bikerider Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 (edited) I'm in.... Hasegawa FGR.2 RAF No.23 squadron, likely the Port Stanley Falklands Island flight scheme. Found a set of decals on evil-bay the other day that gave me the motivation. Also have the Aires Spey engine exhausts and Eduard color PE. Is that cheating? My cockpit painting skills don't hold water compared to some so that's what I do. Edited March 1, 2013 by kevin.n.home Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Frank Kranick Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 I've got a Hasegawa F-4J that I think would fit the bill; lot's of decals waiting to be applied so I'll have to see what I have. The long length of the build is appealing as I'm glacially slow in building. I'm also a rank amateur here so it could be fun getting to know the ropes. My name's Frank, and I build USN mostly so you won't find me in many other builds, which could help my build time here! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

After you build the kit around 20 times it gets pretty easy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mawz Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 I'm in with a Hasegawa F-4EJ in 1/72, will be building as a Turkish F-4E with TwoBob's decals. A query though, are there two Hasegawa F-4E kits? I was expecting to get engraved panel lines but the kit (a 2008 release, standard boxing F-4EJ) has raised panel lines. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A query though, are there two Hasegawa F-4E kits? I was expecting to get engraved panel lines but the kit (a 2008 release, standard boxing F-4EJ) has raised panel lines. Yep, there's their cheapo old F-4/EJ kit, and their good new kit. I think the older versions come in these boxes, which I think are also smaller than the newer kits' boxes: http://modelingmadness.com/scott/viet/us/standf4bt.jpg http://img0008.popscreencdn.com/124693686_72-f-4ej-phantom-ii-hasegawa-331-ebay.jpg I'm sure someone more knowledgeable than me --not a tall order-- can fill you in on the whole score.

There were a bunch of subjects released from the same mold and they are older(Thunderbirds, 5000th...etc. The F-4EJ was at least released 3 times with the old mold. The 3 in the picture including the F-4F near the upper left and the 6 F-4Es on the right are all old mold. I don't know if they put the old mold kits in the larger boxes. The F-4F in the larger box is new mold. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nicholassagan Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 I have the Aero Dancing EJ kit and it has engraved panel lines. I don't know which boxings it was released under though... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Skinny_Mike Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 I'm in with a Hasegawa F-4J backdated to an F-4B. Lot's of AM on this one. But progress will be slow until I finish my F-16. Skinny Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Spectre711 Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 (edited) I'm 99.9% positive that's the old mold kit with is missiles like in the F-4E and F-4F. Usually the ones in the larger box with the white border and kit title along the bottom are the ne molds. Someone else here might be able to verify this. http://modelingmadness.com/scott/mod/previews/hasegawa/00752.htm is the newer mold and you can see the sprue arrangement.

Gary F Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Signing in with Has F-4D and RF-4C and some XtraDecals. The RF-4 will be the RF-4B kit brought up to AF standards (in 48th). I've also got a 2 Bobs 48th Kara Sahin decal sheet in 48th if anyone wants it for this GB (came in a trade). Free to someone in the US. Outside the US, you pay the shipping.

Stefan buysse Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Hi, Cool, an F-4 GB! I'm in with a 1/48 scale Hasegawa F-4J converted to an F-4B with the Royale Resin set, markings will be for VF-51's Mig-killing CAG-bird using Furball decals. Cheers, Stefan. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

After you build the kit around 20 times it gets pretty easy. Why am I not surprised you would say something like this.;) I've only been here a couple months but have watched you crank for models out in what seems like a day an a half.

Stefan buysse Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Hi, With this GB I hope to graduate from being a Phantom collecting addict to being a Phantom building addict. I have collected stuff for years, but I still need to actually complete an Hasegewa F-4. So, it seems good idea to try my hand at another F-4J in preparation for my holy grail with the CE intakes and Royale Resin conversion. I'll build an F-4J of VF-92 with Fox One decals. Cheers, Stefan. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mike J. Idacavage Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Hi Phellow Phantom Phans! What a great GB. My entry will be a 1/72 QF-4N based on the Hasegawa F-4B/N kit. I will be a little slow to start this one as I have 2 other kits that I am trying to finish (one is for another GB) but I will get rolling soon. Have fun modeling!
