Bigasshammm Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Having no phantoms I'd have to get one. Not sure what I'd do. Would have to be something weird. I'm sure I can find someone willing to sell me a phantom before then. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bashace Posted August 26, 2012 Author Share Posted August 26, 2012 Build the Phantom that they slam into the wall at high speed: F-4 PHANTOM CRASH TEST - 1988 - SANDIA NATL LABS - 2 The purpose of the test was to determine the impact force, versus time, due to the impact, of a complete F-4 Phantom -- including both engines -- onto a massive, essentially rigid reinforced concrete target (3.66 meters thick). Previous tests used F-4 engines at similar speeds. The test was not intended to demonstrate the performance (survivability) of any particular type of concrete structure to aircraft impact. The impact occurred at the nominal velocity of 215 meters per second (about 480 mph). The mass of the jet fuel was simulated by water; the effects of fire following such a collision was not a part of the test. The test established that the major impact force was from the engines. The test was performed by Sandia National Laboratories under terms of a contract with the Muto Institute of Structural Mechanics, Inc., of Tokyo. That would be an odd duck to model!

Bigasshammm Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 (edited) What'd it look like though. Would be a cool duo with a sled, rails, ad concrete slab at the end. Interesting Never mind just watched the video. Boring paint scheme but cool video! No more F4. Edited August 26, 2012 by Bigasshammm Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scapilot Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 I for the basic RM F-4C. only.one I have in my kit. May find some replacement decals and hop in. I'm in the middle of a pretty large commision build right now. But.it would be a good break. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yardbird78 Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 I have a whole stack of 1/72 and 1/48 Phantoms in the stash, so I would definately be up for this GB, if my health holds out. I am scheduled for abdominal surgery next week and will probably need at least one more after that. Darwin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
viper730 Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 (edited) I am just about ready to start 2 USS Midway Phantoms so YES I am in for a Group Build... Edited August 26, 2012 by viper730 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mustanger Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 (edited) Do you have a pile of Phantoms stacking up waiting for that magic moment to build one, now's the time to act. Looking to start the "Phantom Addicts Annonymous" Group Build some time in the spring, sure it seems like a long way off, but true Phantom builders may feel a little pressure for prep time. Let's here it if you feel up to the task! I'm in. I've only done four, and it's time for another. How do I sign up? Edited August 26, 2012 by mustanger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liberator24 Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Did Duke's bird when I was a kid...Im in.... I will do one with my IPMS decals.... -Jim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
B-1 Nut Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 I haven't participated in a group build in 15 forevers.....methinks the last was Viper Group Build 2.0. I'm game for a group build. I've never built a Phantom, but have three 1/48 RF-4Cs and a 1/48 F-4G in the stash begging to be built. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 bashace, looks like the interest is there, would you like to be the moderator? (some of the prizes sound like MY dreams come true!!!!!!!) I would guess a start at the beginning of the year would be a good suggestion. If you need help moderating, I can........help. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bashace Posted August 27, 2012 Author Share Posted August 27, 2012 I don't know how we could have an F-4 Phantom group build without having Phantom on the team, also wouldn't hurt to have someone with GB Moderator XP. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Right, I will put in the GB request to the other moderators. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sebastijan Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Given the fact I probably won't be able to build all IRIAF Phantoms I want to for Iran-Iraq GB, I might build one for Phantom GB... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kingoalie Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 I voted yes. I think this would give me the motivation to build at least one German F-4 in 1/72nd! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bashace Posted August 28, 2012 Author Share Posted August 28, 2012 That was ME. im dead broke these days and dont have an F-4 and the no is there for a reason ll be waiting for you near the bicicle rack at resess So, does this mean that if an F-4 kit showed up in the mail you would join the build?
