25 Parts F4 Phantom,
US Navy Blue Angle team
1969-1974
History
The McDonnell two-place, twinjet, all-weather F-4 Phantom II, with top speeds more than twice that of sound, was one of the most versatile fighters ever built. It served in the first line of more Western air forces than any other jet. Just 31 months after its first flight, the F-4 was the U.S. Navy’s fastest, highest flying and longest range fighter. It first flew May 27, 1958, and entered service in 1961.
F-4s saw combat in both the Vietnam War and Operation Desert Storm and served with the air forces of 11 countries in addition to the U.S. Both U.S. military flight demonstration teams, the Navy Blue Angels and the Air Force Thunderbirds, flew the Phantom II from 1969 to 1973.
About my build
I have try to match the speed and size similar to the real one. Top speed 1200mph, size are made closes to the original airplane - original length is about 63 ft, and this model is about 61ft.
25 PARTS CHANGE was made by me, so - of course I am not voting myself. This plane is added to accompany with all of you who are participating the challenge. I am thinking to post airplanes used in the Blue Angel team since the 1950s

@MrCOPTY do it. Maybe you can add a cockpit to this. Since I made this at the same as physical size (just half a meter smaller overall)
@WinsWings lol, I'm Working On Something Based On It.
I can't make builds look this good even without the 25 part restriction
@MrCOPTY Thanks, I still remember our Copty-Win-BlueAngle which I like that plane so much
that is a e model
@Graingy lol
I want to put this in my mouth.
Please put a 3+ warning on this, thank you.
Lol, basically joining "your own" challenge
@CanadianAircraftBuilder I am thinking to make most of the Blue Angel planes
@NOTDragonCrafting F4J - Phantom II, 1969 to 1974
Did the blue angles use F4s? Do they use F4s?
Thanks @NOTDragonCrafting @SsKyCoSs @Aviator01
