F-4 Phantom information gathering.

[jknaus]

Okay looking for some more information. Does anyone know of some good reference photos of the aft cockpit aft bulkhead sans seat? I have watched some videos and seen some builds where guys are putting some wiring coming out of the aft bulkhead on the left side and going places. I have searched through all my Phantom books and online and can not find any good shots of the area. Any help would be appreciated.

Just gathering intel at the moment. I think I have almost all the AM I need.

Can someone tell me if the rudder pedals in the F-4J or any Phantom for that matter are the same front and back? I just recieved a set of pedals for a 1/32 F-4J and it only has one set of pedals. Its from Barracuda. I wish I had noticed that only one set comes in a package which boggles my mind...

Are these threads for the same F-4?

Yep. I have almost everything, but it bugs me about the canon plugs and wiring on the aft bulkhead. ARMS kicking in hard.

One thing to check on the kit is the aft bulkhead position. Most have it sloped to match the angle of the seat and rails when it should be vertical. The aft cockpit was an avionics bay on the single seat F3H-G Super Demon supersonic fighter and YAH-1 fighter bomber prototypes. The Navy eventually decided they wanted a Fleet Defence Interceptor with a more powerfull radar. With its associated increase in workload, the GIB was stuffed in the avionics bay on the YF4H-1.
