Chek Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 I've never noticed a Wild Hare build photographed from the correct angle to see if the intake 'hump' is properly there. With the implication it should be more obvious in order to get that more canted down look of the original. You can see it above the fuselage roundel in this shot. The intake ramp issue is in the last post on this blog page, with comparison photos. . Greg W and Anthony in NZ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing I am noticing is that with drawings, panel lines seem to vary. I have decided to use photo's only for all my panel line work rather than drawings, as I have just been caught out.

Anthony in NZ Posted August 2, 2020 Author Share Posted August 2, 2020 Working my way around the rear fuse. Look at drawings, look at photo's, look at drawings, look at photos....then scribe. Hmmm, might need to tweak a couple of those rivet lines...sheesh, cameras arent kind up close! Will just keep working on the back end until it's finished, the front will need some surgery. Well, the weekend is over...back to work! Thanks for looking in Anthony Starfighter, Kagemusha, jgrease and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The intake 'hump' is largely an illusion caused by the fact that they are slightly enlarged compared to the J79 powered aircraft. this is accentuated from ground level due to the way the 'shoulder' of the intake waists into the fuselage - if you see the intakes in direct (or even slightly above) side profile, no 'hump' is evident, however, when seen from below, or any other oblique angles, then it is evident (something I checked out when I worked on them and afterwards) - it is yet another a subtlety of Spey engined Phantoms Derek Edited August 2, 2020 by Derek B Clarify explanation Anthony in NZ, Madmax, Greg W and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony in NZ Posted August 2, 2020 Author Share Posted August 2, 2020 Brilliant! Thanks Derek, those photo's are really good at seeing the subtleties of the intake shapes. REALLY appreciate your input mate, your knowledge is invaluable! Derek B 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek B Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Talking of panel lines, this one is fairly prominent on the left upper side of the fuselage (I don't think that it is on the right side). I found it here: https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234949864-mcdonnell-fg1-fgr2-phantom/ (although I guess that you have already seen it - there are lots of good details pictures there).

Thanks also Derek, for that link, I had already found it, but am always grateful for your (or anyone else's) help to locate info. Which brings me to this...

Anthony in NZ Posted August 4, 2020 Author Share Posted August 4, 2020 As a side point Derek I see your point about the 'hump effect' I have been studying this even more. This illustrates it well I think... Photo credit on Flickr Feredo Bridge Very interesting photo in my opinion, interesting to see where the intakes bulge out as well Derek B, Greg W, RandyB and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes me want to build a 1/32 Spey Toom. Now where did I put my kit? Oh yeah, there isn't one :-( Madmax, Derek B and Anthony in NZ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
