Hi guys, My first visit. I have a thing about building RF-4 Phantoms because I flew them for a long time. I am interested in action shots like take off & landing. Has anyone ever done a deployed drag chute for the F-4? Or shown a lit afterburner?

Not personally, but I have seen pics of them on the net. I would think the afterburner would be done with LEDs. As for the drag chute, I'm thinking some kind of wet tissue moulded over a 'negative' made of putty? That's my first thoughts anyway, maybe if you google it, there might be an explanation. Good luck with it though!

Wet tissue?.... I would never have
thought of that! Thanx. I figured 1/48 would be about 4"

yes, wet tissue is also great for making canvas draped over jeeps, tanks, etc. but to answer, I have never seen a chute deployed. would be interesting to see.
