Chek Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 For those who like to catalogue great photos like the one Brian posted above, its FG1 XT875 'K' of 43 Sqn and was one of a series taken from the KC-135 tanker in September 1980.

A340 Pilot Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 (edited) This made my day! I'll definitely acquire an RAF version, and if the J-79 emerges as an F-4B, I'll have a further 2 kits!

LSP_K2 Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Welcome news indeed for the Rhino lovers amongst us. HK is to be commended for taking these on, I'm sure they'll do well. Derek B and andromeda673 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andromeda673 Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Bloody A Right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so stoked about this!!!!!!! HK = Big Thank You! now please crank up a P-51B! David66 and Derek B 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 (edited) Its a Brit-toom................and there are a LOT of folks out there who know them in and out, EVERY rivet.......................... Im hoping against hope that HKM follows suit with their previous MO of listening to those in the know, so the kit comes out right, and we dont have a landscape festooned with nay-sayers before it even hits the market. No one is perfect, and as such would never expect the kit to be. But Im sure there are those who are expecting close to that since they know the air-frame so well. Even if something is wrong, on outward appearance HKM seems to have adopted a policy of making changes when/if needed. That IMHO is a great sign.

Pavel Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Great new!!! And we can imagine Xtradecals will make several decal sheets for Brit Phantoms. I think I´ll buy several kits to cover different schemes! Harold and Derek B 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pavel Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 (edited) Not to mention fündekals, who already has them underway Great!! I thought fündekals make only WWII subjects. More Phantom decals, It´s better for us. Thanks a lot Edited October 6, 2015 by Pavel Derek B 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andromeda673 Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 face it, someone will find something to nit pick about, and then proceed to get on the forums and trash the idea, just saying. It will be "why didn't they do it this way" or "They should have done it this way" or my favorite "I can't believe". That's always a good one right there. Hell yeah to HKM and guys should be blowing up their email and customer service line with praise and thanks! David66, Derek B and Tony T 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pavel Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 And we can´t forgot Eli from Zotz. For sure he will release excelent sheet too as always. What do you think Eli? andromeda673 and Derek B 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 This is just phantastic news and I'll be getting 2-3 kits at least. I'm hoping that a nice set of matra rocket pods will come with these kits too for a classic FGR loadout. A Gun pod maybe two but at least their are some nice AM ones on the market. Awesome announcement though.....! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royboy Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 I was only just talking about this last night to a couple of my other friends, funny that ! I think Neil from HK knows that the J79 version HAS to be the F-4B, now I can do my Bi-Centennial birdie at long last!!! Great news, still can't wait for that Lancaster next year too. Life is good. andromeda673 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royboy Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Yes, the VX-4 Birdie is the one I've always wanted to do. A nice new F-4B with those markings on it would look very nice I think! Thanks for the added info though, interesting how some of these machines were played with throughout their careers. BTW, All my Tam F-4J's are fully booked for other stunning markings so a nice new version will do very nicely. Tally - Ho! David66 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony T Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Are you designing HKM's Spey Toom decals Jennings ? Would be nice to know they're in safe hands. Apart from the obvious joy of an option or two from 892 NAS on the Ark - well, actually, there isn't another option IMHO. Tony David66 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
