Official Freewing 90mm F-4 Phantom II Thread

Hmm, I just looked up the control board replacement part for the A-10 / F4 at MRC. There was one review and that person said he got a replacement board but it would not close the nose gear door. Starts me thinking there is a problem with the control boards.

[RCjetdude]

Does your radio provide for sequencing? If you have a spare channel you can just bypass the board altogether.

Sorry, I went old school on my drop tanks. I won't have to worry about them falling off when I'm flying balls out with this plane.
Gluded them on the pylon, so when I take them off my wing is clean.

I don't believe so, but was local to the area, a full scale pilot and all around airplane nut :P

Working on some weathering. Grossman gave me a good idea using an old brush but I actually ended up finding an old metallic silver pen that is perfect for the job! I am referencing a technical drawing from markstyling.com for reference.

Thats what I did, used a metalic Silver sharpie and 400 grit sandpaper, worked out great for me to, yours looks great, I wasn't brave enough to do that much like you did, was my first time weathering anything.

Hey Aros, that looks great. I was actually at the Air Force museum last week. Here's the one photo I took of that particular F-4.

[Aros]

Thanks folks! I don't mind getting a little crazy with the weathering on this one. Nice shot there EA-6B Geek!
