Hi guys,

Thanks to all of you for the vivid debate about RAF Phantom´s radome hinging!!!

Looking for more information about this issue, I've found this picture in an spanish aviation magazine from the '80s that came to my hands here in Buenos Aires. I scanned it and uploaded in the following link:

Although it seems to be an F-4J UK Phantom, I think the radome hinging system should be the same for FG1 and FGR2 too.

Regards,

Sebastian

Excellent photo Sebastian - the whole unit appears as if its been brought forward (on the rails mentioned earlier?). Judging from all of the replies here I'd say that the F4J fit was indeed similar to the fit on the FGR2 - but not necessarily on the FG1, as it appears (again from the replies above) that the radar dish ALSO hinged - to save space on HMS Ark Royal. So, as you're building an FGR2, you SHOULD be okay..........
