Okinawa09 Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 I am looking for a Tamiya F-4E late kit. I'd like to convert an 4-4J into an F-4S. Therefore I need the wing ot an F-4E late. Anybody how can help me ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DONG Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Tamiya never made a 1/32 slatted wing "E" kit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JasonB Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 (edited) No such kit, Tamiya never released a slatted wing F-4 of any model. OOP Conversion from CE or using the Revell F-4E parts are your best bet, though from what I have read I would go with the Revell parts. Tha kit is readily available, cheaper than you will ever find the CE conversion, and unless you just have to have the inner slats deployed, an easier conversion than the hack job the CE set would require.

Dave Williams Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 The only 1/32 Tamiya F-4E kits are the early version and the F-4EJ, which is the same kit with Japanese markings and a couple of new bits like late model Sidewinders and a revised top rear instrument panel. Both are hard wing only. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zerosystem Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 wolfpack is supposed to be releasing the slat parts from their ej kai conversion at some point, so you might be able to just grab a set of those and work from a standard tamiya f-4j kit. you wouldn't have to do much cutting at that point. hth -peter Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What is in the set is dropped leading edge FLAPS. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
