  • Almost done with the cockpit upgrade I also use a drop of clear resin in each dial to simulate de glass. To dry the resin I hold de dash under a UV ledlight for 60 sec to dry.

                  DM, Great detail, my friend. Bravo Zulu. It does seem, however, that the WSOs are are always the last to get finished with anything, but don't leave home without one. Best, LB

                    • Hello all,

                      t would be nice to have a long nose options to convert the original F-4C to an F-4E, or F-4G Wild Weasel II, this being the most fascinating version IMHO. Any ideas?

                      Cheers!

                        Carlos, Check out The RC Geek's website. He has an "E"-Nose Mod that is 3DP for the Freewing F-4 Phantom. Best, Steve

                          Hi Carlos, welcome to HobbySquawk, if you have a 3D printer or know somebody who has one, on this page you will find a lot of parts to convert a F-4 Phantom.

                          Download files and build them with your 3D printer, laser cutter, or CNC.

                          • A320jockey, what Jets and Wings wrote. And if you will check out the "3DP Printing" forum here at Hobby Squawk, you;ll find STL Zip Files of many of the parts I added to my Phantom beginning with Post #611 https://www.hobbysquawk.com/forum/th...e31#post240692 . I did not design any files for an "E" variant as those are available through RCGeek for purchase and I think there's a set on Thingiverse. Best, LB

                            • Hey J&W, Elbee and group!

                              Thank you so much for your welcome message and links to useful info! Indeed I didn't notice this was my first post ever at HobbySquawk, hope I can add my own contributions with time. Currently in process of getting a 2nd hand Freewing Phantom II which will convert to a Wild Weasel as it it the version I like most. Was on static scale model building for several years but switched to R/C some 14 years ago. 3D printing catches my attention a lot so will check the related forums and continue on my ever-learning path. Having been a scale modeler, I tend to super-detail my aircraft as much as possible. Currently getting into EDF jets with an EFlite Thunderbirds F-16 which flies like a dream, my only issue having been landing without SAFE activated which resulted on a damaged landing gear (too much badly compensated roll on short final with a crosswind).

                              So since the parts are available, will go ahead with the mods when the model arrives at my workbench! Will share my progress pictures.

                              Happy (and safe) flying!

                              Carlos

                                  ED, Welcome to "the Squawk" and thank you for the link, Sir. Is this your design and/or Phantom project? Keep those pictures coming and glad to have you onboard, Sir. Best, LB

                                      ED, i have flown with it and it was dragging in turns more than usual, but it looked great. I do have a comment, though, what were you're setups when printing your 600 gal tank? I modded crxmanpat tank design from Thingiverse and it printed out to 127 grams with paint. Best, LB

                                          I think you are seeing my seam lines. I did not fill print lines, seams or post-process the print other than primer paint and bit-o-weathering. Best, LB

                                      • I might be missing something here, are we talking about this 3d printed tank?

                                        600 GALLON centerline fuel tank and pylon---- Updated to better scale and pylon mount Added Hollow version


                                        or is this your own design?

                                        I note mine doesn't have those nice little wings at the back
