john53 Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 I have an F-4J and need something different. I was thinking of a Blue Angels and have seen Cam Pros. I heard some one once mentioned that they used them and had problems with cracking. Anyone else ever use them? I also need some for my F/A-18C but want a good reliable brand.

BillS Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 I used them on the ZM F-4 and Kinetic F-18. I had minor issues with cracking but not any major disaster. Testors BA yellow works good for small touch ups as well. The problem is the F-4 sheet is limited to the 1969 season; all jets that were ultimately wrecked. The crew names are incomplete as well in my opinion. I poured over old books and the internet for hours looking for images to check accuracy and details. You must pay attention to subtle details like bare metal areas and othere tweaks like the small American flag on the forward nose gear door, a marking that came along in the early 70s. I’d be happy to send pics of my finished models if you like. The “18 is in the possession of the BA’s commander now. For sure if I were doing an ‘18 I’d go for the new Kinetic offereing as I’m sure the decals are nice, have current Bunos and names for the 2016 season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
