Skinny_Mike Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Hello Everyone! This is my first time in a group build here on ARC and I’m happy to join. I’ve been fondling the sprues in my F4 for a while so this GB gives me the perfect excuse to get started. I am going to convert the Hasegawa F-4J to a F-4B. I know the Academy kit is out there and everyone seems impressed with it but I had this sitting in the stash, and it would make the misses a little happier if a kit in the stash was completed instead of a new kit added to the stash! And we all know – SWMBO must be kept happy! So here’s the kit and the aftermarket… I have the following AM for the kit: 1. Royale Resin F-4B/N Conversion kit 2. Aires F-4B/N Cockpit 3. Aires F-4B/C/D/N Exhaust Nozzles 4. Rhino Modelworks Intakes 5. Eduard Big Sin Early US Rocket Weapons 6. True Details USN Pylons for F-4 7. Vagabond Decals for VF-84 Here is a photo of the conversion set I’ll be doing the F-4B from the 1965 SEA cruise. So weapons are in order. My planned load out is; MERS on the outboard pylons with 6 Mk82 low drags (12 total) the inboard pylons will have a single AIM-9B and a TER with 2 rocket launchers. Aim 7s in the aft wells and a centerline tank. I’m not positive this is totally accurate for that cruise but it should look pretty cool, which is what I am looking for. The A2G ordinance will be coming from the Hasegawa weapons sets A and B and the A2A weapons will be from the Eduard set. This will be a pretty big conversion for me, and I’m generally a pretty slow modeler so I’ll probably take the next 6 months to get it finished. Hopefully it looks as good when I am done as I think its going to. Thanks for watching! See you all Soon. Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites

EX_Birdgunner Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Love VF-84 Phantoms!!!! All that juicy AM is going to be fun to watch get built up. I wish I was able to get that Vagabond sheet before it sold out. Oh well, my lesson for draging my feet when Sprue Bros. had it. Denis Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stefan buysse Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Hi, Good to see another Royale Resin conversion in the GB, Mike. Upon seeing your thread, I had look at the Eduard site to check out that missile set. It does look quite nice. I hope they'll do a set with AIM-9G's too. Cheers, Stefan.
