Beermonster1958 381 Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Was that the price I saw on the box? 75,000 Won? That's under £50! A bargain! I managed to get the Revell original a year or so back for a similar price. John Link to post Share on other sites
colin ritchie 191 Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Agreed that's a good price, the downside is of course the original kit needs a lot more than £50 spent on it to bring it up to something approaching current standards , (New accurate pit, intakes, wheel bays and a new nose ) 2 Link to post Share on other sites

That's a matter of choice for the modeller. I can work with what I'm given! I'm a firm believer in the TLAR (That Looks About Right) principle of modelling! John. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
colin ritchie 191 Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 John I agree to a certain extent , BUT.... Revell F-4 Tweak list That's a LOT wrong , and having built 9 Tamiya F-4s over the years the issues with the Revell are just glaring to me - but each to his own! 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Well, I haven't built a single Tamiya F-4. Completely unaffordable, like every other 1/32 Tamiya kit. I can get two of these for the cost of one Tamiya. Besides, the finished article cannot be mistaken for anything other than a Phantom!! Works for me! Edited February 27 by Beermonster1958 1 Link to post Share on other sites
ocatlub 54 Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 The Tamiya Phantoms are not perfect by any means, but I suspect that most people who buy the Revell Phantom will not be aware or care of it short comings and will build it as it comes out of the box and enjoy it. That list of corrections has been around for sometime and is nothing new and some of it really picky. As a matter of interest I have several of both makes as well as the old 1/32 Revell Phantom made in to late 60's which some people back then made into reasonable example which is what modelling is all about? There are several on ebay at the moment and are priced at more than some of the Tamiya ones. Link to post Share on other sites
