Holy s***, Janne! A real beauty you have got here :wub: Greetings Diego

Great work on this jet, Daniel! :wub: Can't wait to see more Greetings Diego

Sweet as always, Shawn :wub: ;) Thanks for posting them!

The new Turkish AF F-4E/F-4ETM/ RF-4ETM are already available in Canada, a.o. from AIRCONNECTION and FLIGHTDECS. Greetings Diego

Great job on these THK birds :wub: ...as always Greetings Diego

Wow! Simply astonishing job, Janne! Splendid Aluminium finish on this hard working interceptor! This MiG-19PM has also an interesting story - she served in the LSK/NVA with the code 335 painted with Soviet fonts (the black outlined red code was applied in a Soviet unit before the handover of the aircraft to the East German AF). After retirement from active service, red 335 was placed on a concrete pylon as a gate guard (still with SovAF style codes). Few years later, she was transferred to the "Traditionslinie Bautzen" Museum, where she got a spurious camouflage scheme (LSK/NVA MIG-19s never

The Turkish AF F-4E/F-4ETM/RF-4ETM Phantoms are already available, The F-4C/D "ANG Grey Ghosts" should normally be released in June. In Europe, you can order these online a.o. from Hannants, Aviation Megastore, etc... or directly. Greetings Diego

A great and colorful selection, Kursad! :wub: Greetings Diego

As our Turkish AF F-4E/ETM/RF-4ETM sheet is hitting the shops, it's slowly time to announce our next release. We will continue to work on the Phantom II theme, this time with the long awaited: HD 48030 & HD 72060 "Grey Guardians: F-4C/D Phantom IIs in the Air National Guard" This sheet has been announced since a longer time, but a deep and time consuming research was necessary to obtain the desired results :rolleyes:/> It will contain markings for six ANG "short nosed" Phantoms wearing the Hill One and Hill Two schemes, serving in the Air National Guard: * 114th TFTS,142nd FIG, O

Here a shot of one of the "slatted" RF-4ETMs from 173 Filo in flight - the LES can be seen very well: photo Turkish Air Force Greetings Diego

Great to hear you found a solution for the slats!!! :thumbsup:/> In 1/72, Hasegawa F-4s external wing elements are separate pieces,so you can easily change these. In 1/48 scale the things are indeed different... Re LOROP pod: the pod and his pylon are semi gloss white. Greetings Diego

Unfortunately not yet, but we should get the respective order from Squadron very soon. Greetings Diego

Well, it was one of 8 new build RF-4Es for Turkey equipped with LES, a "rounded" nose, and wired for AIM-9s. A similar number of RF-4Es in the same configuration was also build for Greece. In fact these Phantoms these were the last recce RF-4Es to leave the McDonnell production line. It's not possible to replace the external wing panels? Anyway, with our without LES, it will surely be an eyecatcher :woot.gif:/>

Sweet! Can't wait to see it ready BTW - please remember that this RF-4E had LES equipped wings (i.e like late F-4Es) Greetings Diego

No hay de que, Eli - Es siempre un placer! :D Diego

They are also on the workbench. The sheet covers 3 Egyptian AF birds in different schemes ( and there will be some nice surprises here B)/>) as well as the NJ ANG CO bird.

Exactly! The 1/48 RF-4EJ kit includes the LOROP pod as injected parts Unfortunately, the 1/72 scale addicts are not so lucky, as Hasegawa's 1/72 RF-4EJ boxing only includes the other JASDF recce pod in resin, but not the LOROP one...

Hello Daniel, Thank you for your kind comments! I am glad to hear you like the new sheet! Thank you also for the shots of the LOROP pod you posted! The THK bird on the last one is 77-0314 or 77-0316 in the older SEA camo, as only these two airframes were wired for this recce pod Greetings Diego

Hola Eli, The 2 THK F-4Es covered on the decal set are pretty standard ex ANG birds, The F-4ETM is also pretty "standard" the differences being mostly on the "electronic" side. The most important difference from the modelling point of wiew would be the black blade antenna on the fuselage. The AIM-7 capability has been deleted, so they are armed with AIM-9 only. The RF-4ETM is the most "complicated" as you need a RF-4C/E fuselage (long RF-4E exhausts & rounded nose) as well as F-4E "slatted" wings + blade antenna (+ LOROP pod & AIM-9 rails). Un fuerte abrazo Diego

Then it would be a pleasure to sponsor the GB raffle with 5 free Hi-Decal sheets Greetings Diego
