How about the proposed F-4E(F) single seat variant of the Phantom - see here for details.

Hey ted im still going to do the Slip wing idea of yours...just a small matter of clearing the bench of VTOL builds first

Any pics - given that the the Midland air museum is a little out of my way right now.

And the F-4T was a stripped-down "E" proposal....also single-seat I believe.  

[Radish]

Wow!!!!

When I went into this I NEVER realised the possibilities...and more to come.

I've sorted out 20 different colour schemes (ie COLOURS not unit markings, etc)
One colour scheme....the basic low-viz grey that's everyone's favourite    has around 10 models allocated to it already, mostly real but some whatiffy ones too.

Other candidates are:

Desert Pink....111 Sqn RAF
White....dirty and Finnish
NATO grey/green/PR Blue...Belgian
Black....Saudi
Sand, grey, brown....Pakistan
Sand/charcoal....Algeria

Oooooohhh, so many.

2 x F-4S sprayed in grey already.
RF-4E awaiting an u/c......Desert Pink??

Radish,

How about taking a Fujimi F-4J and shortening the vertical stab's chord a tad, removing the dog tooth on the outer wings, flattening the horizontal stabs a mite, converting it to single seat, and painting it the dual green scheme seen on on Harriers (NATO/Lichen green?) and hanging a dabble of Rockeyes on a couple of pylons?

Fujimi "J"s will be built real, but Italeri "S"s are cheaper and easier to come by.
I'll certainly be adding some whatiffery, not just in the paintwork...

I quite fancy a zwilling F-4SS?? Black and silver
And that modelling feat could release a couple of tailplanes for an X-tail Phantom

And did I say that in The Rocky Horror Show there are Phantoms in the cast?

Hey terry that would look good alongside that Falklands based twin toom i did a few years ago

[Radish]

Sounds good, Martin.

Hey, a quad Phantom? Would it be a 4x4  

[Rhino1953]

I got my work in progress F-4M (gun armed Spey engined, 56 Sqn slatted blah blah blah) out last night with a view to finally completing it, but the main gear has disappeared and there is other damage to it, so I've put it away again. I'm going to have to find an Aeroclub U/C set to replace the broken bits, then I'll continue from there. The plan was to complete it for the Tyne and Wear show.
Oh well, thats life.

So 500 Phantom build - can you do the origional McD Phantom ? Or does it have to be the II ?

Chris

[Radish]

It's all to do with the 50th Anniversary of the F-4 Phantom II so the early Phantom might not be applicable, but I'm only entering, not applying the rules.
There's also the very early Phantom II projects which look a bit like a cross between a Demon and the end result.
Single-seaters again.

Sorry, it's specifically the F-4, as that is the anniversary we're celebrating, although we had discussed the original Phantom within the SIG and decided against it.

Okay, if you can find a conversion for the original "low canopy" F-4A, how about using that as a basis for a single-seater with the back portion clear to improve pilot visibility?  It could be with or without internal gun.  I admit to being tempted, very, to try doing that one.

[Radish]

That's a very interesting scenario...mmmmmmm.
