Barry Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 Hi Peter, Here is a pretty accurate rendering of a F-4B Main Gear Door. It is part of my F-4B WAY Stalled build. Barry Derek B, Greg W, Uncarina and 6 others 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmy! Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 Glad to see you doing something about that high pitched noise in the cockpit, drowning out the LSO screaming “GEAR!” Keep up the good work Booger! She’s turning out great! Timmy! easixpedro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too late for this build as my posts are a bit behind, so the doors are mounted and decaled already, but for anyone else wanting to build one, it’ll help.

She’s turning out great! Timmy! Is it bad that as I read that aural tones were playing in my head? Suppose I better get the AoA probes done so they don’t get slow. (Hearing the stall warning horn go off at night behind the boat will take years off your life btw) Anthony in NZ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

easixpedro Posted September 7, 2021 Author Share Posted September 7, 2021 Thanks gents! That’s the type of a reaction that makes me think I’m on the right track…I’m telling you building dynamic scenes is addictive. Have some odds and ends to wrap up on the nose gear and then on to the stores. Am trying to make some LAU-10 pods, (I’lol explain my reasoning when I get to ‘em). -Peter Anthony in NZ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taking a pause as I'm headed to Tailhook this weekend to sell some books. The theme is Vietnam, so I couldn't pass on the opportunity. If you're on the Book of Face, I highly suggest following the Tailhook Association. They've been posting a ton of Vietnam era photos, especially from VF-114. Their HQ in San Diego has an amazing archive with a ton of photos (lots of glorious kodachrome slides). A tremendous resource for certain! More soon...want to wrap this up and get going on the Prowler. Next year's Nats are just down the road from me and I'd like to get her done in time. -Peter JeepsGunsTanks, rock1947a, Anthony in NZ and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a moment to watch Diz Laird hop in an F-35 simulator and do pattern work at the boat. Who's he? Only Hellcat ace w/ kills against both Germans and Japanese. Dude's 100. Sat and had a beer w/ Jack Ensch and his wife. Double MiG killer with Mugs McKeown from VF-161 in 1972. Shot down by a SAM a couple of weeks later and the ejection mangled his hand. The Vietnamese amputated what they could to save the rest. His call sign became "Fingers." Amazing stories to be heard. Those dudes are literally my heroes. Everything we take for granted today is a direct result of them.

I did see him walking around, but didn't get a chance to chat. Spent a good amount of time talking with Brad Elward. His book on TOP GUN just hit the bookshelves last week. It'll be the definitive work on the subject--it's massive. He came through Fallon when I was there and he was blown away as I had a copies of several of his Osprey series actually sitting on my desk. It was a good ice-breaker for certain! Anthony in NZ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
