GA British Spooks

I think I have read somewhere (maybe in the UK forum) that GA are planning to do a few models of the British Spey-Engined F-4 Phantom. Is this true, and if so: does anybody know how far that idea has proceeded so far?

Re: GA British Spooks

I also like the fact that they apparently will make it with the extended nose gear (catapult position fot he RN FG1 model), maybe as an option.

Re: GA British Spooks

Looks pretty good so far, just hope the folding wings & flaps on the production model are made nice & sturdy.

Cool Re: GA British Spooks

I must confess that I gave this one a luke warm reception although I really like Phantoms. After seeing the pre-pros I'm a lot more interested! This one looks to be the real deal with options to keep many of us more than happy.

Re: GA British Spooks

Finally looks like someone is doing a proper job on the Phantom. The nose also appears to be a separate piece from the main body so maybe we'll see other variants besides just the "J" models..

Hopefully GA either won't have pilots or have pilots that don't look like blobs with a head, no discernible neck and a garden hose sticking out of it's nose (like another manufacturer's offering.....ahem...C-O-R-G-I).
