ScottsGT Posted December 16, 2023 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.

ScottsGT Posted December 17, 2023 Author 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.).
Martinnfb Posted December 18, 2023 Posted December 18, 2023 Could you post links to those YouTube videos, for future references ?
ScottsGT Posted December 18, 2023 Author 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
