1/48 scale EF-4C Phantom
Hello!
Here is my Monogram F-4C, converted to an EF-4C using TwoBobs decals and some scratch-built parts.
Before there was the F-4G dedicated Wild Weasel platform, the USAF modified some existing C model airframes by adding various sensors [...]
Eduard’s Phantom seats
These things just about did me in, my old eyes did not like all the tiny parts. They are not 100% accurate when comparing them to the pictures on the ejection site, and I am not sure if they are early or late MB Mk7s or a combination, but [...]
Speaking of the Academy Phantom
Here is the cockpit, not the greatest pictures, but you can see how I modified the left hand RIO pit to more closely resemble the real thing, the front pit is pretty close. One thing that I noted and corrected in the back, but not as much [...]

F4J flown by then CO of VF-143 “Pukin Dogs” on board Constellation.
I built this model and presented it to retired Captain Marland Townsand. He flew it when he was CO of VF-143. He went on to be the CO of Kitty Hawk prior to his retirement. He is one of the members of our little "Military Mafia" [...]
1/48 Hasegawa F-4J Phantom II
Here's one of my older builds, Hasegawa's 1/48 F-4J Phantom II, which I completed several years ago. Even though the new Academy Phantom probably leaves this kit in the dust as far as detail goes, it's still a great kit, and for many years [...]
Inspiration for the next build
I had originally decided to build my Academy Phantom as a 1972 Sundowners bird, but then I ran across this picture. VF 84 USS Independence, 1965. It was Indy and 84s only Vietnam war cruise. Markings for the period were in a flux starting [...]
