KingTiger435 Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 this was another on-and-off project but one of my best if I do say so myself. Without further ado, here she is: I really enjoyed making this model in the end, there were sooooo many stencils though! I'm definitely taking this one to Scale Scotland 2022!

kapam Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 Looks great! Well done! 👍👍 Can someone tell me - the nose leg extension was a Navy innovation to assist take-off lift - is that correct? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done! 👍👍 Can someone tell me - the nose leg extension was a Navy innovation to assist take-off lift - is that correct? Thank you! Yes, the nose extension was made for navy phantoms. American ones also had a similar system on their nose gear but smaller. FAA phantoms needed it because their carriers were too small for phantom CATOBAR without other assistance such as a greater angle of attack (this is why when the buccaneer is launched it lifts its nose in the air) I hope this helped 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
