Cockpit color of F-4E?


Recommended Posts

That sure looks like a F-4C cockpit to me, D's were more "E" like.

Dave,who crewed C's during the 80's

It says "63-7482" on the seat, which would make it an early C.

The caption has been corrected after further research:

A link to the aircraft in the photo:

F-4D Phantom II at the Minnesota Air National Guard Museum

However, according to this other link, it IS an F-4C. Apparently they just have it painted to represent an F-4D flown by the Minnesota Air National Guard:

Phantom II / 63-7482 on the Warbirds Resource Group site

The correct model of the aircraft is: F-4C-18-MC masquerading as an F-4D.

You are right,I didn't even pay attention to that,I just looked at the first photo,was at work when I popped on the boards and seen the thread.The IP and IP coaming is what had me say that wasn't a D by any means,the late D and E,F,G front IP are very similar,but with minor differences.

Love the cockpit pics,they bring back memories(and a few nightmares..lol).

Midway,what E are you modeling?

I'm not currently building a Phantom right now, I just tried to help chuck540z3 (post originator) with some reference photos.

However, I do have "a few" Phantoms in the stash waiting in line for the work bench:

  • F-4E (USAF ~ Sqdn undetermined at the moment)
  • F-4EJ (JASDF 8th Sqdn)
  • F-4J (UK ~ RAF 74 Sqdn)
  • F-4N (USN VF-111)
  • RF-4C (USAF ~ either 15th TRS, Okinawa or 10th TRW, Alconbury)
  • Two FGR.2's (RAF ~ Sqdns undetermined at the moment)
