This FEJ F4 looks absolutly awesome. Get it trimmed out and I'm sure take offs and handling will be fine. Seems that someone else took the video with side comments, not always what the nervous pilot wants to hear on maiden, hehehe.

Nice Job.

Something looks "off" about the shape of that airplane. I think its that the fuselage looks too "square" compared to other F-4 models...

It is the wrong scheme for the long-nose F-4...

I'd say the nose is wrong, the wing is wrong, thh gear is too tall (but at least it went up!) and so on.

That's for sure! the US Navy & Marine Corps went from the B models to J 's (The "B" went thru a extended service retro fit and become J's new engines/avionics/etc) The only kit mfg to my knowlege that has kits with a difference between the naval & Air force is BVM. The long nose ver with the nose faring is an Air Force model (Starting with the F4C thru G, & exported vers.)

yes, i agree. hence the reason i mentioned perhaps it was the "paint scheme" that contributed to the "it looks off" comment below.

it's a damn shame they couldn't put an appropriate paint scheme on the first jet for public viewing. although, you gotta admit, the Jolly Roger looks good on just about any variant out there.

Happy New Year

I can't wait to hear what customers have to say about her.

Actually the "E" was the long nose AF version (internal gun and fixed slats on the outboard wings), and the "G" was the "Wild Weasel" (an E model with WRAW stuff in the nose instead of a gun) The AF "C & D" was a short nose, no slats, that carried a gun pod, SUU-20 if my memory is correct. Too many beers and years ago.

Hi all
I think the model looks good, and cant wait to get mine in the beginning of february. Dont know why someone allways have to look for something to complain about. Hope these guys could make a kit themselves, anything then perfect would be really bad! Put some pictures of your models here, showing the installation etc. So all of us can learn from the ones that is perfect.
