someone's listening too much white house speeches... BTW thank you HomeBe for the head up

thanks for the head up! i've avoid a similar experience with "ronetshop.xyz" because i cannot find any info on the vendor, neither in the "about us" section...nor using Google!!!

so sad to read this. he'll be missed.

that's indeed what it is.

xmm does something for the ICM kit here .

PhotoEtched templates for airbrushing a wooden-like grain texture.

the short nose and the long nose are not the same in that area. as Z-M got it (pretty close)right on their short nose phantoms, they'll have to change it on their long nose, because there is a difference in between both (like shown in that post here by MoFo) ...but i wouldn't call that "to correct", they'll need to tool new parts, because those parts are different.

i'd rather wait for ICM to do theirs, or wait for a resin conversion for the ICM kits. boxart might be the best you have when buying some of the KittyHawk kits. if this one is like their early MiG-25PD kit, it'll be a dog of a kit to build...

Thank you! exactly my thought... and the most ridiculous of all...is that Z-M WILL CORRECT the aft fuselage on their long nose phantoms...

i don't know, but i'm absolutely sure that there was no change made to the fuselage tooling. i'm not even sure if Z-M have acknowledge yet the shape issue of the aft fuselage of theirs F-4 kits. let's hope they improve it for their long nose phantom series...

the new sprue is from their SK-37E kit. so it has the JA-37 tail.... and AJ-37 canards.(but barely noticeable) but as i'm the owner of a few of those kits, i'll take two... when i'll find it!

awesome diorama ! thank you norbert

1/72 ! that's insane! ...just WoW! (but that's just too small for me! ...i'm a 1/48 guy) can't wait to see one day some 1/48 pin-up to join in, in order to do some "Pin-ups&Planes Calendar" photoshoot diorama with the photographer.

Awesome show, thank you to share!

i can't remember my source, but i remember having read black on white "No Beyond Visual Range" AA missiles for West Germany, it was against their Doctrine, and a wise choice in such cluttered Airspace...
