torchf4 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Hi folks, Like the title says would really appreciate any info on what's available currently aftermarket wise to build a Luftwaffe F4F in 1/32? Esp deals and resin for german specific parts like the unslotted stabs. Thanks and regards, Andy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alpagueur Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 (edited) Revell F-4F is seriously misshaped in terms of muzzle (too thin) and intakes (oversized, take a look here)*: *Except the Spey engined Tooms, all the Phantoms have the same air intakes' mouths... But it includes two great engine nozzles and a perfect belly F-15 style tank. I've two Revell GE (#4785) F-4F in my stash.... and I will have to seek an alternative muzzle from the Tamiya kit (F-4E or EJ) and a pair of air intakes (Cutting Edge, Rhino, DMold or GTR). Flightpath (UK) makes a great undercarriage set for the Revell Phantoms... and Legend makes a beautiful cockpit for it. You also can choose between DEF.Model (bulged) and Eduard Brassin (unbulged) F-4C/D/E/F/G wheels... and you will need 4x AIM-120 Amraams underside (instead of the old AIM-7 Sparrows), Flightpath again makes excellent resin missiles with PE fins (or you can pick them up from the Academy F/A-18C or Tamiya F-16CJ kits) HTH cheers Edited March 21, 2017 by Alpagueur Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If I were to convert the Tamiya F-4E, would there be parts and decals to do it? I know the slat wing is available in resin, exhaust too and E or F is the same. Only issues would be the unsloted tail, instrument panels (if ICE) and decals. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alpagueur Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 (edited) AirDOC made a HUGE sheet for the Norm 72 F-4Fs... but I fear they are out of production (I'm not sure) http://www.shopofphantoms.com/rhino/Pulsar/en_US.Shop.displayShop.5529./adm-48001_-32001 http://www.aircraftresourcecenter.com/Rev2/1801-1900/rev1899-AirDOC-adm72017/00.shtm Edited March 22, 2017 by Alpagueur Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 They also make a nice sheet for the Norm 90. No doubt also out of production. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Craig Baldwin Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 www.scalemates.com is a very good resources for checking kits and accessories. Although it not not have EVERY thing that was ever made, it does a lot of them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scotthldr Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Unslotted stabs, easily fixed by filling the slots and sanding. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
