A little OT - just out of curiousity - what do You plan to do with Hase' awfully thick vertical stabilizer?

Thx!

Utlimately, one thing remain unclear though 😉 - how to distinguish thin and thick wing? I spent a bit of time looking at B and J model pictures, and I guess age must have made me blind, because I unable to tell the difference - don't get me wrong, I don't argue with the existence of different types of F-4 wings. I just would like learn how to easily recognise which is which. This skill may be useful, since there was a little bit of mess about wings among the types. Edit: Is it about those bulges on J and other later models wings?

Thanks Guys, now it's all clear to me.

For some reason I missed the fact Hase included both styles of camera cover/fairing pieces. That explains everything, and in the meantime I figured out that basically the shape of the nose section is the same for all RF models, but only camera fairing differs, and I was not aware of this. I thought it's more than that. As for the wings - so both aircraft depicted in posted links have thin version? I am not exactly F-4 expert and I can't tell the difference between thin and thick wing at the first glance.

Hi there :). So, here is the deal - I fell in love with UMSC late RF-4Bs, as pictured below here https://ibb.co/rmZcC2b or here https://ibb.co/gvKn6sD and https://ibb.co/8KR1Y8C - unfortunately BuNo of first one is blurred but seems to be 151975, second clearly 153108. They both pictured with longer ACs, so they must be after so called SURE upgrade. My initial plan was to implement Hase's RF-4B nose section into Tamiya's F-4B, or to make 3D model of the one and print it, but after some research I ended up in confusion. According to MCARA website, last twelve recce Phantoms was built

Nice. How did You make canopy tint? And those stretched skin effects - selfmade?

Some link, would You mind?

Thanks for Your feedback 🙂 . What You wrote confirms my further research I did meanwhile. This rain repellent thing seems to be some custom modification which was not common for the airframe. That's what I,m gonna do in there - nothing 😉 .

Is this a teaser of some sort? If so, You better deliver something up to anticipation mood You've created 😉

OK, kind people - it is first time I do this, because internet research failed to answer my question. And the question is what is installed on the rear wall of A-4M cockpit, on the right side, from the seat perspective. One of pictures available on ARCAIR shows the example, where this area is actually empty, but some gentleman from some Facebook modeling groups shared a picture with me, and it shows rain repellent fluid tank, which seem to be mounted near seat's firing pin sear. Unfortunately the picture is badly cropped and it main content is a label on this tank - how it is mounted,

Thank You so much, good Sir! 😉

Can anyone help with link to some japanese blog devoted to F-4 and its model kits? I remember there were nice comparison between kits, and I'm specifically after the picture showing difference between ZM and Tamiya canopy outline... Anyone? I can't google out bloody thing no matter what...

Because they never have... These are what-if builds. Very nice, BTW 🙂

I think it should be noted, that many of pictures of this beauty in this thread, are no longer visible... 😞
