trickyrich Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Am very excited as these lovelies arrived today! 🥰 They are the final piece for my VF-31 builds. These are long since out of production and near impossible to find as I found out....plus are frightened expensive, they cost more than the model and AM bits I have so far!!!! The reason I wanted them so much is the VF-31 bird is a MiG Killer which saw VF-31 to become the only US Navy squadron to score kills in all three major conflicts it was involved in, WWII, Korea, and Vietnam. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though Ive usually seen both Egg planes and Toon tanks in builds before, so it is possible. Edited January 1, 2021 by Corsairfoxfouruncle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnson Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Just love Phantoms! Please can you add me to the list? Walking along the Loughrigg Terrace above Grasmere in the Lake District in 1980. Two RAF Phantoms fly down the lake below us! Happy Days! Not quite sure what yet. The stash contains, er, rather too many 1/72 Phantoms; 2 Fujimi, Airfix, Hasegawa. But the latest addition; Robin Olds F-4C by Hobby 2000 - Vietnam Aces 1 (Hasegawa rebox) is what I fancy. Cheers! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trickyrich Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 ok peoplezzzzz........ tim for some pure plastic po#n!!! I already showed @helios16v .... being a family site I can't say what he did, but he nearly broke his phone! After an atrocious start to the week my lovely courier left this one for me!! Zoukei-Mura's super limited edition end of service F-4EJ!🥰 the decals are insane, they have a slight metallic look/finish to them Plus seeing it was a very limited release they included a special pin with each model, there were 4 different styles/colours, I was lucky enough to get one that matches the scheme! finally a quick look at the sprue as we see some new ones that'll be for the later models that are coming. here is a lot of "extra" parts in the box already for coming models! (F-4E LHS, F-4EJ RHS) 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg B Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Mine turned up yesterday along with another one for one of the blokes for the club. Nice innit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickyrich Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 those decals look amazing, no plans to build mine for a while (got tooooo many Tomcats to build now, just bought another one! ) so it'll have pride and place in the stash main shelf! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, really nice but as typical I prefer the Yellow retirement scheme. Same with the Luftwaffe Phantoms, I was lucky enough to see them a couple of days before they retired and I preferred the Norm 81 scheme! Just got to finish the C model now. Canopy seals masked tonight, just got decals left now 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theplasticsurgeon Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Narrowing my options initially, to this Hasegawa F-4E, Huge thanks Iain Penden for Esci Israeli Phantom decals. My plan is to build this kit as Israeli F4E 618 of 201 Squadron. This aircraft was shot down by Syrian AAA on 13 Oct 1973, over the Golan Heights during Yom Kippur, crashing into the Med. both crew recovered. Hopefully There are parts in the kit for the Midas gun fairing. Yom Kippur was many years before Israel developed air-refueling for Phantoms. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klr Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 I have provisionally set aside two kits for this GB: 1985 vintage Revell (Monogram) USN F-4J, reissued a couple of years ago: Revell RF-4E "Tigermeet". The original F-4E tooling is from 1997, this was released in 2006. Aircraft with a regular camouflage scheme can also be built from this kit (which may be just as well ...)

Dansk Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Tamiya’s new tool could make an appearance in time for the GB... https://www.scalemates.com/kits/tamiya-61121-mcdonnell-douglas-f-4b-phantom-ii--1328414 Item: 61121 1/48 McDonnell Douglas™ F-4B Phantom II™ Famed Aircraft in Scale! F-4Bs were the first Phantom II aircraft to see active service; powered by twin jet engines, they could carry significant ordnance and were used by the Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps through the Vietnam War. Here is a triumphant entrance into the extensive 1/48 Aircraft Series for the Phantom II with this model. *Images show prototype with panel lines accented. *Transparent canopy parts are partly painted. Accurate depiction of the complex form is based on research of the actual aircraft. Outer wings can be assembled folded or extended, and right and left tailplane move in concert. Choose between open and closed canopy, and expanded or stored refueling probe and boarding ladder. https://www.tamiya.com/japan/featuredreleases_early2021.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
