Roger that reference the lines. Many have been impressed with the items for their scale models from these folks. If linking is permitted..,..( https://anyz.io/shop ) Note: I am not affiliated with them. Just passing on intel on some decent purpose built model enhancement products that you typically don't see elsewhere unless you have the time to make your own similar parts. ***Where did you get those resin auxiliary engine cooling bays? I want to obtain some for my own Tamiya Phantom kits. This has to be one of the best looking model Phantoms I have ever seen...in any scale or brand for that matter. I will certainly refer to it when I get started on my F-4S. Simply outstanding! Stay safe & well Semper Fi, Masterguns

Which brand are these & where did you purchase them? I don't recall you mentioning this. Thanks. Masterguns

Thanks. Semper Fi, Masterguns

Howdy, y’all! AFVAC32004 Have Glass ll anti-reflective coating set: What is the general opinion as to the accuracy of the above listed after market canopy/windscreen set designed for the Trumpeter kit? Is it considered a correction set for the misshapen Trumpeter box stock parts as is (or was) the Squadron offering? I’m wanting to build an A-10C from the IN ANG based at Fort Wayne IAP. Thanks for your help. Have an outstanding day or night! Semper Fi, Masterguns

Unless Quinta was mistaken they told me last week (before I saw this thread) that they will be working on their set for the 1/48 Tamiya F-4B. I don’t think it’s been released & perhaps not even on the table yet if I read their reply correctly. Semper Fi, Masterguns

It’s been a long time since I purchased this kit. Does anyone still make the corrected windscreen for this kit and who is it? Thanks. Semper Fi, masterguns

As always, thanks much, gents! Happy modeling! Semper Fi, Masterguns

See title. Can’t find any pics of a Strike Eagle carrying one on the www opposite of the AIM-120? Thanks! Semper Fi, Masterguns

Roger that & thanks. That is more interesting info to add to my archives. Semper Fi, Masterguns

Other than the bottom front swept back antenna. GPS dome & shimmy dampner, are there any other obvious external mods that someone could pick up on? Any significant changes in the cockpit? Thanks. Semper Fi, Masterguns

Artistic license with the red gear & inside gear doors? Gear is gloss white & only the edge of the inside of the gear doors is painted red. Also, Naval Phantoms did not use external ECM pods like the USAF. Just some friendly observations. Not bashing you. Respectfully. Semper Fi, Masterguns

Those masked markings are absolutely outstanding. Semper Fi, Masterguns

I remember static line jumping out of the hell hole from Broncos! We could fit three Recon Marines “nut to butt” (Marine vernacular for us in bodily positional close quarters) in the back cargo compartment (Marine A & D Models) & the pilot would pull up & out we went. Good times! Sorry for OT. Semper Fi, Masterguns

Chuck, I continue to be in awe of your modeling skills with this build. Looks real nice. Salute!

Nice! I ordered a few sets last week from SHM as they are the only shop that offers the correct scale diameter with the weld marks. No one else offers both of these features that I could find & the recs hear strongly pointed toward the SHM set. Thanks for your article. Semper Fi, Masterguns

Very nice looking set. No doubt about it. However, one pays too much cash for a set where the exhaust diameter is not much larger than the incorrect kit part. Semper Fi, Masterguns

YES. That's about the only place to order them from, unless you get them second hand. Semper Fi, Masterguns

Well, gents...I decided to nab a few sets from Sierra Hotels long nozzles with corrected vents because of the exterior detail that's present & mention of correct diameter. They're a few bones less costly than the other brands, which are all good in their way. I like the effect the kit (or photo etch) burner rings will provide once assembled over the blades. SH doesn't show OOS as of this writing but I wouldn't wait too long if you're in the market for an accurate appearing set of cans. Y'all know it's hard to get stock from SH sometimes. Thanks for ALL the comments & suggestions. I really appreciate the help! Semper Fi, Masterguns

Cool idea. I will have to keep that in mind if I can't more weld detailed cans on the exterior. Thanks. Semper Fi, Masterguns

Thank you, gents!

Thanks, Barry. I appreciate your input.

Roger that. I’ll check out the GT offerings then. I just want correct diameter & the correct detail on the feathers on the the outside of the van. Obviously most of you know that the long cans are not just flat. They have tiny (in the more popular scales) raised square details on them likes the Aires has for example. Thanks for all your responses! Semper Fi, Masterguns

For the Tamiya 1/32 For F-4J. Aires, Eduard/Brassin, GT, Cutting Edge, CAM, maybe more?...What's your opinion as to the most accurate late J79's & correct diameter for the Tamiya kit? I'm thinking about gettting the Brassin sets becauses they have the best castings I've seen so far with their offerings. I know Aires make some nice resin too, but I think I heard they aren't much bigger than the undersized kit parts. The CAM & GT are rough castings from the pics I've seen & lack the external details on the feathers. But resin can usually be cleaned up but I don't want to buy sets that I have to clean up for what I paid. What do you think? I apprieciate any & all input. I don't have all the sets to do a side by side comparison. Is there a thread on this also? Thanks. Semper Fi, Masterguns

I want to see more, Durangokid! You do some awesome work & i'm about to start my Tamiya F-4J. Thanks! Semper Fi, Masterguns

I don't have this set & I don't know what every piece comes with it, but if that's the only side nlg door, then it's not correct for an RF-4. It would be correct correct for an F-4E/F & other foreign air force's nomenclature for their version of gun nose Phantom II. Is that the only side nlg door that comes with the set? I probably missed something so I would presume you know more about the set than I do, obviously. Ourfreakin'stading start for a build of such a beautiful legend of an aircraft! Keep chipping away at it. We can't wait to see it complete! Semper Fi, Masterguns
