F-4B and C Freeware model WIP shots

The British Phantoms, apart from some bought secondhand for the RAF, had different engines, and the RN ones had an extended nosewheel leg for catapulting from Ark Royal. It would be a bit more than a simple mod, I think.

Jamal has modeled the F-4 so that we can easily replace individual parts without too much hassle. In that regard, widening the intakes and replacing the engines and nosegear is going to be simple, compared to cutting through a solid model. We would like to make all of them, as we said, but this is a decision that factors in a lot of other variables, not to be discussed now.

BTW, is there a RL ex-pilot of the F-4B/C/N who would like to test fly this for us?

Brilliant. Thank you.
 
Greetings all,
Just wanted to post up a small update of the Phantom. I have pretty much nearly completed all the shadow maps, and the plane is ready for program development and painting. Here are the latest pictures taken at Jim Daehaens (sp?) wonderfully awesome NAS Fallon.

That with out a dout is seriously SPOOKY :cool:<input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"><input jscode="leoInternalChangeDone()" onclick="if(typeof(jsCall)=='function'){jsCall();}else{setTimeout('jsCall()',500);}" id="jsProxy" type="hidden">
 
The inlet detail is outstanding. I also think the new 1/48 Academy kit comes molded in the same color! ;)

That F-4 looks sweet ! Fantastic work :)

However.... that flickr link killed me. Will I see that magnificient VF-1 in FSX ?

I'll post a pic of the VF-1(A in case you were wondering) in FSX. I don't know if I'll ever get it fully modeled into FSX... but it'd be fun to try someday!
It's fully transformable as well!

That was so cool to read ! Thanks a lot.
I understand the transformation might be problematic, but in FSX it's not really needed. What this plane really needs is a believable and usable virtual cockpit.
Sorry for the off-topic discussions guys, I just got very excited at that anime plane. :engel016:
 
It's been a year since I said we'll update you on our progress. Unfortunately though we don't have anything to show you right now as the exporter stubbornly refuses to export what we want to show you.

We'll get around it though.
