Well.. if that’s their blue, they really got to check their eyes :rolleyes:

Well it’s how you like it.
Pilots sometimes say “she is a wonderful machine” and sometimes “he is a work horse”.
I personally can’t imagine a mighty F-4 as anything but this huge cool guy 😎

Thanks Arthur.
PII, that would be Kurnass 187. It was a testbed for for the fixed, unfolding SLATS. That’s the reason he was given the sharkmouth, because at the time, he had better performances than the rest of the Kurnasses, and he was sent to many aviation shows.
The fixed SLATS were eventually not installed on the rest of the fleet because it reduced the speed of the plane.
After the finishing of the tests, the rest of the fleet was fitted with the folding SLATS, and Kurnass 187 was repainted and his sharkmouth removed. He later served in all F-4 squadrons but the “Knights of the Orange tail”, and went out of service after serving in the “Bat” squadron, in 1992.
In fact, it remains today in the IDF/AF museum.
This knowledge is credited to Ilan Vershai, one of the greatest aviation experts in Israel. Although you don’t know him, it’s his knowledge and a credit must be given.
BTW if you got some more complexed questions on the Israeli Kurnasses, you can turn to him.

Yes, only that the nose is Cheetah C and Kfir-2000 like.
Take a look on this. I painted it some time ago in fictional IDF/AF colors, but I also got you the unpainted version.

Here you got the best source of knowledge about the Nammer:
http://forums.airbase.ru/index.php?act=ST&f=3&t=10560
Reportedly first flew on the 21st of March 1991, it was never confirmed by the IAI. BUT.
I have seen a shirt on an IAI worker, and the words “IAI Nammer” in English on it. So I guess that does it.

Does that thing have AMRAAM’s on it? I would guess so since you said it was a former HAF bird….

Cool nonetheless.

Just another question………the exhausts kinda look like Spey engines..is that supposed to be that way for a certain reason or is it just how they came out.

I like this F-4….it seems a be a mix of all of them.

An F-4 Mutt is what we’ll call it.

Well, looks like it does :p
didn’t really looked closely at the missiles until now 🙂
I might transport the new painting to another version of this F-4 model without AMRAAM on it, if I could find one.
All in all this model was made very nicely, the best available F-4 model for FS. But it does has its wick points, like the canopy.
About the exhausts… they remained as the creator made them for his F-4E version. I’m gonna have to rework them I guess. Any chance you got a good side view of the GE J-79-17?
The Mutt F-4 will soon be a proud Kurnass 😉
I will have a problem making it a Kurnass-2000 because as you know the Kurnass-2000 got an IFR probe and some other smaller modifications. I spoke to the creator and he said he currently don’t plan any changes over the basic model… so we’ll see 😮
And just for the heck of it 😀
I really like this angle of the Phantom.

Indeed Arthur, but the IDEA is the same…
ahh… never mind…
I think it’s actually great for the Chinese to go with this kind of spine even in the early models of the plane. I won’t be surprised to see some CFTed J-10s soon.

What’s the cemetary behind the A-10A in the pic MirageIII posted?
