Zola25 Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 (edited) Hi All I will chip in with this one.. It will be the Tamiya F-4EJ kit, Wolfpack "Kai" conversion set, Kopecky Exhaust & rear end, DXM Decals, DN Models paint mask - and what else I can put together I need to finish my ongoing F-16 build before I can get to this one so I will likely not start until 2023 /Niels Edited March 31, 2023 by Zola25 Alain Gadbois, BradG, Stokey Pete and 16 others 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greif8 Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 That will look very fetching once completed. The jets to be built in this thread certainly have very colorful schemes! Ernest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I look forward to seeing your take on it. I have been wanting to do this for a while - I even had DN Models make a custom order for the paint masks. They have since then released them in 1/32 Who knows - If I am fast enough I may even squeeze in the F-15DJ Green Dragon before the deadline Niels Edited December 5, 2022 by Zola25 Greg W and themongoose 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zola25 Posted January 15, 2023 Author Share Posted January 15, 2023 So... its time to get this build started. I have dug out all the stuff I have for this build and started to organize myself. I have been planning to build this aircraft for quite some time and I would have built it even without this group build - but now seems like a perfect time to dig into it.. I will use the Tamiya F-4EJ kit and spice it up using: Wolfpack F-4EJ kai conversion set Aerocraft canopy set Kopecky models, rear end and exhausts Sparkit ejection seat (might be the best aftermarket set I have ever seen.. a bit pricey though..) Eduard Brassin Wheels Cross Delta formation lights DXM Decals DN Models paint mask .... I am very busy at work in 2023 so it might be some time between updates, but I hope you will follow along and see how this turns out /Niels BradG, Anthony in NZ, LSP_Kevin and 11 others 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themongoose Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 Definitely looking forward to this. I have the same kit with a different decal set and may end up spending some more money on it after watching your build Zola25 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alain Gadbois Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 (edited) Nice set of goodies you have there, and the paint scheme you chose is truly spectacular! I’m curious about the clear resin cockpit parts. What improvements do they bring compared to the kit parts?

Alain Hi Alain The Tamiya F-4 kits are quite problematic in this area as the clear parts have to be attached to the entire framing in plastic. Its a tricky joint to keep clean and also ensure that the clear parts dont end up having "frosted" areas when removing them from the sprue. I have not used the resin set before but at first glance it is a much desired improvement. I will try to include some pictures showing the difference later.. /Niels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greif8 Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 That is quite a haul of AM Niels! This should be an epic build! Ernest Zola25 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alain11 Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Hi WOW !! phantastic paint scheme !!!! I like !!!! just a word about the "sparkit " seat .... very nice details indeed !! , but you will have to trim the seat base , which is a bit too wide ( too bad for the details here ... they wont be seen ) and a bit too long for the front cockpit .... but you have time to think about it ..... they are fragile , and " hard " to remove the block cast ........I will follow your WIP with interest ... Alain if you allow ... and for interested people Greif8, patricksparks, Gazzas and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zola25 Posted January 16, 2023 Author Share Posted January 16, 2023 oh wow you have really done a great job there - yes, those seats are just amazing. I was gazing at them this weekend and I could hardly believe what I was seeing.. Thanks for the input. I will take care when the time comes /Niels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
