13 kwi 2020 · I expect Fine Molds would opt for a new Sprue C as well for RF-4s, for the flare compartment doors. Even if just for the extra panel lines. But then, RF-4s would probably require bespoke wing sprues as well, to get rid of the Sparrow troughs on the wing under surface part.
The McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II [N 1] is an American tandem two-seat, twin-engine, all-weather, long-range supersonic jet interceptor and fighter-bomber that was developed by McDonnell Aircraft for the United States Navy. [3]
Straight away the things that come to my mind to improve the Phantom II series in air-to-air combat are - smokeless engines, leading edge slats for enhanced manoeuvring, lead-computing gunsight, reduced internal fuel, built-in gun/guns .....
13 kwi 2020 · No, the sprue naming always strongly suggested that they WOULD do the B/N - the 'missing' sprues were in the middle of all the other F-4B/N parts. The wing is probably sprue N, and the tail is probably sprue O. (sprue diagrams are up on 1999.co.jp)
I've thought that the original F4H-1 canopy would be perfect for a developed F-4T, a proposed single-seat F-4E for the FRG and others. put a sealing plate across the aft "hole" sills and use that area for avionics, much like the similar area on the single-seat F-15's is used.
Unique in that it was used by US Air Force, US Navy and US Marine. British version used Rolls Royce Spey engines (F-4K, F-4N). Some Phantom versions were equipped with a Raytheon APG-65 radar with 100 km range. Internal armament M61A1 Vulcan 20 mm cannon with 640 rounds. Max speed at high altitude Mach 2.23.
The two-place, twin-engine, all-weather supersonic F-4 Phantom II flew at Mach 2 (twice the speed of sound), and could carry a payload of up to 16,000 pounds of bombs, rockets, missiles and guns. Each aircraft had 54,197 feet of wiring and 643,000 fasteners holding it together.
