and im off, but its been a rocky start.
i was planning on adding some ejectionhandles to the bangseats, but they are to small and i just couldnt get them right. the tinwire im using just didnt want to get into shape. o i decided to drop that idea and just ad 2 pilot figures (from a set of cheap n-scale figures i got online).

also, im filming the whole thing to make a youtube inbox review and build video.

the first main change was the nose, the E-Model nose was removed and replaced with a more fitting nose, salvaged from an old 80's/90's Revell Tornado IDS kit.

Update,

the pilot figures have been painted and added to the cockpit. i have scratchbuilt a new nosewheel legg, using 2mm styrene tube and a 1mm sewing needle (was stronger then the thin plastic). this is to give the aircraft a higher AoA for catapult launch (F-4K nose can extend by 40 inches, which in 1/144 is roughly 1cm). the canopy has been glued on with UV resin glue (transparent curing).

ive also salvaged some Skyflash and Sidewinder missiles from the sparesbox (leftovers from a pair of old Revell Gripens), i will be looking into scratchbuilding some launchrails for the inert pylons.

ive also added a Marconi RWR antenna on the tail.

so far, so good...
