ruudster Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 6 hours ago, Chrisj2003 said: Gave in Sunday, bought a vanilla Kai, from UK shop, arrived this morning. so much better than Hasegawa. The intakes, the exhausts, the cockpit, even the large instruction sheet that understands I am going to add the breakable bits at the end. Chris I got my "early Vietnam" boxing from HLJ on Monday. The detail... the instructions,... just wow. I built a Hasegawa F-4E a few years ago, never again. I hope the FM decals are thin enough, because they look great and there are a lot of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 And what is in the kit for the RF-4EJ https://www.1999.co.jp/eng/image/10729696 . Interesting that on the new sprue V it includes new instrument panels as well for this version, well done to Finemolds. My kit is on the way from Japan.

Violet Club Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 I hope that the F4B will also follow and why not a F4H (the first Phantom 2) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tbolt Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 I just hope there will be an RF-4C, well and hopefully a RF-4E at some point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttyng0904 Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 The flyer says that the first lot includes pilot figure(tooling by Tamiya, injection by FM). If you missed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stilwell Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 (edited) In addition to the new variants, my interpretation of the flyer is that the initial F-4EJ / F-4EJkai boxings, plus the USAF F-4E, will be getting another production run in June. Supported by the stock state at HLJ changing from Discontinued to Back Ordered. Jonathan. Edited April 12 by Stilwell Edited for typo 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stilwell Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 4 hours ago, Gene K said: as well as the TWO Weapons Sets in August: For some reason, some of the artwork for set FP45 (the bomb set) show it as including a centreline pylon, some do not. Set FP44 (the missile set) show the centreline pylon with the SUU-16 gun pod. Not sure if they are moulded separately of together, but it should't be too difficult to separate them if the latter. Given that the 1:72 Hasegawa kits don't include the centreline or wing outboard pylons (the drop-tank pylons differ from the stores pylons, and stay with the tanks when jettisoned), I took the liberty of ordering some of Fine Molds sets to broaden the options for both my Fine Molds and Hasegawa kit collections.

Robert Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 And you get the AIM-4D Falcons and associated pylons. Regards Robert 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scout712 Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 I am curious about the accuracy of the MK-15 tail units for the MK-82 Snakeyes. No kit manufactuer got them molded correctly so far. And those AAMs would be a good addition if the fins are molded not as thick as Hasegawa did back in the day. B/r Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought the RF-4EJ just a few days ago, went from back ordered to in my private warehouse in 2 days so supply would not seem to be a problem.

Looking to get the F-14A and the F-4EJ. I wonder if the F-4EJ first kit comes with the missiles or empty pylons? During the launch it was shown to have the missiles included.
