F-4B and C Freeware model WIP shots

Here's a shot of the weapons I'm developing for TacPack with the F-4B in the background. The challenge is getting all of these weapons to compile with the model.
There are sub variations of each weapon, but this generally covers all of the early-Vietnam weapons the aircraft could carry.

Just one thing to say....bring on the "smoke and thunder"!! Very, very nice work and much anticipated addition to the hangar!
 
If anyone has shots of the circuit breaker panels in the rear cockpit, please PM me. I have all the CBs that are in front of the seat, but I cannot read the ones that are next to the RIO's seat, behind the DRSC panel (seen to the right, behind the ejection cords). Any help would be much appreciated!

Heya Mirage,
Thanks for the compliment! Ripper and I aren't finished with the plane yet. We still have quite some development time before it's ready. We're working super hard! I'm working on Tacpack integration, and Alex is the cockpit finished up. We've also got our texture artists and programmer working hard and making some awesome textures and avionics!

Soon can't come soon enough. :) But it's coming!

Beta Testing ;)

That's good! When you finish the deplovement, you means to give this model as freeware? I have a little experience of repainting with DXTBmp and Photoshop/Paint.NET.... If you needs a beta tester or a repainter :)
contact me with a mail or a PM!
Cheers
:p

Not sure if there is anything for you here. I looked, but am not an expert...... http://aviation.watergeek.eu/f4j-panel.html

DC-3, Spitfire, Phantom and Huey are my all-time favorites. Bring her on !!! :applause:

You might try emailing the Naval Aviation Museum Library at NAS Pensacola. I'd be most surprised if they don't reply with exactly what you are needing..... NC

Here's the email address:

Good news should travel quickly: I've found out how to export big models for FSX, so now Jamal's weapons display has been exported into FSX, here posing untextured, alongside an A-6 and A-4.
From a more practical point of view, this means that we can combine all the weapons into the model for TacPack while maintaining a high level of detail.

Update: Textured Circuit breaker Panel No. 1 in the rear cockpit. We're still on the lookout for any help regarding the rear one (No.2)
