Curt B Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 (edited) Hi all, I have a ZM F-4C that I haven't built yet, and I think it's a nice kit. I'd like to get either an F-4J or F-4S kit, but they seem to be really hard to find, and prices seem really out there. I found an F-4J at Sprue Brothers for $89 with free shipping. Do you think that's a fair deal? Edited June 15, 2019 by Curt B Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Slartibartfast Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Fair? Yes. Bargain basement price? Nope. You can spend a long time looking for that $40 kit or assuage your desire with instant gratification. Your holy choice in our capitalist society. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Whiskey Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 @Ben BrownBrown has one for sale at a good price. Solid guy to buy from. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BillS Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 I just bought the Marines J for $67 at SB last week. they had a sale on all 48 plastic. You might hold off for their next weekend promo. They come up about once a quarter Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mstor Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 Volks USA has the F-4S in stock for $75. Shipping to WI (where I live) would be around $19. When I bought my F-4S I got it from BNAModelWorld for around $96 before shipping. Got it there because I couldn't find any cheaper anywhere at the time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Curt B Posted June 15, 2019 Author Share Posted June 15, 2019 Guys, Many thanks for all the replies and ideas. I'm pondering Ben Brown's offer. I guess these planes aren't really cheap anywhere, eh? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave Williams Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 (edited) Z-M kits are not usually discounted like other kits are. Edited June 15, 2019 by Dave Williams Quote Link to post Share on other sites
madmanrick Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 The "list" price is $75 and that hasn't changed with any of the versions of the Phantom II's that ZM has released, at least as far as I am aware. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fulcrum1 Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 The only deals I’ve seen on these kits are when Sprue Bros runs a sale. I was in Japan twice last year and with the yen difference there was a few bucks to be saved but not much. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
