Response to How to convert 1/48 F-4J to F-4C

F-4C needs:
shorter exhaust
different cockpit
different wheels
Sensor under the nose
Unslotted stabilizers
Remove the triangular plate on the stabilizers
Remove the bumps on the top of wings right above the landing gear struts
USAF style inner wing pylons
Very early F-4C models had the USN inner wing pylons
Different nose gear door
Different style refueling doors
F-4C/D has the refueling door on the top of fuselage behind cockpit
F-4J has the refueling door on the right side of the cockpit next to the back seater

You will need to kitbash the Hasegawa F-4C/D kit and F-4J kit to get all the parts you need.

F-4Cs had the triangular plates on the stabs later in life - MichiganPete on May 19, 2012, 8:34 AM
