Bill Cross Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 (edited) Here's the set-up so far: Tamiya F-4E kit Eduard multiple PE sets Eduard tires & ejection seat Sierra Hotel intakes, burner cans and "splitter" planes Master pitot tube, angle of attack probe, etc. Sky Decals IsraDecals RF-4E stencils Eduard canopy masks various paints Double Ugly Phantom book Vol. 1 (wish I'd ordered BOTH volumes) Now I need to find some CAM M117 bombs (at LEAST 2 sets). Can do a mix of M117s and M-82s (from the Tamiya kit). May do the Master M61 Gatling gun barrels, but unsure if they're going to be displayed and hence worth the $15 extra. Wish me luck, and maybe I'll get a mitzvah! Edited September 15, 2014 by Bill Cross andromeda673 and Girlscanplay2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thierry laurent Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Hi Bill, rather than the CAM M117, have a look at the AMS CBU bombs, you won't regret it and moreover they are available! Cheers Thierry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Cross Posted September 15, 2014 Author Share Posted September 15, 2014 Hi It will be an interesting built to follow , with all these goodies , she will turn into a master piece ....and what about the "tail art" ??? But , I wonder ........do you really like F 4???????? Thanks, Alain. Yes, the F-4 was THE iconic aircraft for me growing up (Vietnam and later Israeli Air Force). I'm divided right now between the "Knights of the Orange Tail" and "The Bats," but am waiting until I finish the Double Ugly book to see if one aircraft stands out over the other. The early Kurnass had little or no tail art, other than the squadron placard. Hi Bill, rather than the CAM M117, have a look at the AMS CBU bombs, you won't regret it and moreover they are available! Cheers Thierry Where can I get them? The CAM bombs are available from Sprue Brothers according to their website. Actually, combining the two on one load-out would be interesting, as both were used for SEAD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HTH Thierry Thanks, Thierry, I'd like to have both the M117s AND the CBUs if it works and is historically accurate (the CBUs were used to "degrade" SAM sights and were likely pretty hard on the personnel). your an F4 maniac, I dig that!!!!!!! plus it's a really cool subject, you don't see a lot of these get built. Thanks, not so much maniac and seriously unhinged. Spent over $200 so far on the upgrades, LOL. :m0152: :m0152: :m0152: :m0152: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loic Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Looking for this other Phantom of yours Bill ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Cross Posted September 16, 2014 Author Share Posted September 16, 2014 Looking for this other Phantom of yours Bill ! Thanks, Loic. Actually, other than the amount of $$$ I have sunk into this so far, it makes a lot of sense to build another Phantom and make use of the lessons I learned from the Vietnam build. I know, I know, I'm enabling myself.... :mental: Girlscanplay2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Youngtiger1 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 This is going to be cool. I have ne planned myself. Well, I have one of every Israeli Fighter jet if I have my way what can I say I'm a bug fan of those flyboys. Bill Cross 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andromeda673 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 next time you feel like dropping $200 on aftermarket goodies, give me a call, and I'll tell you where to make the check out too, and how to spell my name and address.
