Grey Ghost 531 Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Wow, impressive work. However...All the pictures in the Ginter book show gray under the leading edge slats, not red. Also, the radar package wasn't interior green, it was mostly bare aluminum, steel and black. There's a picture of the extended radar package in the Ginter book too. It looks very similar to the follow on version of that radar set which was carried in the F-4B/C/D/N series. The framework inside the barrel of the nose that housed the radar was interior green, but everything else, including the rail it slid out on, was bare metal or painted black. The radar reflector (dish) was painted gloss blue. Personally, I'd tone down the panel lines too. The aircraft were pretty smooth and uniform gray/white in real life. Even gate guards that have been out in the weather for 40 years don't show that much panel line darkening. That's a personal style issue though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Honza K. Posted May 16, 2012 Author Share Posted May 16, 2012 Hello, I am waiting for masks for insigniat etc.... Grey Ghost: I know I know..... radar... it´s first color on it. I can´t airbrush radar to silver and after that space behind him. I have only this photo for this part.... With red color under slots you are right... My mistake... I color it automaticly red, like on other navy birds.... And finaly about shades on grey.... it will go little bit down after wash... but I don´t want have grey cake in my showcase. many thanks for all comments. H Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Grey Ghost 531 Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Hello, I am waiting for masks for insigniat etc.... Grey Ghost: I know I know..... radar... it´s first color on it. I can´t airbrush radar to silver and after that space behind him. I have only this photo for this part.... I'm very much looking forward to seeing the finished model. If you need more pictures of the radar package, you can use any picture of the radar on F-4B/C/D or N, they look almost exactly the same. It's the APQ-72/APA-170 in the F-4N, I used to work on that radar. *****WARNING - BORING TECHNICAL STUFF******* In the picture you have, the section that's swung down on its support cable is the "synchronizer", it has all the intermediat frequency receiver circuits and handles all of the timing involved in getting the range information. The section behind it is the power supply, you can see the tops of all the big vacuum tubes. It also has the circuits (synchos and servos) that stabilize the antenna and figures out the elevation and azimuth information of the target. Behind that is the "missile intercept computer". Completely analog. It mostly used relays and resistor networks. The other side of the rack had the transmitter which also had the high frequency receiver stuff in it and behind that was the CW (continuous wave) transmitter that guided the sparrow missiles. The rack in the middle contained an oil to air heat exchanger that cooled the CW transmitter. The oil in that thing was awful stuff, it's probably illegal now. We used to get it all over ourselves when we were purging air from the system; I'm probably going to start growing extra appendages any time now. There were also a couple of other boxes scattered around the rest of the airframe, missile tuners, antennae, a modulator for the CW transmitter and the 'scopes and their support and control boxes. We also were responsible for the missile firing relay panels. Somehow those became my burden in the shop. It must have been my modeling-trained fingers. I seemed to get a lot of the wiring issues when the space was tight and the parts were small. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
