So, it is fully premature to consider a release date. Hopefully, somewhere next year. As a comparison, the full test shot of the Fouga Magister is waiting for commercial release for four years! So, wait and see ... Bill Cross and RNoAF 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Cross Posted Wednesday at 03:50 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 03:50 PM (edited) Since there are some questions about the construction and molding, I'm comfortable with RP taking their time to get it all right. It's not like I have nothing to do.... Edited Wednesday at 03:54 PM by Bill Cross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony T Posted Wednesday at 06:56 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 06:56 PM It's starting to look very very nice. If I only get to buy an F-4B before snuffing out I'll die happy. Equally great, we should get some new seriously researched super accurate decals as a spin-off from this range, though I'd settle for reprints of Eli's two F-4J decal sets. I'm also wondering if any of the parts might be used on the old Tamiya kits, to give them an uplift. They could sure use it if some of the sprues are sold separately as spares.

It's a fine set, but life is too short to **** with conversions. There are enough great kits right OOB (plus my usual $100-$200 in upgrades ).

There are enough great kits right OOB (plus my usual $100-$200 in upgrades ). I have the Sundowners F-4B sheet and was selfishly wishing for the F-4J ones Eli did which I let slip by. Wanting to do VF-74 on America, 1972. Early days yet, but I'd be surprised if VF-111 Sundowners wasn't featured on the set Red Pills Models eventually do. I have the Cutting Edge F-4B conversion but expect it'll be surplus when this new model emerges. I couldn't bring myself to butchering a perfectly good F-4J, mostly grinding back the lower wing wheel well bulges. Tony Bill Cross 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastterry Posted 16 hours ago Share Posted 16 hours ago I have a Tamiya F-4J (with lots of aftermarket) in the to do pile and I fear that that may be it for Phantoms for me as I reckon this kit will be North of AUD$300 which is beyond my present budget. It's a shame as there are lots of nice schemes for F-4B Phantoms. Still it will save shelf space for the other multitude of kits I think I'm going to build.
