ScottsGT Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 Anyone got any good photos of actual BA F-4J phantoms that show a close up view of the coroguard on the wings LE? Model kit instructions show the entire LE panel painted, but distant pics of BA’s in flight show a much smaller area painted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottsGT Posted December 17, 2023 Author Share Posted December 17, 2023 Look closer at pics 3 & 5. Not even a J model. I read somewhere that’s a C or a D painted up to look like a BA. Very inaccurate paint job. I think 4 is a computer generated pic. Some of yours are good pics that was adding to the confusion. I did find a YouTube video or two today that shows exactly what I needed. The coroguard is a small area on the LE, not all the way to the panel lines like that display C or D model. Note the non slatted stabilizer. Your pics are the ones I saw that created all my confusion along with the incorrect painting guide in the Hasegawa 1/48 kit. (I say incorrect. Incorrect for the 1969 BA birds.). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martinnfb Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 Could you post links to those YouTube videos, for future references ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottsGT Posted December 18, 2023 Author Share Posted December 18, 2023 LOL! You read my mind! https://blueangelphantoms.com/ This one is really funny. Apparently the Crew Chief flew with the pilot to the next air show location. Don’t want to spoil it, but gravity and a hamburger is involved https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YeURcXsLfBw 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
