eoyguy Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 It also has a few small extra parts like TISEO and antennas, but nothing too spectacular to justify it over Revell, unless you really want the decals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony T Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 Go for the Tamiya F-4E 'Early Production' kit with AM resin inlets and jetcans. The lack of Vietnam era stores in the Academy/Revell is the least of one's problems. Let's hope that Phantom Phreaks & Sprue Bros can give us a great all-new F-4.

Apparently they are planning on releasing an all new line, but muddied the waters a bit by putting out a release of a reboxed Revell RF-4C under their brand. Terrible marketing if they are releasing an all new tooled line of kits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark B. Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 (edited) Well they only promised new tool fighter variants (F-4B/C/D/E/F/J/N/S and possibly British F-K/M). Maybe this was a way to kick start interest? Edited September 15, 2021 by Mark B. spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe this was a way t o kick start interest? Who, Academy? Or have we jumped the thread to talking about the Phantom Phreaks kits? If we’re talking the latter, it seems like announcing new kits and then releasing a rebox of the Revell kit kick starts confusion more than interest.

BTW They (Sprue Bros, Phantom Phreaks, and or the remnants of TAN) started this whole thing. I mean they (not sure if it is Dr. They or not) announced a whole new Phamily of 1/32 scale Phantoms and what shows up on the table at the IPMS USA National show in Vegas... a reboxed Revell RF-4C with a new decal sheet... And the RF-4C was not even mentioned the original announcement. Just saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
