 | | F-4 Phantom MOC
|
| 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. (...)

| (...) Vool MOC here! I esp. like how you captured the look of the unique spine of the Phantom's fuselage. I understand that you have compressed the design and I know all about fighting Lego elements when copying something from the Real World, but I (...)

| 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)

I wanted to use these parts as they allow for the outer pannels to fold up and act like a wing-spar. They provide significant structural support for (...)

| (...) You are right. Moving the nose gear foward would have taken up too much room and not allowed enough room for a pilot in the cockpit. He's stuffed in there pretty good as it is. This MOC was all about compromise given the compressed scale I was (...) (17 years ago, 15-Jun-07, to lugnet.build.military, FTX)
