Strenghten it! My advise after repair. Happy modelling Thanks for the advice dov, but I don't have the metal gear. This kit contains the plastic version, and I don't have had a bad experience with that. My previous Phantom was also a Hasegawa kit with plastic landing gear, no problem...but thanks anyway mate!

Jos Jansen 428 Posted March 3 Author Share Posted March 3 (edited) Black Primer from Gunze Mr Surfacer 1500...but, I forgot one thing that was mentioned by a modeling mate. Those bulges on top of the wings doesn't belong on IAF F-4E's only on USN and USMC versions... Edited March 3 by Jos Jansen 1 Link to post Share on other sites

That thing sounds like a beast Yes, p.5 through 9 of the book are dedicated to the Super Phantom. All Double Ugly Phantom pholumes are excellent, highly recommended!
