Sorry I was referring to the two manufactures who in the process of a Phantom series, so I meant 1/72nd for Fine Molds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABeck Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 OK, I was just kidding, sorry. But some years ago Raymond Chung rather bluntly considered doing some iconic F-planes. They are eversellers. I would consent to it - as long as decisive ideas (parts break, canopy front) and detail is on pair with Tam´s kit - apart from the price. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wishI had more room for 1/48th Phantom and other jets, but I have to limit myself in that scale and I'm running out of room for the stash! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWS48-15 - McDD F-4E Phantom II - late variant https://hobby.ec.volks.co.jp/item/4518992232461.html Pre-Order Period: February 23, 2024 - April 7, 2024 (JST) Release Date: Scheduled for Spring 2024 Quote Zoukei-mura SWS "F-4 Long Nose" is now available! The later version of the F-4E, an improved version of the F-4D, is finally available, equipped with the M61A1 20mm Vulcan cannon as the first fixed equipment in the extended nose. The leading edge flap was changed to a movable slat in order to further improve air combat performance than the previous model, which adopted a hard wing with a fixed leading edge flap. This is a point that distinguishes it from the earlier model in appearance. A gunblast diffuser has been added to the machine gun muzzle. Additionally, later versions had AN/ALR-46 RHWR antennas attached to the wing tips. Even the electro-optical target identification sensor (TISEO) on the leading edge of the inner left wing, which was adopted in some late models, and the AN/ARN-101 antenna fairing on the back of the fuselage are flawless. Keep an eye on the ever-growing SWS "F-4" series! V.P. Edited February 19 by Homebee 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
