I see they didn’t include a rear instrument panel and WSO’s right console with the displays and keypad for an ARN-101 jet. @JeffreyK, perhaps you could release those parts from your excellent slat conversion set. I think the Z-M LORAN doghouse might be a bit too short or wide. It looks odd.

Thanks for posting the photo, @Miramar Road!

To do the F-4E with the kit markings,you'll need to add the AVTR unit in the front cockpit on the right side panel,I can't vouch for later FY71 and beyond jets but every ANG jet I crewed or took care of had it.

IIRC Black Box/True Details F-4E set had it and the Eduard F-4G set for the Hasegawa kit had it that looks like a bunch of fun trying to fold it into the box it is.

The F-4E's transferred to Greece,Turkey and the 20th FS(German AF) at George/Holloman AFB would have the AVTR plus the NWDS mod in the rear cockpit on the right side panel.

Oh yeah, I'd forgotten about the AVTR box! I robbed one out of a TD set for my current Z-M F-4E build using the Hypersonic conversion. Speaking of which, if one doesn't want to go to the hassle of sanding off the belly strap and is considering buying and modifying the lower wing from the early version, it would probably cost less to just get the early E kit and add the Hypersonic slat conversion to it. Then you'd get the ARN-101 cockpit parts, a very nice TISEO, and it's all plug n play as if they were kit parts.
