I generally prefer the long nose Phantoms over the short nose variants as there are more variations in operators and paint schemes. I'm also not really a fan of the colourful USN schemes. That said, when Tamiya released a Phantom I was always going to build it, even if it was a F-4B. This is the finest engineered kit I've built to date, and yes it's better than the F-14, which until now was at the top. The detail in the F-4B is better than the F-14's as well. I expect the F-35's are better but I have zero interest in that subject from a modelling perspective. . Tamiy

perhaps there is a frangible cover that goes over the pod until the first rocket is fired?

There's no way it will be under $100 USD. Just can't see it for the size and what people are expecting detail wise based on other new Kinetic kits I expect it will be closer to, or even over $200 without an interior . I agree having a separate interior kit is a good idea.

All of those look excellent.

Nice stuff there

For the D I'd say Kinetics - when they release one (I know the next boxing is Block 30/40/50)

Nice work so far

You must be doing something wrong I contacted them a few weeks ago and got a response after about 15 mins. And I'm in Australia. Try spares@airfix.com As for Tamiya, well my experience with them in Australia is that they have no customer service. You have to contact the distributor and they often aren't interested in helping.

Looking for Differences in Type 1 and Type 2 Exhaust for Super Hornets
a4s4eva replied to Brad-M's topic in Jet Modeling
From what I understand, either is fine and the aircraft have have one of each. So if you have a specific aircraft/ timeframe in mind best look for photos (or not worry) 😄 . -
Nice job

Hi all. I have recently completed the Hobby Boss F/A-18E kit. I know this actual jet wasn't as weathered as I have modeled but I wanted to do a relatively heavily weathered low viz aircraft so accuracy in that department went out the window. I used Aires Exhausts, Eduard bombs and some buts from the Meng kit. decals are from Furball Full details are at My Blog
