This craft is design by PWDB.
Manufacturer: Peace Walker Design Bureau
Year : 1968
History :
The F-4 FVS is a proposal introduced by McDonnell Douglas in 1966. As the F-111B seems impossible to be the Navy's service carrier fighter, MD come out and give this proposal. In which a new Phantom using variable geometry wings, new avionics and new engine. Can become a new and powerful carrier fighter. However, it fail in comparison with the Grumman G303(which becomes the famous F-14 in the future). MD also sent this suggestion to the Royal Navy but they have little interest. Eternally this project is scarped and never went off the drawing board.
However, this plan and all its technical data end up being sold to PWDB. In which the dear engineers that decide to build this aircraft and try to export it to nations that currently use Phantoms. Sadly, the trial failed, again. Even though a prototype is built and perform various display flight in front of different nation's military. After PWDB cease the project, this prototype is "losted" a few years later. And mysteriously appear in Area 88.

Comment
This is the first time I tried something as complicated as this. I know a kind of wasted too much part on the aircraft and I will try my best to reduce parts count next time
Thanks for @edensk for helping with the VG wing control ! This plane cannot fly without his help !
Also thanks @CoolPeach for allowing me to take reference from his Phantom, he inspaire me how to build the Phantom's fuselage !
Hope you guys enjoy !

报到（滑稽）
nice
OMG There have been drawings of a swing wing phantom!

A very nice idea.
And a very good looking one too :3

It looks like the F-14 Tomcat and the F-4 Phantom had a child
@Indecision I take that reference from the lights on F-14 Tomcat. There is really a formation light on the wing tip
Here is one photo I take reference from

@Shootingstar07 formation lights on the wing tips? that seems like a waste considering there's already a sufficient amount
@Trijets @CRJ900Pilot the first parargraph of the "history" section is pretty much the real life history. In the end no one want this.
@Indecision emm.that is a formation light. I am force to take away the actual nav light to meet the challenge parts count.
the left wing's nav light is supposed to be red
These seem to be becoming popular. They are pretty cool.
@CRJ900Pilot make a fixed-wing F-14 Tomcat then XD
@Shootingstar07 ooooooh
Awesome plane, but you beat me to it! It's funny to believe someone wanted a swing wing version of the phantom, very interesting...
@Trijets Well...the plane actually exist in real life... MD really come up a proposal of a VG wing Phantom.
Deserves more upvotes, I like how for this specific challenge, that people take real life aircraft and just change a bunch of compenents on it and call it a day, this one by far is the most interesting conversion, may I say.
@mikoyanster this is my entry to the Area 88 challenge. It is stated as 2.862 thrust to weight ratio but I use power multiplier to scale the engine thrust so it is actually at 2.5
@edensk @CoolPeach Thanks for your help !
