Here is a MOC inspired by the McDonnell-Douglas (now Boeing) F-4 Phantom.
The MOC is mini-fig scale in that it can hold a fig. However, the actual scale
is compressed to using the small wheels as engines and the technic-air scoop
piece as intakes. As a result the overall dimensions are smaller than true
minifig scale.
Features folding wingtips and retractable landing gear & tailhook along with
detachable ordinance.

One confession is that I did trim the technic airscoop pieces to be a true 4x4
square. I designed and built this moc with this piece specifically in mind for
use as the intake. However, when I finally received these parts via bricklink,
I found that they were not true 4 studs x 4 studs. In a “fit of rage” I took a
knife to the pieces to make them fit as desired instead of redesigning the
entire moc. Appologies in advance to the purists. These are the only parts
I’ve ever modified.
enjoy,

| Unless you're building in a very large scale, LEGO can only approximate real life. Don't worry about it; the aircraft looks good. The wings interest me. Why are they studs down on the ends? (17 years ago, 13-Jun-07, to lugnet.build.military)

| Douglas, Very nice, thanks for sharing! I especially really like your use of curved bricks on the top of the fuselage and the weapons under the wings. A replica F4 would have a two man cockpit and a few othe features, but there's nothing wrong at (...) (17 years ago, 14-Jun-07, to lugnet.build.military, FTX)
