    RF-4C/E

    Hello!

    Bulding a Hase F-4G is very nice...Now I would like to tackle an F-4C in 1:48 scale. I do not find an hasegawa set though...only for F-4E or D...what is the difference, I know the E is for export, but is it possible to build a C from the D or E?

    Good morning Gents...

    Been chipping away at the Phantom, will add pictures later today..

    I have a Question...what kind of antennas is on the back of a bird from 1990 who hasnt got the "Doghouse" on the back?

    Afterburner shows them devoid of any antenna...but that does not seem to match the pictures I see on the net..in the book.. so I got a little doubtful..

    Thanx for any help!

    Really liking it Jake!! When will the book for the Warthog and the Strike Eagle be available again? I need MOOOOORE!!!! heheh

    Thanks for your comment Phil, I aim to please...hehe here is some more photos!

    Got the True Details intakes yesterday.... they would be easier to fit if the fuselage was not already glued together!! But after a few hours I made it.

    I have let the putty cure overnight and have been sanding away this morning...

    Fitting is not to bad I think... but will be rubbing some more and have to rescribe a few lines..

    messed up the white paint due to the cold weather...did not notice really before I had glued them down. So...FOD covers it is...

    Hello Neo! Thanx for your kind words!

    Yes In norway we do get bills even on saturdays....no rest for the wicked!!

    I use the little "box-cutter" knife to cut back and forth for a long time, then on the "sides" of the aileron I use a razor saw to cut all the way in. Then i use the little knife again on the place where the razor-saw doesn't fit, until the piece falls off almost by itself... It takes a long time but it works!

    I can take a picture of the razor saw if you are interested?

    Cheers

    Now the cockpit is in the fuselage and the fuselage is safely glued together...

    Time to start with the wings!!

    This arrived in the mail!

    for the inboard pylon Hasegawa has "kindly" made Anti-sway braces for us...

    antiswayintack.jpg

    But they do not fit the True Detail pylon..and is supposedly wrong in shape/size as well...bye bye!

    I have seen many pictures of the Phantom with its aileron dropped...

    So I decided to try something similar...

    Tomorrow I will put PE in the main wheel bays!!

    Thank you Scot!!

    Here is where I am at...

    I had the Quickboost seats for the Phantom, but since this build was planned so that I could get more training with PE I decided to give the Aires seats that accompanied the cockpit a try...

    Photo-Etch is difficult! But I learned a lot and now have even more respect for the guys who expert in this media...WOW... I did nont exactly nail it but it will do...

    The seats are not glued in yet, there is some locking handles that will come in...but not untill the masking tape will be off the pit! Now...time to gett the fuselage together...with the pit in it...pheeew

    I am building an F-4G, and I would really like to have 4 AGM-88's on it...Does anyone have a couple of Tamiya HARM's they are willing to separate with? I will pay for them of course!

    Thank you all for watching! Jake, You are probably right... I have used many hours trying to find good references online, but still the Aires pit is not exact button by button...have tried to fix a few things like the undercarriage lever now. I am now gluing it into the plane as I have used almost three weeks on the pit alone. I will try to find some books to improve on my next Phantom pit..

    Neo, after this picture i sanded the rear end of the pit just a little bit more, and then it fitted nicely!

    So, let's get the lump into the fuuuuselage!!

    Okey

    Just finished my F-86F of the Norwegian Airforce. So it is time to do something different. For 20 years I have wanted to do this kit, so with no inspiration to finish my two remaining Israelis, I started in earnest...

    DSC_0062.jpg

    I should have enough work here...As I am not very familiar with resin and PE I figured this would be a great opportunity!

    DSC_0002-3.jpg

    I had some trouble fitting the pit vertically...but it all came toghether with a little violence...(and sanding)
