F4 Phantom

[dart15]

I may have been dreaming (phantoms have that effect on me) but I think I recall mention some months ago and possibly here of a new F4 under development by somebody, somewhere???

May be a long shot but does anyone have any information on this? I'm hoping it will include M & K variants!

Cheers

Ah yes!!! Thank you Paul Doesnt sound like the M/K versions will make it though. Pity.

The A2A Phantom is still a long ways off yet , the A2A crew are building the 104 first using the data to model the J79 for the engine realism , the type in build is the F4E .

Having said that though, they've expanded their Spitfire to a newer mark (the Mk V) so they may do the same with the F4...

They more likely will not expand on the F4 since they wont have access to a Spey , most other variants of the Phantom whether it being only change in cosmetics and very slight performance , little difference between the the B to the S , only the change in sensors and weapon load-out and dimension ie: the F and G the N to S were Navy fix's to operate till advent of the 18 from the two Midway Class carriers , Midway and Coral Sea .

Spitfires changes were quite dynamic by compare but its also due to the fact they have access to the type .
