Default Jet Model Products F-4 Phantom

I started on this JMP F-4 kit back in 1995 and got the wings about 50% done when I pushed it aside for other projects. I pulled it out of the attic a few months ago and started working on it again..
Still have the wiring, plumbing and fan units to install.

It looks beautiful. Are you not tempted to put a turbine in it?

Can't afford to convert it to turbine, now that I am retired. I had a lot of success with glow powered ducted fans back 20 or so years ago. Hopefully I still remember how to make them work.
