F-4B PHANTOM 2

Michael Phillips
Very nice work Enrico! That is my favorite Phantom scheme, even more so than my beloved "Bones" 🙂

Enrico Lodesani Författare
Thank you Michael, I still have a lot of work to do! I hope to make a nice diorama..

Holger Kranich
Phaboulus work on that Phantom! Is she just launching from the carrier deck or why is the front gear fully extracted?

Enrico Lodesani Författare
Thank you Holger! In this project the front gear is fully extracted because the phantom is ready for launch from the carrier deck! The section of carrier deck is that of the skunkmodels.

Holger Kranich
Great idea! I´m looking Forward your finished Dio!

Hi guys, I have a doubt about the fire tractor included in the diorama, being set in Vietnam on the USS Coral Sea. I bought skunkmodels 48007 but I do not know if it's more realistic the skunkmodels 48005 in the fire version. Unfortunately I did not find info about the period of use of these two tractors. I think the 48005 is more suited to the period, colored of yellow, while the 48007 is more modern. Can you help me? Thank you!

Enrico Lodesani Författare
Thank you vero much Hans ????

Enrico Lodesani Författare
Hi guys, what do you think of the photos of the Carrier Deck? Some criticism? Some advice? Thank you!

Enrico Lodesani Författare

if taking off, the arresting hook should not be in contact with the deck.... (picture 39)

Holger Kranich
When i see this beauty, my heart goes boom boom boom! 😄 But Spanjaard is right, the hook must be up.

Enrico Lodesani Författare
Is not the arresting hook but is the catapult holdback. The arresting hook is in upper position.

Holger Kranich
Jo my bad. I had a closer look, you are right, sorry!👍

Björn Leichsenring
Fantastic work. I hear the sound.

Enrico Lodesani Författare
It was not very clear Holger, no problem! Thank you Bjorn!

Spanjaard

Enrico Lodesani Författare
I went crazy for finding the details of the take-off 😄

Slavo Hazucha
Splendid display, superb details just everywhere from the plane down to the deck crew helmets 👍 Beautifully made & put together, ready to take off to collect some medals on a show😉 👍

Enrico Lodesani Författare
Thank you very much Slavo!

Paul Moore
...wow! Very impressive.

I was a A-6 pilot and I only used the bridle system on the TA-4J. Looking at USN F-4 photos, I don't see the nose extended as high as you show it. Just a quick search on my part though. That F-4 you did is stunning!

Enrico Lodesani Författare
Hi Paul, thank you! What do you mean with "Looking at USN F-4 photos, I don't see the nose extended as high as you show it."? I see the USN F-4 photos with the nose extended. google.it/url?sa=i&a..ust=1569502847489893

Enrico Lodesani Författare
Ok thank you Hans for your critiques..

Enrico Lodesani Författare
You're right, Hans, however, I honestly don't know so much about these details. Today I learned something new, and I thank you!

Holger Kranich
Ahh, Hans is sharing his wisdom!🙂

Enrico Lodesani Författare
