Unusual but cool F-4E/ QF-4E scheme

[+dtmdragon 2,693]

I was looking through June’s Combat Aircraft Monthly and found a really unusually painted F-4E, well not a F-4E anymore as it is one of the last the QF-4E. For some reason I really like the scheme. It is a heavily weathered and faded SEA scheme that a bunch of QF-4E were re-painted in as a USAF ‘heritage’ flight for the air show circuit. This particular Phantom 72-0140/ AF-335 is even more unusual due to the Hill Grey nose cone and WW II style USAF roundels???

 

I couldn't resist skinning it! Making the the QF-4E was easy just deactivated the gun as well as the radar and removed the WSO and his seat.

Looks like the nose is <<borrowed>> from another plane..as the teeth also are missing

from the scheme

Basically....yes. it happens from time to time, just look at the BiCentennial F-4J with a F-4B nose (put to good use with an eagle on the radome.
