Ed, I think the forward Phoenix pallets are too far forward. There should be a gap of a mere millimeters between the forward and aft ones. Now the forward ones interfere with the nose landing gear doors.

That's where the kit manufacturer molded them. Inside the forward Sparrow wells.

Looking smart Ed! Nice to see a Tomcat from the early days with the tan radome.
