Very nice Marcel, one little detail you may want to add, the electrical connection of the TER to the pylon:

the small plug as seen in the upper right corner was for the fuzing while the larger plug was for all the rest.

Fantastic build Marcel. The weathering really looks good.:clap2::clap2:

I just have a small point. I am not sure a bomb and AIM-9 could be carried on the same side until the extension for the LAU-7 was introduced.

The photos I have seen of the earlier F-4B's shows one AIM-9 end two bombs on each TER. I might be mistaken but just check it.

Cheers

Nick

Thx Nick. See loadout combo pics below.

count the bombs… note some with single, some with two yellow bands…

They could even carry four Sidewinders with six LAU-10, there are pics of VF102 and VF33 flying that pretty wild loadout operationally (not a VF-111 loadout though).


Cheers,

Marcel

Stunning - I cannot wait to see her in the flesh in three weeks time! 

So looking forward to the meeting!

 

Thanks Maxim, but that not hard, they did no job at all.

 

She is done! Well, the chain on the towbar is missing but I'll get that done in the next few days.

 

I've posted pics on the Ready for Inspection parking.

 

Cheers,

 

Marcel

PS Yeah that backseater does look like he is about to fall over backwards
