Indeed! 👍 Waiting for the F-4D to be released, so that I can get it shipped together with the recently released F-4J. Might build one of the two in flight, since they have pilots Ciao 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never had the problem but as @iainpeden mentioned, possibly the hardness of the water a culprit. Some use a drop of vinegar in the decal water. Possibly because Micro Set smells like acetic acid? I tried and it didn't make any difference I could see. Maybe that would help in a hard water zone though? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get the J and the C model next week, and then get the Weapons Sets and D model next month. Makes mental and fiscal sense. Gene K 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gene K Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 In stock at HobbyLink Japan and Hobby Search for US $33.66. Going by past performance, these may not last long, so those who hesitate may miss out until TBD re-release. Gene K 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy54 Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Just received my two F-4J's from Plaza and yes I am a happy guy although if I had my choice I would have preferred weapons over the pilots. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gene K Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 The dates for both the Missiles and Bombs Weapons Sets have been announced as 22 September 2021. No set dates yet for The F-4D and Marine F-4J in September. Past Fine Molds announced Phantom and accessory dates have been right on schedule.

Stilwell Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 https://finemolds.co.jp/FP/FP45.html: https://finemolds.co.jp/FP/FP44.html: For a moment there, I was hoping the common sprue provided two sets of outboard pylons. But as only half the outboard pylon parts include the pins to align with the wing undersurface, I guess each outboard pylon is an assembly of two parts.

ICMF Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Wild and probably pointless speculation at this point, but... is it just me, or does that top outline on the pic look an awful lot like a slatted wing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping the same thing, but not a clue in that silhouette since the slatted wing would show the main wing slat actuators at the angle posed. That model would be the next logical step -- a late model F-4E (lots of different countries), leading the an F-4G. Could be an interesting, speculative three weeks, but apparently not on this forum.

But being the Revell kits so good, and especially cheap compared to Fine Molds except perhaps comparing the cockpit, is it advisable to buy the Fine Molds F? For my taste the exterior detail of the Revell kit of the RF-4E (easily convertible into RF-4C) and F-4F is so nice that I think I would not buy the F.M. Andrés S.
