DaveJL Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Hello all, Given that 2021 will be 40 years since the last F-4 rolled off the production line, how about a Phantom GB to mark the occasion? Any variant, any nation, any colour! I myself have 6 to choose from - F-4G, F-4E Hellenic Air Force, F-4C USAF, RF-4EJ JASDF, F-4E ROKAF, FGR.2....

theplasticsurgeon Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 I've got 3 in the stash - count on my support. Hasegawa F-4E Thunderbirds, Edited 12 Jan 2021. I've just received Esci Israeli Phantom decals - thanks @iainpeden. My plan is to build this kit as Israeli F4E 618 of 201 Squadron. This aircraft was lost on 13 Oct 1973, over the Golan Heights during Yom Kippur, crashing into the Med. both crew recovered. Airfix FG1, Fleet Air Arm, Fujimi F-4M RAF Green/Grey camo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helios16v Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Well crap.....better put me down. I've been chatting w/ @Col. about my RF build and ended up doing a tally (Scalemates inventory).....I thought I had 9. Wrong. 14. And I found some decals that really caught my interest...for a 1/72 E. Of which out of the 14 kits i have...I do not have an E (not counting RFs) in any scale. And wouldn't you know it, my LHS happens to have one, in a multi-box w/ an RF-4E. So someone might be making a trip back down there this weekend since they have an unused giftcard. Because who wouldn't want a couple more Phantoms..... 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andwil Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Put me down for one as well. Probably an Israeli F4-E AW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickyrich Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 I'm really not a fan of these GB/STGB # 15 billon, but in this case I do have a couple for those fine Academy 1/48th beasties in the stash, along with a Hasegawa RF-4E......and hopefully soon a Zoukei-Mura F-4E (they're taking forever to release!!)..... ....... so I don't really have an excuse not to sight up for this one. Of course it'll be either a VF-31 bird or an Israeli one....or maybe a Luftwaffe F-4F if someone (Academy/Zoukei-Mura) does a proper updated model. Oh the Israeli bird would be the special F-4E(S) "Peace Jack" version, which had the monster camera in the nose! @DaveJL you might need to get a list started...and some sedatives for @helios16v Chris, as he seems to be getting a bit excited! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's all right. I'm still trying to get this one phinished up. These came home from the LHS before the forced closure... Though reading up on the EJ...they won't work for the Turkish Es, as the EJ don't use the slatted wings that all but the early Es used. So I still don't have the right base kit. Oh well, guess I'll have to add another 1 or 2. Haha. Edited March 30, 2020 by helios16v 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JOCKNEY Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Not normally my cup of tea but im sure, I've got the Frog one lurking in the stash, it would be just plain rude not to build it in this GB. I think I've also got a blooming great Monogram1/48 one, another late night evilbay purchase most likely ! https://www.scalemates.com/kits/monogram-5805-us-navy-f-4j--159264 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Poultney Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Sounds like a good group build, I'd like one of the Airfix navy ones, British markings of course. Would go nicely alongside my buccaneer which I'll be building soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FortyEighter Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Count me in; two 1/48 F-4Js in the stash - Academy "Jolly Rogers" and Hasegawa "Liberty Bell" though the latter would probably end up as a 74 Sqn bird. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bootneck Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 I have a 1:144 Phantom FG.1/FGR.2 kit by C2D that I'd like to do........ if I can maintain the patience to wait for the GB! cheers, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arniec Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 I am in. I have got a few in the stash. would be a waste not to build one. Maybee I will be doing a Iranian version. Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Well I’ve got decals for a F-4J in “Be-Devilers” markings. and I now have to build an F-4B and convert it to a VMFP-3 RF-4B. Since the Hase kit self destructed on many. Also an early VF-84 build from the ‘65 cruise would be a great possibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
