Just picked up one of these (it's big), had a quick flick through the instructions & it appears the rear seater's instrument panel is nothing like that for the G & probably that of an E (from which I expect this kit was developed). Any aftermarket to correct this?

Nice kit & very nostalgic for me with that Airfix stand!!

Wow! Tbh I've always wanted to build one of these properly (I did knock one together many years ago when I was a kid!) but have always been put off by the lack of cockpit/seat detail (I'm no scratchbuilder sadly). The kit has been around for a long time so it's surprising that no one has stepped up with some detail/improvemnt sets.

This is a great kit but not the easiest to put together. Mind you, the Kinetic Mirages, one of which I'm building at the moment, are far from a walk in the park either!

Lovely job. I LOVE this model & you've done a great job plus added some interesting (& scary) information!

Can't find a 3 view that shows the spinners projecting beyond the nose on the B/FB Mossies, at least with the single stage Merlins.

Beautiful. Just got mine & will be very happy if it turns out like yours. Also happy memories of building the Hasegawa kit in those markings 30 odd years ago!!

I've built quite a few Hasegawa phantoms and they all had recessed panel lines. I always thought they went together pretty well
Some do (the F-4E, EJ, F & G as I recall) but others - including the F-4C/D have raised lines but all nice kits with some work!

That looks like a beautiful kit & your build is terrific!

I build this a year or so & yes it goes together quite nicely but tbh apart from the recessed panel lines, I didn't find it a huge improvement over the old Hasegawa kits! The seats & cockpit are rather poor too.

Hi All I had heard that Kinetic kits have some fit issues, i have now found out this to be true !
Hmmmm I'm finding their Mirage IIIRD similarly challenging!

I drove past her many, many, many times. Poor thing but great that someone is taking care of her.

Blimey, must be 0ver 50 years since I built this! In those days it came in a box with frameable box art!!

I used the Flightpath cockpit & if I'm honest it is not a huge improvement over the kit parts. Bit of a waste of effort & not a brilliant fit either!

I don't do ships but that's a beauty!!

I would say that it is an odd paint job. The tanks were made up of 3 parts which could have been painted in these colours and then added together to make the whole tank. I think that the initial colour applied to RN FG1s was all over white (the nose part) and then all over Extra Dark Sea Grey (the rest).
If I'D been the pilot, I'd have refused to fly that!

My youngest daughter (now 23) vividly recalls that when I played Don Henley's "Down at the Sunset Grill" in the car, he was singing "Down at the SAUSAGE grill"!

The Hunter really was a beautiful piece of aeronautical design.

The Gnat looks like 1/72 even in 1/48!

Looks good, first one of these KITS I've seen built for a LONG time!
