Kagemusha Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 The second sprue shot looks like one from their Sufa kit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marky sparky Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Nice. Nothing really fundamentally wrong with the Revell kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colin ritchie Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colin ritchie Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 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! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ocatlub Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kagemusha Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Does this mean it's coming with a hard wing option? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mungo1974 Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 Guess it'll include the hard wing parts from the old Revell Germany RF-4C/E boxing for the Vietnam era and Japanese decal options Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that would depend on which tooling you meant by old RF-4C kit. If you are referring to the 1969 tooling then yes it is a significantly improved kit. If you are referring to the RF-4E kit first released by Revell Germany in 1994 then no it's not significantly improved since the Revell RF-4E/C and F-4E/F/G all use the same rear fuselage and center wing sections as well as most of the little parts. Revell/Monogram and Revell Germany just swapped out nose, wing tips, stabilizers, weapons, seats and cockpit parts to get the particular version they wanted to release. 23 hours ago, mungo1974 said: Guess it'll include the hard wing parts from the old Revell Germany RF-4C/E boxing for the Vietnam era and Japanese decal options I don't see why not.

Colin, you are not kidding...that is A LIST...but yep maybe TLAR is something that works for most of us. I stick to the Tamiya one though... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colin ritchie Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 I've said all I'm going to say about the plastic in the kit , but those Decals are something else, absolutely beautiful with some great options 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
