plastic model, but great for reference.
have a look at its camo scheme, pit layout, airbrake, etc.

That is one great job of painting! Really good work, can hardly tell if it is real or a scalemodel.

ya, sometimes i think, if we take pics with digicamera, we can have skin done in minutes! :D

btw, hesitate to build a rough 3d pit for phantom..too many pit variants!!

I know, I had the same problem.
That is what happens with planes long in service and specially the Phantoms. After years of different types of upgrades, it is like a mish mash of instruments and locations of gauges in the pits.

Hmm...Aeyes, so your current 2d pit is Vnam-era USAF E model? or a modernized E?

To complete the list, we need pits of:
1.USN B/J/S
2. USAF C/D/E/F/G/ RF4C, RF4E.
3. RAF/RN M/K
4. IAF E modified?/2000
5. others? EJ?

sure, i'll wait Ripper release more models first. For now..hope we can have Vnam E and B.

Hehe your list is a little too long for me.
The F-4 pit now available is initially a F-4E, although the F and G are not that much different inside. I have seen E's where upgraded instruments where placed all over the pit, like there was no standard but a pilot's preference. Re my E, I would say a E pit at the end of the Nam war and later.

Fuel tanks are done(if you mean the centerline one).
Pave knife modeled, no skin yet. (planed to post a shot weeks ago)

Info is hard to find..i dont know if it got a designator turret/section, where its "designator window" located, how many in service(during Nam era). Its utterly classified.

Is anyone doing an AGM-78 "Standard" anti-radiation missile, by chance?
