F-4EJ XKai

My current ideas about this modernization project:
- F-15 wings
- I think it is convinient to use F-15's tail plane for a matter of compatibility. Less canted than F-4's
- Minor tail fin mod, for aesthetic purposes
- A new less framed canopy, a little raised which allows to raise ejection seats
- Use of F-15 ejection seats?

What do you think?
Would you delete any of these mods?
Would you add any other mod?

How about conformal tanks.  Or would that remove too much of their essential Phantomness?

The F-15 wing on a toom was seriously looked at as a possible way to ring more out of the phantom towards the end of its production life.
The pic below is one I built two years ago. Both the Toom and F-15 kits used were Italeri.
