Phantoms USAF,   Part 11

by Shawn Phantom Weiler

--------------------

 

Here comes some more. These are all 1/72 and all except for the Thunderbird are Hasegawa.

First 2 F-110, what the USAF was goinf to call the Phantom. This is one of the 2 US navy F-4Bs tested by the USAF in the early sixties. Hasegawa kit decals.

Next is a very modified F-4E, using some VERY old superscale decals. This was a test bird used to find ways to make future aircraft better in the air to air world. I "think" I used the tail off a wrecked F-4 for the canards. Not to sure, this one was built a VERY long time ago.

The 5th and 6th are a Edwards AFB test F-4E. Hasegawa with kit decals.

Last couple are a Hasegawa kit decaled F-4E before it was delivered to the Turkish Air force. It represents the 5000th phantom built, I think back in 1978. And last, a less then stellar Fujimi F-4E with kit decals to make a Thunderbird.
