navy spook...again !

It might be a B-model but from that info i´m not convinced, as i´m not sure that 7920 refers to a specific BuNo. 147920 was a F8U-2N and 157920 was a A-4H (delivered to Israel). 137920 and 167920 was made before and after the production line of the Phantom, so my guess is that it´s no more than a exhibit number.

Here´s a update with a completly reworked nose section (thanks Vacajun and Ugo !).

Also the nose landing gear strut is enlarged.

Shapes look great overall so far AP Perhaps the ridge between the titanium exhaust armor and the tail section remains a bit to sharp towards the rear. It should be come less and less sharp a bend there. You wouldn't be willing to slap on a quick and dirty sundowners paintjob would you? Always been my favorite!

[Aircraftprofiles]

I think you might be right Supah ! Damn ! This will be a tricky fix ! I will look into it though.

by the way: there´s plenty more pictures of the model here: F-4 Phantom WIP – Aircraft Profiles

A sundowner is a must but before that there´s some scheme i have to do, that being a VF-213 and a VF-31. Then i have to turn the model into a J version and do a VMFA-333 bird.

my oh my, awesome work...
any chance of a 3d tut ???

[Aircraftprofiles]

Sure ! Be happy to help you...there´s many 3d apps out there, which one do you use (i´m using Modo, which is a complete package with both modelling capabilities and renders engine)...if you are new to teh 3d world, that´s the app to go for !

Nice Mads!

Got a little tired with modelling, so i decided to start doing some textures. far from finished, but for better or worse, here´s the result as it looks at the moment

never tried modo..
i used to use 3d max, the theory is the same i suppose, maybe its my patience that cant push it past the initial framework, a tut of this amazing plane would be very welcome... currently have a half finished sabre, mig15, and hurricane , sitting on my drive, years old....

Some how the tail feels really high.
