LSP_Paul Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 There's a whole lot of cutting going on!! I'll leave the center support inplace till I get the fit down with as little gaps as possible. One of the things I do remember from the "Disco Bomber"! It's allot like jumping out of an airplane. After that first cut your committed! Like that first step! But it's fun. A bit more tweeking here and there and it should be fine. Boy she's heavy in the front end!!!!! Paul Great Job Paul! She's Going to look really nice with her new nose!

P Stoner Posted May 2, 2014 Author Share Posted May 2, 2014 From what I can find for the date cut off, this RF's picture was taken in Japan 1975. If we're good I'm trying to figure out, first did this bird have the IR capability or not? I guess some did some didn't! So Prob or no prob?

Youngtiger1 Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Nice project Paul. You know I have the same recon nose, so I'll keep a close eye on this build to see how you do this conversion stusbke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P Stoner Posted May 4, 2014 Author Share Posted May 4, 2014 You can see my article on the Disco Bomber. I did a review on the conversion and a build. Paul Nice project Paul.

Guest Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Did the F-4's usually have the refuel prob out on the ground, and what kit is the boom from ?........Harv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul it might be my eyes, but that bird looks like it might be one of the few " Thick" winged RF-4Bs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P Stoner Posted May 4, 2014 Author Share Posted May 4, 2014 That's a good question and honestly I couldn't be 100% sure. But I believe it's a thin wing. If someone can say for sure it's a thick wing, it'll save me a week of work!! Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P Stoner Posted May 4, 2014 Author Share Posted May 4, 2014 Sqd/Sig USMC in combat book shows allot of the fighters park with it extended. I'm going to guess that some RFs did the same. The prob is from the J kit and the tip is From Hobbydecal.

scvrobeson Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 This certainly looks interesting. Don't see many RF-4s being built. Should turn out well, and hopefully that resin nose is heavy enough to keep everything centered. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well after a little research and looking at the instructions (DA) I realized that they had the fueling door on the spine.....Harv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petrov27 Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Really cool project - will be fantastic built up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P Stoner Posted May 4, 2014 Author Share Posted May 4, 2014 Aerofax minigraph shows that the RF-4B had the prob. Most NAVY RFs progressed along with the B,J and S, from what ive researched. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
