RKic Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Right then. Time to stop talking and start doing. I'm building Hasegawa from the same boxing as Shawn and Eric showed in other threads. It is the jg 73 bird in blue with the yellow silhouettes. I still haven't decided what markings I'll use, but probably not those. I did some preliminary work earlier today. Glued the tanks and the boarding ladder. I had some yellow orange loaded up in my airbrush, so it felt like a good time to get it out of the way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Crazy Snap Captain Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Phantoms! Phantoms everywhere! Love it. Looking forward to your build! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RKic Posted March 15, 2017 Author Share Posted March 15, 2017 Thanks, guys. Got going on the cockpit. Still plenty to do. Here are the resin rocket chairs I want to use. I think I'll wire up a bit of the rear instrument panel just to make the area between the seats look a little bit busy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tobiK Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Nice seats! Always worth the little extra money because almost ever better than OOB. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RKic Posted March 16, 2017 Author Share Posted March 16, 2017 yeah, I got a really good deal for them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mingwin Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 which brand are those seats?(True details, black box?) just curious...they look comfortable weren't seatbelts of a different color on german phantoms? (like on the spey ones... but couldn't tell where i got this information) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RKic Posted March 19, 2017 Author Share Posted March 19, 2017 Hi Mingwin The seats are True details. A little more work. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RKic Posted March 26, 2017 Author Share Posted March 26, 2017 A bit of cabling in the in-between space. Not accurate, just intended to make the area look busy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RKic Posted March 28, 2017 Author Share Posted March 28, 2017 Besides sidewinders, did Luftwaffe F-4Fs ever carry other weapons? Bombs of some kind? I don't think I've ever seen a photo of one with weapons. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tobiK Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Of course!! You info is right about the first F-4F from the fighter sqns: they were not fitted for Sparrow. But the fighter-bomber sqns. also had the F-4F and so bombs, cluster bombs, firebombs were used. Later the F-4F got an upgrade to ICE Standard and some of them were also AMRAAM AIM-120 capable. At least WTD 61 made tests with Maverick AGM 65 B, guided bombs, IRIS-T missileBAP 100/80 anti-runway bombs, the fench DURANDAL,... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
