Grand Toad Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 (edited) Great example of an F-4S. This is what a friend of mine calls "technical art." Edited January 15, 2013 by Grand Toad Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cabo91 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Hello Elmo! Thanks for posting these.... here's the funniest thing about this (to me, anyway) I remember when I used to compete, you would be at the shows and you had this piece of an Hasegawa F4 you were working on and I remember looking at all the detail (I think it was the underside of a wing or something) and I thought...."MAN...I can't wait till this is finished!" I remember that it was a couple of years later that I got back involved in other stuff and was busy on weekends and after a while I wasn't in touch anymore. So I come back here and start building again (slowly) but see your posts on the A-6 and realize its you.... and then you show that F-4 and I'm like...."THAT'S IT!!!.....FINALLY!" So, thanks for posting the shots...its definitely worth the wait! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wardog Posted January 16, 2013 Author Share Posted January 16, 2013 (edited) Hey Steve, Yeah that was a long time ago. I wondered what had happened to you as one minute you were around and the next minute you were gone. I do have to remind you of something in case you forgot. You gave me a spare canopy so I could finish the build as I ruined the original so technically something of yours is on that F-4....LOL As far as the A-6 goes, I'll be moving this weekend so hopefully I'll make more progress soon as I'm starting to get withdrawl symptoms from the break. There should be a model show in Pasadena soon so try and make it and maybe we'll throw back a couple brews while we're at it.

Grand Toad Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 I keep studying the stabilator picture. I'd really like to do something similar on my Academy F-4B. The F-4B will be my first build in about 15 years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cap'n Chaos Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Absolutely PHANtastic!!! I reeeally like it and as a Phantom lover am inspired by it. I had a go at doing a fully deployed chute but never really got good results. Great Job! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I had a go at doing a fully deployed chute but never really got good results. Great Job! I imagine it would be a pain.......I thought about it but I didnt want to make an in motion display. Not sure what site I saw it on but someone made an F~4 with a deployed drag chute and it came out nice and he also gave full instructions on how he did it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
