Finn Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Marine/Navy F-4Bs carried the Mk-77 napalm, and earlier Mk-79. Here is another one with Mk-77s, and Sparrows as well: Jari Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I can't wait for you guys to get this kit later this year, it will be like or even better to F-14 Tomcats we produced. Looking forward to it George. Also, will take your “there’s also Q2” post as a bit of a hint 😉 Steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Curt B Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 I'm thrilled that this airplane is going to be out soon, whenever that may be, and I am also hopeful that it will be as extraordinarily fantastic as so many Tamiya kits have been and are. I with we had some idea of what other variants they may have up their sleeves. I'm thinking, now, that I may hold off on a ZM F-4E, until I can't stand not having one and feel assured that Tamiya won't make one. I must have written here before about my hope for 1/48 P-38 J/L variants, and I am still very hopeful that will happen. I guess we will see, eh? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tamiya doesn’t have the best track record in this regard. I would’ve put money on an F-14B or P-38J/L this year and we get the F-4B. Probably something else random next year 😂 Steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BillS Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 George, Thanks for the launch month. What I’m trying to figure out is will it be released in Asia first or the all regions internationally? What I’m preplanning for is where to place my order(s) so I’m assured to be the first kid on my block to get one! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
