Repost: McDD F-4 Phantom II

Nothing too high tech, just how to save workpaths etc. GFR: I still hardly use paths, just for the panellines and shapes to get the basic shape of the plane down.

Guess you'll have to share, Supah: looks like I've started some sort of mob lol

Looking at your F-4 again, I find it even better looking than I initially did. I'll come back tomorrow to see if there is any evolution.

very nice work!!!
only a littlbad, that your webside isn?t online...

Hi Soulfreak, Thanks for the kind words. I am working on a website but at the moment I don't really have the time to get it finished up

Great profiles!!! the only suggestions I have is regarding your F4G WEASELS. The AGM 88 HARMs on your desert storm and Idaho air guard weasels would've had yellow stripes instead of blue since they where in combat carrying live missiles and not inert training rounds. Also you might want to add ALQ131 (DEEP)ECM pods to the Spangdahlem birds and ALQ184 pods to the Idaho AIR GUARD birds.Weasels always carried one or the other depending on if they were from GEORGE AFB(184 POD) OR SPANGDAHLEM AFB(131POD) (carried in one of the forward sparrow bays unfortunately I can't remember which side.)During DESERT STORM They even carried sparrows in the rear bays for self defense. Keep the phabulous phantoms coming your profiles are the best phantoms Ive seen!!

Hopefully Supah will do a few Phantoms from the last training exercise he went to. Some really wierd birds in there. By the way, the Germans beat the pants off of everyone flying these outdated and under maintained crates!

Hi Fritzie,

You make some good points about the Jammer pods, I am working on a ALQ-184 which is largely done however I have no information on the hardpoint used to mount it to the sparrowbay. I am in the process of getting adequate information together on the ALQ-131 pod so Otterkins can make a drawing of it but at the moment what I have is not enough. If you have information on either subject I'd love to see it along with anything on a Pave Spike Pod I am attaching a image of the ALQ-184 pod so you can see the level of detail.

There are several weasel pics on airliners.net some have pods on them. After looking at my pics both are mounted in the left sparrow well. I will look and see if I can find anything else on the hardpoint. I've found several pics on airliner.net and after looking at them .the good news is very little if any of the hardpoint would be visible in a profile since it fits inside the sparrow well.

Hi Supah!

That would be a really nice F-4F Phantom II.

Just ordered Jake Melampy's F-4 Phantom walkaround book, I bought his F-16C Fighting Falcon exposed book and was very impressed by it. Will let you know about the book when it arrives! I should have most of the stuff I need to redo my Phantom's when it arrives
