I feel their F-4 series had the most shallow panel lines, with most of their other releases having having slightly deeper lines. @ya-gabor is correct, they are tailoring their kits to domestic preferences.

Coming here real late. But absolutely amazed at your commitment to detail. Thanks for sharing your hard work and will look forward to your posts in the future.

Joycraft.ca are working on a slat/flaps deployed wing set. Plans are for all hardwing versions, so far pictures of the thin wing sets, again in development. Check their Facebook page.

In case anyone has not seen this link. The kit instructions are up. https://www.tamiyausa.com/media/files/60795ml-1510-40cb.pdf

Fine Molds created a spot on the engine/intake assembly that supports the wings, to allow for proper fit and wing anhedral angle.

New video up. Auto-translate works reasonably well. Excellent close up of actual parts.

Thank you @MoFo, your way ahead of us.

Nice find @MoFo . I have my E but never studied the instructions that well. My Tarot cards are saying a spring announcement for the S is coming.

Good news, the FineMolds F-4F shipments have been bumped up to September 12.

An E tree to behold........ https://x.com/finemolds_t/status/1943100302988890233

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.
