F-4XL Phantom III "The Phoenix"

Eddie M. · February 23, 2009, 05:55:20 PM

Out of the ashes of the F-15/106 that has been languishing for years, I came up with an idea for an even bigger F-4 (donated by Ron

.)

Here's how it starts.This will be my long term project for the year, depending on how much help I get from the voices in my head.

So, erm, why do your Franken-Models look better while still in dissimilar bits and pieces than most of mine do even once they're completed?! It ain't fair, man!

Hiya Eddie

All I can say is life was easier (not much fun but easier) back in the day when I was on FSM .

MILLERIZED it still works!

Great start Eddie. I like the extra long Phantom idea. What other interesting bashing to you have planned for this one?

Couldn't quite work out where the 106 bit(s) were to begin with, but I have got it now.
Wow! How many pylons are you going to hang on that wing?

Thanks Gents! I can't really say what the final scheme will be because I haven't considered it yet. This is one of those ideas that I had to get into a basic shape and go from there. I see it as a big SAC bomber with lots of MER racks holding lots of mud movers. From the looks of it, I may have to add bigger engines, but I'm not sure yet.

Excellent idea Eddie! Is that part of the Northwest DC-10 as a piece of the spine? You really are master of the hack and slash school of model building!
