Kagemusha Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 It'll be cheaper from Lucky Model, time it right and get a couple when they have the $2 surface shipping offer, I reckon you're looking at about £220 for two... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit better but still way too expensive !! Looks like I'll be doing without this one - at least until I get a job!!. Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breaker Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 I'll be buying two. One RN, one Grey/Green Camo and then I can use my Tamiya -J for a later all over grey build. UK Phantom family shelf, done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as you avoid customs charges It seems to be quite random if you get nailed or not atm, customs on £220 of stuff could make quite a dent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just set you preferences accordingly, and add an appropriate note in the order instruction... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colin Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 But will they do that, and the size of the box is going to raise an eyebrow at customs, big box and it's under the £15 threshold 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaVenom Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Haven't seen any updates for a while unless I've missed them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colin ritchie Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Nope , Jennings over on LSP is working on the project and basically its still in development and there isn't likely to be much in the way of updates before the end of the year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom Phil Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 I see HK Models have updated their site to show Phantom FGR.2 XV474 'T' at Duxford... Just before Telford? Hopefully some progress is being made now! https://www.hk-models.com/hkm/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does state 'expected 2017' so with that and with no verbal updates from HK Models, I still think we might be waiting a while yet. https://www.aviationmegastore.com/mcdonnel-douglas-phantom-fg1-expected-2017-01e11-hong-kong-models-hk11-aircraft-scale-modelling/product/?action=prodinfo&art=136442 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony.t Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 Rumour has it that the bloke doing the CAD stepped away a few months ago and so the project is in temporary limbo. The wait till it's perfect brigade are either young enough to be able to wait, or are eternal optimists. My uninformed guess, and it's just that, is that it will be released in its shiny box vista 2020. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wafu Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 It's a slow Saturday afternoon, I've just come accross this on ARC https://www.scalemates.com/kits/1134050-hk-models-01e11-phantom-fg-1 Start saving, me thinks? I'm clearing my work bench NOW. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iainpeden Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 That box top is taken from Robert Taylor's "Phantom Launch" - number 376 of 850 - is on the wall of my study/library/computer room/model workshop - all 6 foot by 10 foot of it! 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creepy Pete Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 The dimensions on that boxart make no sense. The length would be about 548mm for a 1/32 one, and the span about 365mm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XV571 Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 That artwork appeared on the Aviation Megastore website about a year or two ago, even before any basic CAD work was done! The project has been in (slow) progress since 2015: https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234989748-132-mcdonnell-douglas-phantom-f-4km-f-4bn-by-hong-kong-models/& BTW, the dimensions and the parts count on the 'boxart' are those for their Meteor F4. I don't think HKM have completed the initial CAD design of the external surfaces let alone the parts layout. Also lots of discussion on LSP: https://forum.largescaleplanes.com/index.php?/topic/58590-new-132-f-4km-fg1fgr2-phantom-kit-announced-by-hkm/& https://forum.largescaleplanes.com/index.php?/topic/70189-hk-models-spey-phantom-update/& https://forum.largescaleplanes.com/index.php?/topic/74694-okmy-fake-news/&tab=comments#comment-1036125 It was mentioned somewhere that this will be fully revisited after their Lancaster BI/III is released. Given that pictures of the Lancaster test shots have only recently appeared, we're probably looking at 2020 at the earliest before the Spey Phantom is likely to be on sale; plenty of time to save up. If it's as good as the Lanc looks to be, it'll be a cracking kit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
