Shar2 Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 McDonnell Douglas F-4B Phantom Seamless Intakes AlleyCat 1:48 The Academy F-4B Phantom has already been praised for it’s detail and accuracy, but there are always areas that need upgrading in any kit. This new set from AlleyCat provides the modeller two seamless intakes along with separate splitter plates. The parts are made of white resin and are very nicely moulded, with fine panel lines, sharp edges and smooth intakes. There is a small amount of cutting to remove an area of the kits lower wing, but this is well described in the instructions, including a diagram of the offending area. The intakes need the fan face end to be cleaned up, removing the moulding lugs, before the kits fan faces can be attached. With this done the intakes are then fitted as normally along with the splitter plates once they have been removed from their moulding blocks of course. ConclusionAnother very easy conversion set from AlleyCat that not only look good but alleviate the problems of trying to remove the seam from the inside of the kits parts. These should be able to be used by almost every modeller and I can heartily recommend them. Review sample courtesy of 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parabat Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Can these be used in the F-4C by Academy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shar2 Posted February 10, 2014 Author Share Posted February 10, 2014 I'm presume so, but it's probably best to ask Ali. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ali62 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Hi All I can confirm the parts between the B and the C are the same, just checked kit against kit, and the cast intake has just been dry fitted to the 'C' to make sure. cheers Ali 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
