Red Dot Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 hi all, Here's my model of the Zoukei Mura 1/48 F-4EJ Kai Phantom in the markings of JASDF 301 Squadron at the end of service for Phantoms with this unit. The kit is built entirely from the box except for the pilots and the wiring behind the rear instrument panel. In itself, it is miles ahead of the Hasegawa Phantom kits in terms of detail, engineering and fit but it is not a perfect model by any means. The assembly of the intakes and their associated trunking leaves an internal gap which cannot be filled, even with difficulty; the outer wings don't fit particularly well and need fettling; and in this boxing, the fuel tank decals don't fit well either. However, with lessons learnt, i would definitely make another. I hope you enjoy the photos Andy 62 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used some from Hasegawa kits and did a bit of surgery to get them to fit in the cockpit! Thanks for all the nice comments Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
