Looks Great! Nice job! -

[Wobisch]

I am still working on my crew and cockpit. I couldn't print it myself so I ordered the parts from MotionRC finally. The Pilots are from Jethangar.com. I still need to do a final run on the colors and shading.

:Confused: LOL I am doing dishes and laundry and about to get the patties together for grilling hamburgers later today... It is overcast, but flying could sure be happening!!!! ;) However, my wife has a fractured leg, and I am doing everything I can to help, since she always helps me when I am down with joint pain!!! :Cool::Cool::Cool: And she buys my airplanes, so...……….:Silly:

Hrdwy, very sorry to read that the "Mrs" is down. :Scared: Give her our love and make her another cocktail before dinner. Best to you both and Mom, too. Respectfully, LB

Check this out LB !! Whataya think ...?? Doable ? Cheers

BBR, Sure, anything is doable, however, you know all it takes is 1)Time, 2) Effort, 3) Desire, and 4) the Willingness to do it. Don't think I can put all four of those together for this build. The operating canopies will happen somewhere along the line, just not on this airframe. The weather here today is 73 and no wind e.g. PERFECT Flying Weather and I am stuck washing outdoor furniture while squeezing in some modeling time. Hope you're flying! best, LB

She'll 'Get It' once she sees it Flying around I'm sure !!!

C'mon LB, you're killing me here !! , those Factory TopVents are 'Lame',... they aren't even Slotted or have any vents in them !!! 'I'mJustSayin' !! Hahahahaha. NiceWork Amigo

PS :I've got WingTank Dump Vents installed on mine. Fuselage Tanks Dump is getting done too !! You are not Alone !!! Hehehehe

[Elbee]

VeryNice Vents !! Are the 'Top Vents' next ?? Hahahahaha

No, those came with the kit, remember? LOL LOL LOL I gotta stop, Tamms asked me if anybody ever sees the bottom? I said not really. She smiled that 'what an idiot' smile and left the room. God, how I love that woman. LOL LOL Best, LB

ps: Just one more and then I'll stop, I swear...

[Elbee]

Hey Y'all, It's time to see a therapist or go outside and play. "You must stop, before you go insane, MAN." LOL LOL New Vents for the underside were fun to design. It's a hobby, it's a hobby, it's just a hobby. I keep thinking how DD must have felt when he was building all the venting on the A-10... Best, LB

[Bobaroo]

I agree ... There are so many details on this Jet that can keep a Guy Busy ! And, hopefully, out of Trouble !! Haha

[Elbee]

I know, I know, I'm faster now. LOL And where's a transporter when you need one? Seriously, it started out as a fix for crumpled foam and I thot, what the heck, I'm the only one that will ever see it, then it turned out pretty good. It is so oversized and not scale, but I just replaced the OEM foam part that I had cut away. I think on the 2nd, I will just cut off all of the VIR and design it a little closer to actual. The VIRs are such a part of the 'look' of an F-4, it's a shame not to improve those a bit. Best, LB

[Bobaroo]

Awesomeness LB !!! We both know that all these things make them fly just a tiny bit better !!! And these incremental increases are in fact Measurable,... with the right equipment !!! Hahahahaha

[Elbee]

I had to do something about the bottom of the VIRs getting crushed by just handling the F-4, i.e., Robart's Revenge. So I made 'hard points' for the VIRs that resemble the vent openings and of course, had to make the tops look good, too. Gotta love 3DP. Best, LB

:Cool:thnx and the Cobra is my other favorite!

Which fuselage kit is it? You don’t see too many single engine Cobra fuselages available..

[Dave Matrix]

Nice work on the F-4, looks great! Love that Cobra in the background!

:Cool:thnx and the Cobra is my other favorite!

[F106DeltaDart]

After flying the Yak 130 90 mm 8s for a long time I decided to go for the F4 8s. The maiden and 2nd flight were awesome, didn't need to trim anything it just flew fantastic. This F-4 is absolute my favorite EDF jet.:f4phantom:Cool:

Nice work on the F-4, looks great! Love that Cobra in the background!
