The Big H were showing this in future releases last week, I meant to ask whose mould it was then.

The Monogram kit is quite nice - except for the details on the splitter plates. It also has raised lines which many won't like.

Why do we need another F-4J when we already have the excellent Academy kit in this scale.....!!!

We need new mould B/C/D.......

>> We need new mould B/C/D

And what is wrong with the F-4B from Hasegawa?... (except the fact that it is a bit expensive)

In my view, Hasegawa does very good F-4B, J, S and RF-4B.

Academy's F-4J is good too, sure.

But, raised panel lines on this reported Monogram / Revell kit?.... To be re-released in 2016?.... Wow.... Anyway, those who are ready to build a kit with raised panel lines would probably not care for differences between F-4B and F-4J. To kids, it surely makes no difference.

Don't be too hard on raised lines. The Monogram ones are quite delicate and do the job of simulating panel lines, which in 1/72 should almost not be there. I went through a patch of removing all panel lines. That looks wrong too. As long as the shape is right, I can deal with raised lines.
