Chek Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Thanks gents, for high-lighting areas I for one have no doubt missed without your input. Having said that, the necessity to re-scribe a panel line or two in the interests of commonality is small potatoes, now we've been given the benefits of your research and know what to look for. Hopefully the decal sheet will comply with all requirements (no pressure, Jennings!!!) I hope Hypersonic will also oblige with scaled up M-B Type 5 ejection seats to match the early schemes warriormcv 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warriormcv Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Hi all, are there any further updates on this project or realistic timescales available for release? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warriormcv Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 It's in the works. Neil hasn't given the OK to release any CAD, but I can assure you that it's spectacular. I think it's still early to be talking about dates. I'd call it "preliminary design" right now. Still a very long way to go. Thank you for the update Jennings, its an exciting project for sure and one I'm eagerly awaiting the outcome of All the best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warriormcv Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 On the same topic of 1/32 F-4K/M's, was there any news about the pending resin conversion mentioned in the Summer from Ally? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spooky56 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 The conversions were killed off by the kit announcement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony T Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 I was the Phirst to point out the angled back NLG on the FG.1 and that was conveniently deleted. No sour grapes - they obviously are running a TOP SECRET affair on this and if it means a great kit I'm still first in the queue. Wanting and waiting - should be delicious!

Chek Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 It takes only one pair of eagle eyes to draw attention to what some of us have seen for decades, (and is blindingly obvious when pointed out) but never noticed before, so thanks Tony . Same with the rear empenage - as long as the gauge window was there, I didn't notice the panel line differences despite running my hands over a few airframes.

There is a fully accessible airframe at the Wattisham museum along with an engine on a trolley. http://www.wattishamstationheritage.org/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warriormcv Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Hi all, just nosing through. Are there any thoughts or updates regarding the development of the kit? Harold 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warriormcv Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Here's a Russian site where you can download line drawings of Phantoms: http://www.airwar.ru/other/draw/ http://www.airwar.ru/other/draw/f4fantomkr.html Alburymodeler 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chek Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Hi again Jennings, Will there be such a thing as a 'consultation period': when the CAD renditions are made available to modellers for criticism (in the literary sense) prior to any metal being irrevertably cut? If so (and filtered properly by an informed panel), it may be both extremely helpful to the manufacturer and the beginning of a new era in miniatures design.

Chek Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Nice box art! Very authentic looking, except I've never met a Phantom kit yet that needed nose weight. Tail weight maybe for that pose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
