McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II MOCs

[rx79gez8gundam]

I've created many of the various variants of this phamous phighter, including the RF-4 photo reconnaissance version and the NASA research YF-4E used in the Control Configured Vehicle tests equipped with canards. I've also created some of the foreign users of the Phantom, including both major British versions, along with the Japanese Mitsubishi-built EJ model, Israeli Kurnass, German F-4F ICE, and the Greek "Peace Icarus" version. I've taken care to model them including the small variations distinctive to each version or user, so as not to simply create "repaints" and make each distinctive. I would love to hear feedback, as this project was my first attempt at large scale (approx. 1:20th) highly detailed LEGO aircraft MOCs, and a lot of the lessons learned have worked their way into my other models. Features include a detailed tandem cockpit with room for 2 minifigures and dual opening canopies, opening radome with radar antenna, fully functional landing gear, positionable tail hook, positionable emergency ram air turbine generator, positionable airbrakes, and fully poseable flight control surfaces including flaperons, spoilerons, and all moving horizontal stabilizers. Thanks for looking!

Lovely Phantoms! Easily my favorite Cold War fighter and I think you've done it justice.

Slight point of critique: maybe include some pictures in the topic you've started rather than just a hyperlink? Then we know what to expect.

While I certainly appreciate all these MOCs you're sharing with us, it would be nice if you gave us a teaser or representative image for each so we can decide if we want to click through...

Have already been working on it. I have already updated my AV-8B, A-6, EA-6B, A-7, and F-8 galleries. Have a look!
