navy spook...again !

[Aircraftprofiles]

I know i´m beginning to sound like a broken record but, here´s my latest project: The F-4 Phantom. It wasn´t too long ago i did a different version of the J-model, but it turned out that there was lots of things to improve. The polygon count was going through the roof, so my computer had a really hard time coping with rendering, so i had to live with tons of crashes, which surely didn´t made life any easier.
The version is made with a different technique, sowhere teh old model had 1,8 mio. polys this one, so far only have 60k (and this one has the gear down).

Plans is to stick to the Navy/USMC fighter versions (that being the B/J/N and S models), but i might do the USAF C and Ds and maybe even some recce versions too. E and G models is very unlikely at this moment.

Let me know what you think about this one so far

Nice, but at first sight that radome is too long! and the landing gear is too small....Made a fast check, you can do the same

Thanks for the comment. I´m not quite sure that Mark Styling (I think that´s his work you have compaired mine to) has got the nose shape right. Try and have a look at the attached file. The perspective isn´t quiet right, but the distance from the windscreen to the tip of the nose is about right.


Clearly teh nosewheel needs a larger diameter, but that´s a easy fix.

Thanks for bringing these things to my attention.

It's from Mark, but neverless it looks too long. The picture you have choosen have a few degrees of perspective but it can false a lot! see also AIM-7 Sparrow size? I am so nipticking as I love Phantoms

I dont think Mr. Stylings work should be used as a refference for anything.

Certainly there must be accurate drawings of the F4 out there to cheack with!!!

That was to be expected.

i looked into the nose-thing, and realized that Ugo was right (thanks Ugo!). So I shortened the nose abit, and enlarged the nosewheel diameter.

as you can see i have also been workign on the ejection seat which isn´t quite there yet.

Those are sweet highlights. This is still all 3D rendering?
