blackbetty Posted March 30, 2010 Author Share Posted March 30, 2010 thanx dave i have been kinda stuck with the decals, these twobobs offerings are quite brittle, especially the red stripe that runs over the back fuselage. it started desintegrating while still on paper still have to touch up some spots with the airbrush i also mounted the snakeeyes to the MER and now am trying to figure out how the mate them to the pylon. make note to self: next time join rack and pylon first not much to show, but i think i will be able to finish it this time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackbetty Posted April 1, 2010 Author Share Posted April 1, 2010 the pylons are only a trial fit, looks cool, eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbetty Posted April 1, 2010 Author Share Posted April 1, 2010 slightly too cool now i know why i have never seen a 3000pounder on the outer wing stations : it interferes with the flaps, so this is a no go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbetty Posted April 1, 2010 Author Share Posted April 1, 2010 back to plan A, a 2000lb bomb this is the raw thing: modified fin from an M-117, body from a 2000lb LGB and a pointy thing that will be the nose. fuseextender will be mounted after final shaping more to come...

Barry Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 slightly too cool now i know why i have never seen a 3000pounder on the outer wing stations : it interferes with the flaps, so this is a no go Karl, Your bird is starting to look like Ol Double Ugly. I like the shark mouth. According to the F4-1 External Stores Limitations tables the: The M118 3000lb unit was carried on the C/L station 5 only. I do not see where this weapon was allowed on any other station. The Mk84 2000lb could be loaded on O/B stations 1 and 9 and C/L station 5. The Mk84 fitted with a guided bomb uint package could be loaded on stations 1, 2, 8 and 9 Restriction was 4 per load. The M118 fitted with a guided bomb uint package could be loaded on stations 2 and 8 Restriction was only 2 per load. Possible note of interest the USAF F-4 Ailerons (outboard control surface) did not function as "drooped" flaps like the USN versions. The Ailerons would displace from neutral +1 degree to -30 degrees. Barry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbetty Posted June 22, 2010 Author Share Posted June 22, 2010 i completely forgot i had another buildthread going during drying time of hunter parts i wondered why that F-4 was sitting on the workbench...then i remembered thanx for the info barry after taking a look what was still to do i stuck in the exhausts, after getting rid of some material that was in the way inside of the fuselage (remember the revell exhausts are a lot shorter than the CAM ones) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbetty Posted June 22, 2010 Author Share Posted June 22, 2010 then i began to apply the decals, and yes the one on the intake is placed wrong sorry for the bad pics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbetty Posted June 22, 2010 Author Share Posted June 22, 2010 the weapons and pylons are ready to be hung on the plane, only the mk 84 bomb has to be painted first i have still not decided if i should use the sparrows. the loadout looks like something that would be used in southern vietnam (just one fuel tank), so the mig threat was very low and the missiles are not really necessary still have to put some more decals on and weather it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
