And it goes on and on and on and on! Some Work In Progress updates (and a vid showing the flashing lights!). I sorta almost feel like I'm starting to get somewhere with this now, but still a very long way to go.
So I've gone with an F4-B of VF - 161 "Chargers" from the USS Midway.
We got the electrics done last weekend, so a big thankyou to Richard FP once again :) The plan was to have all the body lights flashing with the wings tips constantly lit, but I'm 50/50 if the wings are going to be too much of a headache for the connection into the fuselage.
Whilst building this, I figured the pannels that I kept removing to attach / detach the wings may as well be made a bit of a feature, so some interior pipings gone in there (not for the faint hearted if your a purist!). The removable section of fuselage above the battery will also have this detail inside.
The rear section that now features brushed aluminium stickers was all built in dark grey and I really wanted it shiny! So, slightly thiner strips of aluminium vinyl have been applied (thus giving the join lines of the 1x2 curves) and a few other bits have been either chromed or sprayed metalic for the look I wanted....I know, I know, not purist, hey ho ;)
Mi versión a escala H0 de la Phantom Manor de Disneyland Paris, aka EuroDisney, ya casi está, al menos exteriormente sólo faltan algunos remates de decoración. Este viejo caserón abandonado está a más de 1000 km, pero ya tiene previsto un hueco en mi maqueta de la estación de Cercedilla, en la cual se integrará el diorama que estoy construyendo para crear el ambiente apropiado para esta mansión.
En realidad no es una construcción propia, es una casa impresa en 3D por una empresa de San Francisco, mi trabajo se limita a la pintura e iluminación.

Airfix phantom FG Mk. 1 (F-4K) in 1:72nd scale, depicting the aircraft in its condition in 1972 aboard Ark Royal. TERs (Triple Ejector Racks) hung on the inboard pylons, along with the large central tank (Bravo Fit) to increased range without affecting g limits (that would be imposed by Charlie fit with the outboard tanks.
This species is a more common one in plains n urban areas seen hanging from a web in plants n shrubs, very active, they were seen moving n mating in this position. Usually find in large numbers.
phantom crane flies are fairly large, long-legged flies resembling crane flies. The larvae, which are scavengers, live in mud or shallow water filled with decaying grass, rushes, or leaves, and breathing through long tubes (see left). It is the adult that earns the name "phantom" because of its flight behavior. It hangs or floats in the air rather than flies, spreading its long legs to catch the breeze, a little like ballooning in spiders. Phantom crane flies have black and white banded legs with swollen metatarsi filled with tracheae, presumably to enhance buoyancy. When the legs are vibrated, this insect indeed lives up to its name, giving the beholders a sensation of "spots before the eyes.
The Phantom Crane Fly soars slowly through the air with its legs extended. The swollen tarsi catch air currents, helping it stay aloft. When it flies into shade, only the white leg bands are visible, and the insect seems to appear and disappear like a phantom.

MCDONNELL DOUGLAS PHANTOM FGR.2
This aircraft was delivered to the RAF in 1971 serving out of Coningsby before transferring to Bruggen in Germany. This aircraft was the very last Phantom to fly when it was retired in 1992.
The purpose of the test was to determine the impact force, versus time, due to the impact, of a complete F-4 Phantom -- including both engines -- onto a massive, essentially rigid reinforced concrete target (3.66 meters thick). Previous tests used F-4 engines at similar speeds. The test was not intended to demonstrate the performance (survivability) of any particular type of concrete structure to aircraft impact. The impact occurred at the nominal velocity of 215 meters per second (about 480 mph). The mass of the jet fuel was simulated by water; the effects of fire following such a collision was not a part of the test. The test established that the major impact force was from the engines. The test was performed by Sandia National Laboratories under terms of a contract with the Muto Institute of Structural Mechanics, Inc., of Tokyo.
Introduced in 1925, the New Phantom was Rolls-Royce's second 40/50 hp model, replacing the first, which became popularly known as the Silver Ghost.
One major improvement over the first 40/50 was the new pushrod-OHV straight-6 engine. Constructed as two groups of three cylinders with a single detachable head, the engine was described by Rolls-Royce as producing "sufficient" power. The 7.7-litre engine's cylinder heads were upgraded in 1928 from cast iron to aluminium; this caused corrosion problems. The separate gearbox connected through a rubberised fabric flexible coupling to the clutch and through a torque tube enclosed drive to the differential at rear, as in the original 40/50.
The New Phantom used the same frame as the original 40/50 with semi-elliptical springs suspending the front axle and cantilever springs suspending the rear axle. Four-wheel brakes with a servo-assistance system licensed from Hispano-Suiza were also specified, though some early US models were apparently lacking front brakes.
The New Phantom was constructed both at Rolls-Royces' Derby factory in the UK and at a factory in Springfield, MA., in the USA. The US factory produced New Phantoms from 1926 to 1931.
Perhaps surprisingly, only the chassis and mechanical parts of the car were produced by Rolls-Royce. The body was made and fitted by a coachbuilder selected by the owner. Coachbuilders who produced bodies for New Phantom cars included Barker, Park Ward, Thrupp & Maberly, Mulliner, Hooper and the Italian coachbuilder Zagato. American Phantoms could be bought with standardised bodies from Brewster & Co., which was owned by Rolls-Royce.
I saw the above example, registration EL 1713, at the 2015 Wings and Wheels Show at the Shuttleworth Collection's Old Warden aerodrome.
This awesome creature I found in the Amazon! Beautiful. 😍
It's either a Reddish Clearwing-Satyr (Haetera Macleannania) or an Amber Phantom (Haetera piera)
The Phantom was created by, homemade by and still owned by its Dutch creator.
It is powered by a Renault 1100 cc watercooled four cylinder engine which has electronic multipoint injection and the DAF variomatic transmission.
It has a front axle from a DAF 55 and a rear axle from a DAF 33. The convertible body is partially made of aluminium and fibreglass.
It has central locking doors, cruise control, auxiliary airsuspension on the rear axle, electrically operated heated mirrors, etc.
