Hi Frank,
Did you use white for the underside? It should be F.S. 36622 Camouflage Grey.
Build is coming along nicely!

Thanks chaps for the info. I think a lot of people are not aware of the many changes regarding the Spey-powered Phantoms.
By the way, can anyone point me into the direction of some usable scale drawings?
Cees
Cees,
As far as I know no one has ever come up with scale drawing that were considered completely accurate. I have a number of drawing on the K/M but all leave something to be desired.

Very impressive changes! I never knew the Brits had an F4 with a different engine.
Both Phantoms built for the British the F-4K and the F-4M had Spey engines it was a part of the contractual agreement to purchase a non British built aircraft. There were other sub assemblies that were built in Britain as well.

Chek,
I thought that might be what you were pointing out. The F.S. drawing I posted is Tommy's as well. With the NO you posted with my picture my intake rise is pretty close is it not?

No
Note though Cees, it's not only a widening of the intakes, but they also rise to a point about level with the rear canopy fairing.
Despite Frank's valiant effort, this omission was enough to spoil the look of his method for me. The whole intake of the Spey Phantom looks like it's been cranked downwards, and without the vertical rise, you can't get enough of that downward crank.
Hi Chek,
I do not understand "rise to a point about level with the rear canopy fairing" can you please elaborate?
Thanks,
Barry

Hi Barry,
Wow what a nice piece of craftsmanship. Can you elaborate how you modified the rear fuselage? It looks well and truly cut up (makes me look like an amateur in comparison
). I read that due to the larger engines the area rule (coke bottle shape) was lost.
Cees
Hi Cees,
Sorry for the tardy reply. It was all purely Mk 1 eyeball fro picks and drawings. I just cutting as needed to get the downward slope as close as I could.

Mr Wingco57,
Have tread down this road myself an accurate renderings is a big, big undertaking.
I have a large quantity of data as was among those asked to "share" with HKM and that lead to the stalling out my project. I do not want to high jack your thread but wanted to share some pics of my efforts. First top pic is an OOB Tamiya, lower is the highly modified intake/exhaust.

I may be a little too late but as you are working towards a Vietnam era RF-4C I thought these may be of use to you.
The are scans of the front and rear cockpit from the RF-4C-1 flight manual.
Cheers,
Barry

WOW! That would build into one awesome model. Just a little to pricey for my retirement budget but I would have one in a minute if it was possible.
Thanks James for the nice review.
