McDonnell-Douglass F-4E Phantom II, TL7
Some Notes:
* I chose the F-4E since I had the most info on
it. The version below represents one from a later batch, without the
arrestor gear (dropped in the USAF version) and replacing the
fuselage fuel bladders with self-sealing tanks (which reduced tankage
by 139 gallons). Total fuel tankage is correct, but the number and
size of fuel tanks is not known (except for the 95 gallon tank,
installed at the fuselage rear to counterbalance the M61A).
* I
couldn't find a very comprehensive listing of the installed
electronics, so what appears below is a best guess. Of the four
computers, one is for combat and the other three are for flight
(primary, two backups)
Subassemblies: Body +3, two High Agility Wings +3, three
Retractable Small Wheels +2
P&P: two afterburning
turbojets (23,740 lbs total thrust), produces 237 kW power
Fuel:
1,855 gallons jet fuel (fire chance: 7) in two two light self sealing
wing tanks (315 gallons each) and five light self-sealing fuselage
tanks (one 95 gallons, two 290 gallon, two 275 gallon), 1.73 hours
