Very well done for an aged bird, used but not abused.

Splendid work!
 
Had you considered making it RC; then you could take it out for a turn on the pond.

Sapper,
 
You can find some pics of a 1/32 Phantom cockpit showing common details located on the aft bulkheads of both front and rear cockpits here.
It is among my "stalled" build efforts.
 
 

Very nice work Pete!

Very nice Jennings!
 
I very much enjoyed my tour with the 307th BW (CAM), the KC-135A was a dream to work on. I was in the Instrument Shop and the Collins FD-109 system was ours to maintain. It was the 1st true Flight Director system and it was also quite colorful as compared to other systems of the time! On a TDY to Kadena I had the pleasure to support several different versions of the 135 including those that supported the Habu.

And to think unlike my generation of white shirted, black tie & pocket protector engineers these "kids" look like the hippies on my gen.!!

It truly is a sight to behold!   It is the "model A" of the functionally reusable rocket booster.

Not sure what happened to the Radome but it looks like the GIB wasn't hanging around to find out what happened next.

Joe goes by fox3tornado on eBay.
 
As I recall the Exhaust Nozzles that GT Resin offers are the ones Joe used to sell, GT Resin has the rights to reproduce and sell them.

I also have the Big Mo and the Arizona but grabbed the Enterprise when it came out a while back. I really like large scale ship models!

Hi Dieter,
 
Phantastic Phantom! You've done a superb job on the Ol Gal.
 
Accurate depiction of the travel pod. When our jets went cross country over the weekends from Mac Dill AFB, Florida they always returned with Coors beer, because at the time it could not be purchased east of the Mississippi River. Always nice and cold upon arrival!!
 
Very nice work.

To Illustrate Tony's point. This is a Spey powered Phantom

Frank,
 
I do hope to return to the build, one day. I'm up to my neck in a 1/16 M1A1 Abrams build right now.
Anything I can do to help in your efforts just PM me and I will do my best!
 
Cheers,
Barry

It works! I have gone back and tagged my existing WIP and specific topics posts.
 
Using aircraft specific tags like; F-4 Phantom, F-100 Super Saber, F-8 Crusader and A-7 Corsair.
 
Including any subject about a specific aircraft whether a complete build of just a cockpit or other area.
 
I like the idea, thanks for putting us on to this Kevin

Yep there are some big screws used in big places!

What a fantastic build!  You've provided us with an awesome example of model "making" as opposed to model "building".
