ZM F-4E Early Phantom ll

[Rockin' Rob]

Hey all. I don't have nothing against armor or Jeeps or ships for that matter. I have built two vehicles and I need to build an airplane. That's just all there is to it. I need to leave the constraints of the Earth. And what better way than strapping two rockets to your ass??

 

[Rockin' Rob]

Why won't it upload my pictures? There's something weird going on here I'm about ready to give up

 

[urumomo]

I thought you fixed it by abandoning the app

I thought so too. I'll try it again. It keeps doing it I'm going to suspect my phone. But this time I selected about four pictures and pressed done, the four pictures came up on the app with a 0% at the bottom and it just stayed like that. Frozen. It's freaking weird.

Here's a couple pictures if everything goes according to plan

see if you can post a photo off the net , like from google images or whatever

Hmm

Try 4

 

[Rockin' Rob]

I'm doing everything right. It's acting the way it always does when I press done for the pictures it switches over to the Forum and the pictures come up on the screen but they're blank and at the bottom it says 0%. And it just stays like that. Normally it'll say 0% and then boom boom boom 100% nada. It's got to be this site

 

[urumomo]

I do everything on desktop -- I despise phones , so I'm not the best to troubleshoot mobile issues .
I'd restart the phone an see if that does anything .

 

[Rockin' Rob]

Okay. I restarted my phone.

 

[Rockin' Rob]

The pictures come up blank with 0% at the bottom and a trash can icon at the top like always. Except it stays at 0% and won't upload the picture. Frustrating as hell. If it's my phone I'll get a new one if it's on your end? Please fix it

Not sure what kind of phone you have, but you can try closing all the open apps, deleting your cookies and internet history. If you're logged in on the app log out.

It could be the file size is too large for the forum to handle — XenForo sometimes chokes on that. I don't have an Android device (well, other than a TV, which is no help) but isn't there an option somewhere that lets you choose how big a picture to upload? iOS lets you choose that when you pick the pictures to upload (if you know what to click on, anyway), and it helps to make uploads quicker, or sometimes to get them to go through at all.

Pos phone prob. I think it's the phone. I'm going to shop for a new phone, possibly a week. We'll see

Keep your phone to make calls and text, and look into an HP 14 inch laptop like i have. You can find them for less than 300, and the microsoft operating system has a phone program in the computer so it will be a desk top computer and a phone if you want it.

 

[Rockin' Rob]

Alrighty then. I'm back. With a new phone and wow is the camera cool. You just wait till I figure it out but here's a couple pictures just to make sure this all works.

 

[BarleyBop]

Wow, great shots already.
There's an office worth going into!

Wow a jet model with engines, i dont see that much in the builds i watch here. And yea buddy the pics are great good choice on the phone.

Yes, it's a ZM kit. You know how those are. And if you don't? They like molding in the Pistons on their radial engines. Really cool. But completely useless. And I have a healthy suspicion that you won't see nothing of the engines and besides they're nothing to write home about. Kind of plain Jane if you ask me but so far the fit is superb.

 

[Rockin' Rob]

Couple more. You guys know I'm old school but I am having so much fun with this camera. And I don't even know what the hell I'm doing. You realize just what a dinosaur your phone really was

No sir i dont know airplane kits, the only jet i have built is a very cheep U2 spy plane that i made it into a salt flat racer. The engines look good compared to the printed ones i find, that have none, just the intake compressor and exhaust sections, if you want any details you have to do your own. This is a turboshaft engine i made the fuel and oil systems for in one of my LSRs, It would be cool if you could make it so one engine can be pulled out and displayed on a stand next to the jet.

 

[Rockin' Rob]

Got a little bit done on the intakes. I just keep being amazed at the fit. It's perfect. If you can't get it right it just means that you didn't take your time or you need to clean your glasses

Hey everyone! I pretty much finished up phase one of remodeling so I decided that this weekend is dedicated to the Phantom gods. Barley is right. You start researching and you find out some interesting stuff. Like yesterday I was researching the colors in the jet engine and also on all the titanium after the jet engine. You find out some interesting stuff that sometimes you never even thought of. Like how do they keep the jet engine from melting from all the Heat generated in the engine itself? The answer I think is just pretty neat and amazing. But that's a different topic. So the body's mainly together working on the stabilators and front landing gear. Not really much to see in progress but I know everyone likes looking at pictures

 

[Rockin' Rob]

Working on the stabilators. Trying to get that titanium, high heat, burnt smokiness that was the tail end of an F4. They didn't call them coal burners for nothing. These are far from done but you get the idea. And in case you're wondering it started off gray primer followed by X1 gloss black. Then all clad titanium gold overlaid with all clad Steel and the reinforced Center portion is some old model master I had laying around. No Label on it but I'm pretty sure it's a buffable metalizer.

 

[Rockin' Rob]

And a couple more steps down the line on the stabilators

 

[ohbejuan]

I have heard great things about that ZM phantom. Nice work.

Thanks. ZM kits are fun, but kinda complicated, sometimes...

 

[Rockin' Rob]

Okay, pretty much done with these two tail feathers. I think I'll throw a clear coat on them to protect them and set them aside for later. Depending on how the underside of the F4 behind the engines turns out will determine how much smoke and weathering I will put on the stabilators
