Giorgio N Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 A 1/32 F-4E ? Is this their own or someone else's mould (like Revell) ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colin ritchie Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 I pray it's a new tooling , but realistically I'd put money on a re-pop of the Revell kit with some additional parts such as the AGM-142, but I'd LOVE to be proved wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course I'd be much happier to see a brand new tool, Academy is one of those companies that IMHO offer a very good quality at a good prices Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franky boy Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Does anyone know the lineage of the p-40? Old but still nice amt kit? James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAT69 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 (edited) I'd be willing to bet the 1/32 F-4E is a new tool. Academy has a chance to gain the 1/32 F-4 high ground and I think they'll go for it. Now, whether they'd do a series is another matter altogether.

Academy has the design for a 48th F-4E, the designer himself told me some time ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think it is, the box indicates a price of 75,000 Won that is twice what the other 1/48 Phantoms cost on their website. It's a price more in line with the 1/32 kits, although it would be at the lower end of these.. the F-16s sell for 70,000 while the Hornets are listed at 120,000. I'd have expected a Phantom to have a price more in line with the F-18 than the F-16s. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spruecutter96 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 If it is a 1/48th Phantom, then seems quite an odd choice, considering how saturated that part of the market is.... Hasegawa, Zoeki Mura, Revell, Airfix, Academy themselves. (earlier F-4 models), etc. I'd be very happy for a really good 1/32 F-4E, but it will be £100+, with the Academy name on the box. Chris.

stalal Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Academy's 1/48 Phantom is perhaps the best kit of Phantom in the market in terms of details and contents in the box. I believe their 1/32 Phantom will be new tool. But surprisingly, the versions of Phantoms they have covered in 1/48, it looked natural their next kit will be F-4E in that scale. However, the F-4E is going to be 1/32. Thats strange! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackman Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 D-Corporation (from Korea) did once release the Revell 1/32 Phantom for a ROK aircraft : https://forum.largescaleplanes.com/index.php?/topic/52331-132-d-corp-rokaf-f-4e/ https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/corporation-revell-32-4e-phantom-ii-o-250114584 Not sure if Academy goes the same route. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not in Korea though: their most expensive 1/48 kits retail for 40,000, the F-4E would be almost twice as much Regarding Academy reboxing any Revell kit, tinking about it I have to correct my previous comment... yes, they very recently reboxed the Revell 1/48 F-86D 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 New tool P-40N ? Or a re-pop of the Hobbycraft or AMT molds ? If so I need one for a custom build Ive got decals on order already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
politicni komisar Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Absolutely sure this will be an AMT and Revell USA mold. 100% P.k 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gioca Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 (edited) Usually even Korean name as Academy makes great publicity about a 100% new tool ... the fact no indication of new tools and so on in this advertise make me thinking nothing is really new, simply rebox.
