A number of their releases are classed as Limited or One-Off Limited so don't expect they will ever be re-released. I think they only have kept releasing the base EJ and EJkai editions.

I just found this thread and the great support from @A-10 LOADER in answering questions. Will be useful for my current build of the GWH 72nd kit. Fantastic community. Craig

Yes I see that in the video too, they just keep getting better.

I will like to see their suggestions for paint for the Norm 81 scheme. Not easy to match. And the F-4F boxing is listed as "LIMITED" while the E release does not say that. Another obvious marketing ploy to divide us from our money. 🤭

Unfortunately, 72nd scale subjects take a backseat to everything else here on ARC. I will always keep room for a few more FineMolds kits.

FineMolds president and a project manager discuss the latest releases. Auto translate feature works well. And this at the end......

It would be easy enough to modify an existing font to match, with a Affinity or Adobe application. @BWDenver are you looking at printing the decals on a clear paper?

First sprues of the "coming soon" B/N release.

Everything looks to great to have the kit ready for release the end of December. FineMolds are almost always on time with deliveries. Photos from FineMolds X account.

This looks quite nice. As posted on X by finemolds_news.

I think everyone is interested how the windscreen/canopy will look. First glimpse. Posted on X by finemolds_t .

Initial shake down complete. A success. Actually, just a curious modeller checking out the fit of parts on the test kit. FM zero.mp4

FM will also revise the MLG strut.

CAD detail image on X, provided by finemolds_t . A change in the wing, other than of being the thin version, the open speed brake option deviation from previous releases.

Well there you have it. F-4B/N. Should make a couple of people happy. Well, happier.

From finemolds_t on X (Twitter) with a Google translation. "The assembly direction is decided at the design stage, but when actually putting it together, it often turns out differently than imagined. From here, we will create the instructions"

A bit surprised they are following so quickly.

Really well done, not too heavy on the weathering. I like it. Craig

Beautiful build. NMF usually scares off most modellers, but you've finished this to a professional level. Congratulations.

Yes, 1999 aka Hobbysearch is an excellent resource for kit instructions.

More goodies announced from FineMolds, sorry I can not translate at this time.

Did you check the Res-kit page? https://reskit-models.com/index.php?route=product/search&search=f-35&ocf=F16S2V3607417149

FineMolds has announced that the first boxings of the C kit are missing parts tree "E". Customers are asked to contact FineMolds to arrange for replacement part. As well this is their holiday schedule. "As of December 28th, business has ended for the remainder of 2023. We will be open for business from the 5th of the new year, but responses to inquiries, requests for parts, and mail order shipments will be available from the 9th onwards. Please refer to the information in the source post regarding the missing runners for the “F-15 C Fighter” kit."
