Calling all USN Phantom experts

[chris0423]

Are there any USN Phantom experts out there ?

I have taken a real notion for the Tamiya 1/32 USN Phantom II.

I can get my hands on the F-4J Phantom II Marines version. Apart from the markings, does anyone know if there are any other differences in the airframe, pipes or pit?

There's no difference between a Navy or Marine F4-J according to the info I have on them, a J is a J no matter who's flying them Chris

Unless it's the British!

Dupes,If memory serves,the 'Brits' used F4J's,as a stop gap,until we put the RR engines in them.

I thought there were some modifications to the "Brit" J's, though? Before the FG.Mk.1 and 2?

Great stuff folks, thanks alot. I got the kit and it actually has USN decals for VF-84 Jolly Rogers anyway. From a little research, it seems the decals are not great. so I have ordered up a set from a company called Modeldecal. Its a combo set, mostly dry transfers with a few water slide ones. 7 sheets in total, so a lot of rubbing.

Certainly will do a WIP Scott. Thanks for dropping by, just waiting on Eduards colour PE pit set and 'Brassin' seats, then I'll kick-off with the office
