Spey engine nozzles

[chrisonord]

I have  a few different  f4 phantom  kits in the stash, some  airfix and one revell  rf-4, I doubt  I  would  build them to be honest  unless I  could  convert them into  RAF  versions  with the spey engine.  Is/ was there  anyone that did aftermarket  nozzles to convert  or is it a bit more complex than that.
Cheers
Chris.

It's MUCH more complicated than that Chris, the fuselages and intakes are wider as well as the exhaust changes.

But even the RAF flew non-Spey engined F-4s, 74 Sqdn flew ex-USN Phantoms with P&W engines.

I had an inkling  it would be a lot more complicated,  thankyou for the heads up Kit. I have a  set of 5 RF noses for the phantom,  and  was thinking  of using one  on an airfix  phantom I  have and making a  photo  recon bird for the RAF. More than likely an armed version with either  wing mounted  redtop's or   firestreaks

That would confuse a few people Chris.  BTW, the 1/72 Fujimi RAF Phantom comes with a large recce pod for under the fuselage, plus it has the Speys already ----

I have  had a look for a fujimi f4 a few times  before,  and since bought  the airfix  fgr2. I  also have  a matchbox  version  of it , had it a long time, unbuilt and  pondering what  to  do with it. I have  read that it is not a brilliant representation of one, but it does have  quite a few  stores to plunder at least.

The M'box Phantom has the EMI recce pod too, I used the bottom half of it for the camera bay of the PR19. 

I've got a Fujimi RAF Phantom, but I've never looked in the box, so I never knew it had the EMI pod too!

This is the Fujimi F-4S (RAF Phantom F.3) I've still got to put the decals on     It's a tiny bit 'what-iffy' though  ---

Nice build  Robert,  i want to do mine  as a 1960's   RAF aircraft , possibly  in NMF.

GE engines...

UK pattern RWR fairing. 

Nice one!

Yeah, well, it's one of those American engines anyway, not a PROPER Rolls Royce motor.............
