Would anyone like to clarify what DMAS stands for?

Stunning build.

F-4G instructions here https://www.scalemates.com/products/img/9/6/8/1440968-46-instructions.pdf No strengthening strap on the lower surface but there is always https://www.hannants.co.uk/product/FLV48008?result-token=UyrH8 I notice that the kit has both the ALQ-119 and ALQ-131 pods included. During Desert Storm, the US based 561st TFS carried the long ALQ-184 pod https://www.dstorm.eu/pages/loadout/f-4.html which is not included although it is in the Tamiya 1/48 F-16 kits as well as the new Kinetic F-16AM &C and some of the first-generation Kinetic F-16 kits. In aftermarket it's been produced by Wolfpack Design and is also in Hasegawa Weapons set E.

How about AC-130H & U?

That's nice box art.

You mean you weren't able to glean that from the topic title where it says Hasegawa rebox?

Wow, that is superb. A great build.

Great work.

As I'm working on the kit, I can say unequivocally that the fit is excellent. So far, it's been as good as the Pucara. On the subject of the strengthening plates, I would like to point out that the Tamiya 1/48 kit F-16C/N does not include the plates which have to be purchased separately. If Kinetic had moulded these on to the kit, then they would have had to either tool fuselage/wing parts both with and without strengthening plates in different configurations as not all F-16 variants carried all the plates. This would have been cost prohibitive and would have run the risk of the moulding of the plates being decried as being too much! (eg the Tamiya F-35A RAM tape hoo-ha. Weapons/stores not included, again there has to be a limit to what can be included. to have every weapon/pod would have required a cost and there would have been complaints about too much or a waste of plastic. If you're a serious modeller of modern jets then you probably have spares you can dip into or there's always the aftermarket option.

Beautiful work.

Great pictures, as always thanks for posting them.

Yes, they are.
