Thanks Marcel, glad you noticed, as that front shape of the top of the intake changes shape on the Spey intakes Cheers guys! Hope to have this top section finished by the days end Cheers Anthony Edited February 13 by Anthony in NZ Derek B, Marcel111 and GDW 3 Link to post Share on other sites
Troy Molitor 4,233 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Fabulous effort mate. Looking forward to some bit glued together so we can see a larger combined effort. What a cracking build going on here. Signed freezing to death in Memphis. P.S noticed Gloria Lyons is going together in John's hangar? How cool is that.

easixpedro 1,757 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 So...I just saw this pic in a former airedales group I’m in. They were all talking about the heat put out by the F-4K during cross deck ops. Thought it worthy of sharing...absolutely brilliant shot. Love the plane guard hanging out like it’s no big deal. That double extension nose strut just blows me away every time I see it. The stroke of that cat shot had to be intense! -Peter chuck540z3, KiwiZac, Anthony in NZ and 3 others 6 Link to post Share on other sites

The stroke of that cat shot had to be intense! -Peter Thanks Peter, yes I know, thats a cracking photo. All those launch photos impress me of the 'K's' on Ark Royal. In fact I am struggling not to do my model in these colours when the fintip RWR was fitted, trouble is it would mean snapping off my ILS/VOR Antennas off the fin and I really like the look with those fitted...very cool! Who knows, I may yet do this scheme. I am trying to resist but pics like that make it difficult! Thanks for sharing, and following along! Well progress has been slow whilst renovations are happening around the house. But since my last photos @Haroldintake splitter and vari ramps arrived, they are beautiful and the work him and @thierry laurent did was worth the money spent without doubt. Although I can only use the front splitter as that first stage ramp is different on Spey birds. I have almost finished this vent off and again since the last photos I have primered with Mr Surfacer, done some trimming, replacing and refining of some clumsy looking fins and sanded back again. I think I am close (I could possibly leave it) but some of the fins need still need refining. In the meantime the top of the left intake is underway. And in situ Slow progress I know but at least I am still moving forward Cheers Anthony Starfighter, Spooky56, Sepp and 19 others 22 Link to post Share on other sites

easixpedro 1,757 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Those vents are amazing! Honestly, with that pic I shared, I’ll admit to being the ignorant American-I just saw a Spey powered Phantom and thought you needed to see it—don’t change a thing! The antenna on the tail is one of those unique things about this variant and you’re knocking it out of the park. -Peter Anthony in NZ 1 Link to post Share on other sites
jenshb 887 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Those vents came out looking good! It's an exercise in patience and perseverance, but it's paying off. Anthony in NZ 1 Link to post Share on other sites
