jgrease Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 I have the Revell F-4E boxing and I am thinking of starting this project, and the one thing I'm missing is those doors on the lower fuselage that droop open on the ground - I believe they have something to do with the engines? Sorry about my seeming lack of knowledge as to what they are, but I know they belong there. Does anyone know if these are available anywhere? I know someone used to make them but my link was dead.

LSP_K2 Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 The Squadron/Signal book on the F-4E, covers these doors and internal equipment to a good degree, as do several other publications. Scratch building them would be fairly simple. jgrease 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John FYI John, those are Auxillary air doors which open to provide additional cooling air when running on the ground. The Spey birds have them on the upper aft fuselage.
