RE: F-4C Phantom - Pavel Bosak
Here's the top of the fuse all planked, and the left side gaps filled with epoxy and microballoons. Never built one that had a planked fuse, so this has been kind of a training session. The right side came out a lot nicer than the left, as the left was done first. I learned how to sand bevels on the inside of the planks for a better fit. Not near as many gaps on the right side.
After the right side is filled and sanded, I'll work on getting the correct profile in the area where the canopy sits. Then, I'll cut the bottoms off all the formers and plank the bottom of the fuse.
Today I also ordered the spinner, a Tru Turn 2-3/4" FAI type, two blade, black anodized. The FAI shape comes the closest to the that of the radome on the F4.
