32scalelover Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 (edited) So since there isn't a GT resin complete conversion set for the F-4G; what all needs to be updated? This is the list I have so far. let me know if this is correct and anything else I need to add. Slats Nose intakes belly strap exhaust I will be ordering the speedhunter graphics decal sheet! Those are awesome. Greg Edited September 21, 2018 by 32scalelover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thierry laurent Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 If you mean for the Revell F-4G, out of my memory: New nose & pitot tube Corrected nose antenna plus the missing nose and tail ones Nose LG leg (should be released soon) Corrected Air intakes Belly strap Belly engine doors Pylons and missiles if you want to make a late one If you want more detailed ones: Exhausts, Seats & pit, Main wheels. Hopefully new corrected front LG well doors will be released. Hth Thierry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
32scalelover Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 I have seen a conversion set from TAC Scale Dynamics/CAM. Any opinions on this set compared to GT Resin? Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thierry laurent Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 And for the Tamiya one: Nose & tail large antennas plus the small ones on the nose and tail sides Belly strap Slat wings Pylons and missiles Correctly sized exhausts G instrument panels Decals You may also add a better pit and seamless intakes with more accurate vari-ramps.

This was valid when this was the only option as this asked for a lot of work to get an acceptable result. Not recommended! Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael931080 Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 I have a comment/question on this "belly strap" everyone is talking about on the "E" and "G" Models. Of all the later versions of this airframe I crawled around under at Tyndall, DM and Holloman I looked for said strap and all I found was the pattern for the upgraded spar section. Now if someone has photographs of the latter airframes with the straps still on during Desert Storm I would like to see them. Early versions show plenty with the strap on prior to depot upgrades again. Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony T Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 The spliced lower wing torque box featured a thicker skin from 71-237 and up, give or take 1-2 airframes. Every surviving airfame prior to that (66-69) received the belly strap as part of the LES mod, between 1972 and mid 1977. It's unlikely to have been removed after retirement. You can tell the later airframes (ab initio slats) as these have the thicker lower torque box skin. It creates a noticeable lip about a quarter of an inch roughly councident with the landing gear bays, running from the wingfold in. I've seen both too, and both existed.
