Hello
I decided to start posting my work for this GB.
My work will not be entering the competition, but rather will be more of the reason for a participating thread; when it's finished it will be presented to invite forum member (either participating in the GB or not) to enunciate the "errors" it contains.
As this GB is aimed to produce plausible works (as related to real-world), is in regard to that considerations that this work will be analyzed.
For now I leave you with a little teaser to the profile I am doing

I invite again all forum member to participate in this GB …there will be prizes

JP Vieira · « **Reply #1 on:** March 18, 2012, 12:55:49 AM »

And here it is the aircraft: an F-4B of the US Navy.
It is present to invite all forum members to identify the errors it contains (in a real-world perspective, of course

)
Please refer to its accompanying text as a orientation to identify all the errors present in the profile.
There are over 20 errors (or as we say in what-if, interesting features

)
Have fun :) and let all participate (don’t try to guess them all at once)
I can provide you close-ups upon request

McDonnel F-4B
US Navy
VF-101 Diamondbacks
Vietnam, 1965

Some of those errors actually seem like enhancements to me.

Like those mid-1943 red-bordered U.S. markings.

Is that a MiG 21 drop tank?

Hello Brian
Thanks for participating.
Some of these "errors" would be great for the F-4b

Yes, it is indeed a MiG-21 tank; not the only Soviet thing with this Phantom ...

Spey powered !!

And as a Weps, this plane is AMRAAM compatible

You are absolutely right!
Who said RR Speys only powered British Phantoms...?
And imagine the quality edge AMRAAM- equipped Phantom would have in Vietnam (if only the Rules of Engagement permitted their use

)
Thanks for participating :)

You'll never get one off of USS Monterey (Independence class)! Even if she were still in commission.

Nice though!

Logan Hartke · « **Reply #11 on:** March 18, 2012, 06:39:45 AM »

F-4E-style internal cannon and the probe behind the RIO are both WHIFs. Good luck flying that into the basket!

Cheers,

Logan

You could allways try to launch Phantoms from it; don´t know if there would be any volunteers to do it

Thanks for participating :)

The fixed IFR probe was an idea taken from the F-4E Kurnass 2000 (not sure how it would appeal to the US Navy); the cannon and all other things on this bird are F-4E

Thanks for participating :)

Air Group tailcodes should be 'AF' not 'FA' and I don't recall seeing nose modexes in the 400 series for the F-4.

VF-101 are the 'Grim Reapers' not 'Diamondbacks'.

It also looks like it's got a No 11 Sqn 'zap' on the tail.

Regards,

John

This has been Fun!! More, please!

The air scoop at the vertical stabilizer also looks like it doesn't belong there.

aeroplaneDriver · « **Reply #17 on:** March 18, 2012, 11:52:49 AM »

Pitot tubes on the V-Stab are missing.

All correct(ed)!
This Phantom surely had some strange identification numbers

And also some squadron identity crisis... besides also a strange letter code for the air wing
The 11 squadron zap was perhaps an inside job (you'll know latter what his mean

)
Thanks for participating :)

No it doesn't, at least not for an F-4B

Thanks for participating :)

Yes, the pitot tubes seems misplaced

Thanks all for your participation.
You are making this thread a real fun. :)
I hope you continue to identify the errors (there a lot more there).

I also hope you consider participating in the GB with some of your usual amazing work.

Thanks again to all

I don't think the formation "Slime Light" should be there.
There is a RWR receiver missing above the rudder.
There are some antennas (2?) missing from the fuselage spine.
I don't see any cup holders.

tc2324 · « **Reply #23 on:** March 18, 2012, 08:02:04 PM »

I`d like to see this land on the present day USS Monterey...

Come to think of it, I`d like to see this land on the USS Monterey of World War 2....

This aircraft has some strange avionics

Yes, the pilots almost didn't went to the mission for lack of those

Thank you for your participation
