Canadian F-4 Phantom by ??? & JHM

[John Howling Mouse]

Had this one saved in an archive but can anyone tell me who profile this is?
Will use a 1:48 Hasegawa Phantom for this baby.  Need help understanding the load-out behind the big gunpod, too, please.

JHM,  It should look good in that scheme.  I would guess that the load out is Mk-20 Rockeye's on a TER behind the Suu-23 gun pod, with a centerline fuel tank.

Could be a triple pack of Mavericks too

My guess would be Rockeye's too..... got some spare if you need them, Barry, Gunpods too.

I could be wrong, but the profile looks like one of rallymodeller's.

Yes!  I think you're correct.  I seem to remember it was someone out east.  Who am I kidding?  Except for Alvis, I think all the other Canucks aboard are east of me.

Rallymodeller, where are you?!

[John Howling Mouse]

Is anyone sure about which RAF Sqdn marking is on the tail?

[Amphion]

It's a CAF unit, right?

I think it's the 410 Cougar sqn, same as worn by CAF Hornets of the same unit (Hasegawa F/A-18A in 1/72 has that decal choice).

Rallymodeller, where are you?!

Planet 9 maybe?

So do we have progress on this beasty and the two Viggens or do I come over there young man?

So far, a whole lotta painting but all still on the sprues.  And this is me building OOB, yet!  Hoping to pull two Viggen fuselages together tonight, though.  Pics once they're looking more like airframes.
