.

 

I'm finishing another 23 Sqn FGR2 in KUTA (ADV Grey with RWR & ILS) and could also build an original tail version in ADV grey and an RWR/ILS camouflage version from the stash.

Better late than never but here's the Kurnass built!

 

Thanks to everyone for probably the highest quality GB I've ever been in. The Phantom is a truly iconic, once-in-a-generation aircraft and you did it proud!
