Thanks all for checking in and the kind words. Latest update, I'm still working on the load outs. I talked to a friend who flow F-4D and E's during 72/73 out of SEA including Linebacker as to what load outs looked like. I'm going to use the fuse extenders though he said he did not see them use very often. This is a 68/69 bird and you will note that is was around 69/70 that the formation (slime) lights were applied. This bird does not have them.
He called for a single ALQ-87 ECM pod and three AIM-7E Sparrow Missiles.
The Sparrows are 9 parts each with four fins forward and four aft and the missile body.
and we test fit the missiles and the ECM pod adaptor.
Next I started with the Eduard Brassin ALQ-87 (V2). Now I'm going to go too far in-depth with this but I just want everyone to see how cool this product is. This kit makes up to two pods. There are a lot of spares incase something flies away (and one did).
I elected to do the EGEG configuration.
Where it says F it's really G.
As you would expect the attention to detail id awesome. the body of the pod (there are two)
I just used a Mad Works PE saw and a file to clean each part ups and superglue for attachments.
Looks great need to prime and paint.
