Phantom Noses


Recommended Posts

Which Phantom Nose do y'all find most aesthetically appealing?

I myself find the B/N nose to be the most appealing, with its smaller nub.

Prefer a clean nose, but for the “E”, it would have to be the Midas 4 gun fairing, not the original - just looked wrong.

Not a lot of love for the long nose RF-4 Variants in here.

I'd take an RF-4 module before an F-4E. The missions are pretty interesting, from the RF-4B to the RF-4EJ. Lots of cool stuff out there.

J & similar.  The E is too loong.  Not as aesthetically pleasing.

Having that mission set in DCS would be a blast.

Reformers hate him! This one weird trick found by a bush pilot will make gunfighter obsessed old farts angry at your multi-role carrier deck line up!

Originally equipped with the Bendix RHAWS, pre-herpes if I’m not mistaken.

Sure is a nice frame you and your compadres have there.

I know the D models evolved somewhat, so not sure if she came from the McD factory that way or was upgraded at some point. She is a block 28 and still fitted with the DVST radar scope.

The ‘D’ ended up with a mod that sprouted unsightly lumps in strategic locations over the airframe, majority being around the ‘chute door and all over the RHAWS chin, giving it the “Herpes riddled” moniker.

But, you are doing gods work there chap, she’s a stunner for sure. 👍

Clean nosed D or the J's.  Several of the D's were made without chins, Iran had a bunch of them.

This nose while clean has a mustache though.

Oh wait, I see what you meant…
