this project will be a conversion of an Academy/Minicraft 1/144 F-4E Phantom II, with the radar nose and sidewinders sourced from an old Revell Tornado IDS kit. decals will be a mix of DIY, spares and aftermarket. the model will be depicted in 892 NAS colors. for the Royal Navy titles, im hoping to obtain a Mark I decals set.
modifications to be made:
-7mm extention of nosewheel
-scratchbuild rolls-Royce Spey exhaust cans
-RWR antenna on the tail
-revised weapons payload

Nils Steyaertand 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.

Nils SteyaertUpdate,
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...

Nils SteyaertUpdate:
i just finished making the Spey engine exhaustcans, but i rran into a problem with the decals i had. the roundels on the decalsheet were either too small or too big. but i managed to source some correctly sized ones from a Revell 1/144 Hawker Hunter kit. ive also sourced some white bort number from a DACO 1/72 Mirage 5B and (R)F-84F decalsheets.
