Paint Schemes MilViz F-4 Phantom

[stovall]

Thought I would start a thread that details the paint schemes for the upcoming Milviz F-4 Phantom. Here is one for the VFMA-321 aircraft 5900 with sim pics and one of the real thing. Got lucky and found the actual numbers of the paint colors for this beauty.

Great thread, great paint!

'321 is one of my favourite Marine unit schemes. Their late Crusader scheme is gorgeous (thankfully done by Dave Q for the AS/V model) ....

And of course, all the Phantom schemes are very smart - from the early Phantom days ... (which was not that early, 1973 - but still the first reserve USMC unit to transition to Phantoms) ...



right through to the end, as seen here on your great representation of BuNo 5900 / Modex 12.

They had some great transition paints in between, too - ones that apart from the Navy's VF-74, I think were unique to the USMC ...





a bit worn, but well loved Phantoms nonetheless ...

Great job, Tom - looking forward to whatever you, Skyhawk, and anyone else has cooking in the in their paint pots ...

Can't wait for the release!

First look at Robin Olds F-4.

[Dimus]

Wasn't Olds' Phantom a D model? Although Tom's paint is quite good, that long black false radome on the E does not look right.

Maybe it would look better on the short nose J/S model even without the chin sensor.

My sources claims he drove an F-4C.

Robin Olds beside F-4C Phantom II Scat XXVII (1966-1967).

[skyhawka4m]

64-0829 was a C model

[stovall]

Yep he drove a C model but that isn't an option with the upcoming MilViz Phantom. I will see what it looks like on the J/S model. Just tried to fill a request for Robin Old's paint scheme. I see there is a thread for a possible B model from SimWorks Studios coming in the future.

I guess that's a case of "you have to work with you've got". An F-4E can barrel-roll just as good, just remember to "forget" the M61 ammo

[Dimus]

I guess you're right, it was a C. Always mixed those two up, they look much the same.

[roger-wilco-66]

Anyhow, the repaint looks phan-tastic! Thanks, Tom!

The lag on download links is a bit of a shame.

Can you show what you get for the 40 bucks? How long will this offer be open? money is tight for a little for me here.

[SH427]

My question is if purchasing the beta gets you the full product on release. I'd love to drop 40 bucks but of I'm gonna have to buy it again I'll just wait
