I also received my replacement from Andreas yesterday, but was let off by the step still there. Thanks for clarifying how to get rid of this, as it was a bit anoying to say the least to find it still there.

Nice result though

Nice

Nice! The last one is a configuration I consider for my next A-7

TISEO was only installed on FY71, 72, 73 and 74 versions of the Phantom. Most F-4E's flying in VietNam was FY67, 68 and/or FY69, although as already mentioned some FY71 may have been fighting around 1972. As for 555TFS, they were equipped with F-4D's until wars end, however units usually loaned aircraft from oneanother - as an example 2 of Richie's kills were in F-4E 67-0362, aircraft assigned to the 58TFS but flown by Ritchie (555TFS).

Space Tiger, As already stated, the slats were introduced during the last year of the VietNam war. It is hence not possible to make such an assumption - you must instead check your references as it most likely varied between various jets, sharkmouth or no sharkmouth.

The slats are a modification to the F-4E that only appeared towards the end of the war in VietNam as Finn says. Originally the F-4E didn't have the slats. The process of updating the F-4E fleet to all-slated wings took some time, but all were completed by mid-70's from what I know.

Andreas Klein is usually very serious about his business, and I have trust that he takes the necessary action Until I hear more I trust that we all give them the benefit of doubt.

I am not saying "buyer beware", and exactly for this reason have I not posted any updates - I was however holding off on posting an update this until I had received the replacements. Honestly my experience was originally positive with good dialogue and quick response. But after nearly 3 months without anything arriving it is allowed to raise an eyebrow.

Funny you bring this up, as I contacted them in late may, and was promissed a replacement. As I've bought one set before this last one, I also requested replacement for the first - which was granted. Come late June, and still nothing received. The friend in Israel promissed to resend but to date nothing has been received. Hence I have sent a reminder with copy to Andreas Klein of Airdoc who is the other half of Wingman team. Still waiting for a response......

...and I have a spare set of both tailband and squadron and wing badge you can inherent :) Send me your address by PM
