Dave Williams Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 (edited) It’s been discussed here before. I believe the consensus is that it’s the Revell F-4E with Korean decals and maybe a couple of new parts. The rear seat sitting too low and skinny nose gear certainly looks like the Revell kit.

Kagemusha Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 As well as a thread on here, there's one on Britmodeller, which shows a new sprue and one from the Sufa included in the kit, Revell in origin. Martinnfb and LSP_K2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I’m going to pay $160 for a Revell F-4E, I’m keeping the ARN-101! And the TISEO too! LSP_K2, Rick Griewski and thierry laurent 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The style of sprue identification tab (the cut out letter) isn’t a style that I’ve seen Revell use. I suspect it was done by Academy, or specifically for Academy. I don’t think Academy would sell that sprue separately as they would rather people buy the whole kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotsman Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 It's a SUFA weapons sprue , Popeye & comms pod and other bits and pieces, and a fairly decent decal sheet , nice but as has been said not really worth £100+, Ah well back to the F-100F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new sprue is shown in the Britmodeler thread. Edited February 7, 2021 by Dave Williams Scotsman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotsman Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Dave I missed that , that really useful addition , but again it just reinforces the need for a late model F-4, I'm getting tired of tying to source add-ons every time I get inspired !

Probably less than 30 minutes of work to make one. Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
