I loaded weapons on these in 77. The letters on the tail of your plane signifies Luke AFB, AZ. I was stationed at George AFB, CA. The letters there were GA.

Yea he's right, you dont need DLC for the prop variant, just the vehicle.

I think the prop version doesn't need the DLC, it is the vehicle version that need it, so you should be fine to use the prop at this time.

could you make it just a normal prop and not require sunset harbour?

Oh its cool to hear that you also have a carrier undergoing. I am working on a big prop pack of carrier ground support equipment , hope that will be helpful for your project.

this is cool

*i need the naval variant too, im gonna be making the f-4j as well.

That might be a good idea, i made it because i need it for two fictional aircaft, as well as my own 1960's project and i also need it as an aircraft to put on top of an aircraft carrier im making.

This is a very nice work !!! It's funny that I also had my own F-4E model in blender but haven't make the texture for it. Since you've made the USAF one I might just paint mine for the JASDF.
