Starfighter Jock Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Seems that HK Models has fallen silent on ever producing the 1/32 UK F-4K/M and the US Navy F-4B. Newly tooled F-4s in 1/32 would certainly be welcomed and I would think a strong seller. KJ David66 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starfighter Jock Posted February 22, 2017 Author Share Posted February 22, 2017 Have not seen any kind of news that the project is moving forward with HK?, curious if there is any word out there on the project status.

phoenix 54 Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 As a Brit / Limey / Pommie B*****d! and having waited decades for an F-4K / M I'm in the "No news is GOOD news" camp! Paul TaffyMan, phantomdriver and David66 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kagemusha Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Patience!! Iain Indeed, remember when companies published a yearly catalogue, then you heard nothing until said new kit was released? David66 and LSP_K2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgbgtv8steve Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Neil of HK Models is a man of his word - if he says he's going to produce a Brit 'Toom in 1/32 scale, then he will! It's just a matter of when his very busy schedule allows. I know I'll be happy whenever it comes! Patience is a virtue, possess it if you can - good things come to he who waits! In the meantime, Tan Models is publicising CAD of their "series" of F.4s mainly based around the F.4E and its variants. That should keep we "PhantomPhanatics" happy while we wait for the 'Holy Grail' of 'Tooms, the Spey powered variants! Keep living the dream! Steve S.

wunwinglow Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 I can't wait. But I'm going to have to...... It will arrive when it arrives. Not a split second beforehand!! David66 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony T Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Patience is a commendable virtue if you're young, but a luxury few older people can afford. Hoping to see it before snuffing it. Tony Dragon, MikeMaben, TaffyMan and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Patience!! Iain Absolutely. Just because HK doesn't make weekly announcements regarding their status (and who does), that in no way shape or form, means that they're making no progress.

KOG7777 Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Is the Phantom scheduled before the early P-51 that was talked about before? Because I'm more interested in the P-51. LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starfighter Jock Posted February 22, 2017 Author Share Posted February 22, 2017 Last posting regarding the F-4s on Hong Kong Models Facebook page was October 9, 2015, project was never announced as a go but in the planning stages. Since Zoukei-Mura has released their F-4J in 1/48 and has announced the F-4S in 1/48 this summer, have no idea if ZM will release the F-4 series in 1/32. Either or, would be most welcomed.

Guest Smitty44 Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 (edited) I think I remember him saying the Lanc was priority number one and was up next, but I could be and often am wrong.

LSP_Kevin Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 As far as I'm aware, all of the announced projects are still going ahead. With the B-17E/F kit now out the door, I've been told the next kit out will be the 2-stage Merlin Mosquito, possibly followed by the two-seat Do 335. This is low-hanging fruit for HK, which helps them continue to exist and work on the Lancaster, the Phantom, and the early Mustang.
