I'm currently building a 1972 Viet Nam USMC F-4J (Da Nang) and this loadout was often seen: 2 X External wing fuel tanks 2 X AIM-7 sparrows (forward positions) 4 X AIM-9B sidewinder (2 each on the inboard wing pylons) 6 X Mk-82 centerline on MER (usually slick but sometimes snake-eye) 4 X CBU Rockeye (2 per inner wing pylon each mounted on TER, lower position left open) This is one of hundreds of possible loadouts, all depending on mission type, objective, threat, etc. Hope this helps Patrick

Well done!

In my opinion. one of Trumpy's better efforts as far as fit and accuracy. There's also plenty of aftermarket goodies out there to dress it up further. Patrick

I believe that is the ammo canister for the windscreen MG. Will have to look further to see how it is actually mounted.

Nice work, enjoying this thread. The ALQ pod on your introduction picture is not an ALQ-188...it's an ALQ-167. Hence the differences. Patrick

Also placed my order (# 11091) in September of last year...still waiting as you are. No shipping notice yet either. Patrick

Tim, This works for Autocad so there may be a crossover to Fusion. Autocad will provide any font that is in your current windows font library. You can download .ttf files from the internet and install them in the C:/Windows/Fonts folder. Once its in the windows font folder, you can add text in the desired font. I found several Kanji style .ttf files on line through free downloads...for example wFonts.com. I can now type out kanji characters using the keyboard...its just that kanji characters are often words, not letters. (good luck on hunting down the specific characters you need) Autocad has a feature to extrude text after a little manipulation but I am ignorant of Fusion's capability. Hope this helps. Patrick

Been slowly picking away at this one for years...perhaps I should get it done soon.

I'd like to participate in the raffle as well. My contribution: 2 Decal sheets Fox One 32-003 F-4J's in SE Asia Two Bobs 32-032 F-16C Aviano Vipers Thanks! Merry Christmas!

10 years ago I converted a Tam F-16C T-Bird kit using significantly modified Attic resin wings. (I was able to order just the wings back then) Basically the Attic wing is about 3/8" short in length...also removed the control surfaces for further upgrade. Fuselage was stretched using plastic card stock and vac-u-formed shapes to adjust the overall length and geometry. I'll see if I can dig up some more pics from my WIP that was posted on another site.

I used the old Revell part to make a more accurately shaped phantom nose...razor saw cut at the 12 oclock and 6 oclock position then added a plastic shim to match the width of the new phantom. Turns out the side profile is much better than the newer phantom. the length is a little short so another shim on the back edge will get you there.

Cyberhobby worked out great for me...a little extra work to help get the cowls to close nice and tight.

Please count me in! I'll donate a Cyber-Hobby (Wing Tech) Bf-110 E-2/Trop...sealed. Thanks Patrick

Absolutely yes!
