Great progress on the F-4E Phantom AUP detail set for the ZM kit in 1/48! Thanks Jeffrey @

Hypersonic Models

!

Before the AUP detail set, Zeus Projects also in cooperation with

Hypersonic Models

will release the "Classic" F-4E detail set, designed for the ZM kit in 1/48. Ideal to represent a HAF Phantom in a SEA or Aegean Blue camo!

Both sets will be limited run releases and will soon be available for pre-order. More info soon - stay tuned!

F-4E HAF "Classic" conversion set (limited production)

F-4E Phantom II Hellenic (Greek) Air Force detail conversion set for the Zoukei-Mura kit.

The set contains the following parts to convert the ZM kit into a Greek F-4E Phantom II example prior the AUP current version (Avionics Upgrade Program):

Slatted outer wings (cast in a special hard resin to prevent warping) with separate slats (parts in the photos with grey primer to better show the detail)

Inboard slat inserts. No cutting is required for their installation

ALQ-126 DIAS antennas for the radome, intakes as well as the chute cap (optionally used)

Formation "slime" lights with rivet detail (self adhesive white vinyl as well, the red in the photos is only for better visibility)

TISEO pod (with a clear lens and visible internal detail)

Strike cameras (more accurate than the kit contained parts)

New cockpit detail for the RSO office comprising of L/H console, 3D printed throttle handle, radar scope with shroud and new instruments for the main IP

Updated radar scope console (optionally used)

Rear view RSO mirrors

Please use reference material as need. Differences may exist between each aircraft.

As this is a limited production set, the maximum quantity per order is set to 1 piece.

In cooperation with Hypersonic Models!

If anyone has been after the EJ Kai 2020 farewell boxing, Freightdog have had 7 imported to the UK.

 

There's six left ;)

 

No affiliation, just a happy customer. 

 

Cheers,

F-4G version is a must for me.

ME TOO! I was a crew chief on F-4Gs at Spangdahlem AB. I'm currently building the Hasegawa 1/48 F-4G but would appreciate a better new mold.

Can't wait!! Hopefully released this autumn.

They designed the slats again in the open position...extra work needed to get them closed, but not too difficult I guess. The wing fence looks a tiny bit odd though, a bit too sloped towards the front I think. Time will tell.

Could they have used the F-4S wing instead as l remember there was a discussion about the differences between the S and E/G wing.

No, I don't think so, the fence on the S wing is much longer and less tall. From what I've seen, the fence on the G wing looks about right in length and height at the back, but to me looks like it's sloping a bit too much towards the front. But the deployed slats are a bit misleading as well. As I say, we'll know more down the line and in any case it's not a massive problem.

Box artwork and some more prototype shots of Zōkei-Mura’s forthcoming 1/48 F-4G. Still no info on release date but probably the second half of 2022.

Just saw an updated tweet. The prototype and display is at their showroom in Ōsaka, until tomorrow evening.

This package artwork is commissioned to our familiar Mr. Adam Tooby from UK, who used to belong to the 81st Tactical Fighter Squadron of the 52nd Fighter Wing located in the Spangdahlem Air Base of former West German. The design features the decal of Sr.no.69-7268 in 1987 and especially the distinctive personal mark of black panther and the European one camouflage
