If this is ‘the’ Trumpeter, they appear to have an American outlet store. ADDRESS 2457 West Virginia Avenue Greenfield Ctr. NY, United States (US) 12833 -
It’s BLUE!, oh no it’s BLUE

We have 15 F4Js Some are blue and some are grey, There is nothing with a Spey, That is anything like a J J J J…. Decent build. Decent. From an ex-Tiger’s perspective, you’ve nailed it. -
It’s decent as an aviation film. In achieving that, it doesn’t go in huge depth of the two original book’s core themes, one of which is the title, Devotion. The other theme could have been covered in more depth IMHO and informed opinion, but that’s the balance the film maker has to weigh up. I would highly recommend Adam Makos’s book.

…or in other words, the title of the thread could read, Airfix 2024 ‘wish list’….

F-4J(UK) was cleared for and did use the gun pod as used on the FGR.2. Harmonisation wasn’t the best, but it could be fitted and the crews went through annual armament practice camp at RAF Akrotiri to qualify and be re-validated.

ZM did a decal sheet (F-4J (UK), Phantom II F-4J Marking Set SWS48-04-D01) which came out with the UK release of their F-4J. As has been mentioned, a few mods would be required to make the kit as an F-4J(UK). As for the blue/grey/green, I’ve phound that FS35414 is a very good match.

Uncle Frank's scary Night fighter - Finished!

Great build. A bit late I know, but the National Archives may be the best place to start for your Uncle’s Service Records. https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/help-with-your-research/research-guides/royal-air-force-personnel/ -

My ‘Pusher’ has advised that the first 40 have arrived and my pre-order is on the way. 😃 -

Both canopies are twins; correct. Take a look at Sprue G; one canopy frame is moulded for closure, the other moulded to be open and I’m guessing, easily switchable. #moretamiyageniusness -
As has been pointed out elsewhere, the 92 Sqn checks are the wrong colour. I hope that Airfix rectifies that as it otherwise means they are only providing one option out of the box.

1/48 - Lockheed-Martin F-35A & B Lightning II by Tamiya - released
Sundowner14 replied to Homebee's topic in The Rumourmonger
The leap from comments on the actual new release to a beauty pageant panel does make me chuckle. Tamiya will be looking to produce the best F-35A out there and from what I can see in the pictures, appear to have nailed it. The only things that matter about the model, IMHO will be accuracy and buildability. Anything else, including cost dare I say, should be subject to wide-band noise jamming. Looking forward to getting one to firm up my own personal view on the model.
