Hasegawa F-4Ej /72 (Old Tool) with Target Dart


Recommended Posts

Hi Guys,

 

My recent project an old tool Hasegawa F-4EJ, the kit had lots of problem from fit to gaps and need some dedication, the biggest problem was aligning the air intake, and I can't sand much either as the details have already worn out a little sanding the details would go away. I added some cockpit details with some resin seat and borrowed part from elsewhere, I used some plastic card to fill the gap and sanded it, it is not perfect but I am okay with it, the greatest attraction of the kit was price. For marking I choose 37-8321 Mitshubishi F-4EJ of 304 Hikotai, carrying the RMU-10A reel pod with the TDU-10B target tug. Marking in high visibility orange. The squadron marking was almost gone so I masked and painted it.  Also, I got a nice F-4EJ reference book and helped me out a lot.
So here it is, thank you for looking, cheers

Defenders of Nippon: F-4Phantom II

Published by Kaburaya Books in 2002

 

There is no ISBN number I am afraid.

The book is a series of colour profiles which according to the authors have all been checked against photographic evidence with no guess work.

 

I believe the authors, Peter Fearis, Peter Scott and Glenn Sands are, or were, members of the IPMS (UK) Japanese aircraft Special Interest Group.
