Mustang381 Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Hello friends, I just got Zoukei Mura F-4E Early 1/48 https://www.scalemates.com/kits/zoukei-mura-sws48-10-f-4e-phantom-ii--1180315, and I wonder can I make an Iranian bird,OOB? Because I have seen these DXM Decals https://www.hobbyeasy.com/en/data/oydzgtag5oo662w1iunf.html which are in preorder at HobbyEasy,and I wondered can I use them to make that model kit? Thank you friends. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nebbor Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Iranian F-4E's are of the slatted variety that unfortunately is not provided by Zoukei-Mura. There are conversions for that kit. But that just makes an expensive kit more expensive. So OOB the answer is no. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mustang381 Posted July 4, 2022 Author Share Posted July 4, 2022 Thank you dear friend.So, only USAF can be made. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dutch Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Or early Israeli F-4E and RAAF F-4E while they waited for their F-111Cs. Maybe even F-4EJ JASDF. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nebbor Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 I have to correct myself. Done some digging and AFAIK the following can be made OOB: early Iranian F-4E's before slat retrofit (hard to find photo's without slats). Please note they are marked IIAF (pre-revolution). Marking can be adapted from the DXM sheet. early Israeli F-4E's before slat retrofit (hard to find photo's without slats) all Royal Australian Air Force F-4E's all Thunderbirds F-4E's NF-4E (essentially a Thunderbirds F-4E used for several test duties at Edwards AFB) early F-4EJ before Kai modification program Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mustang381 Posted July 5, 2022 Author Share Posted July 5, 2022 First let me thank you all my friends, As of F-4EJ KAI , I think that they keep unslated wings. Anyway, is there any good aftermarket decals for Vietnam era unslated F-4E in 1/48, because I dont like scheme frmo the box? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nebbor Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 1 minute ago, Mustang381 said: As of F-4EJ KAI , I think that they keep unslated wings. Yes they retained the unslatted wing but the Kai modification changed some exterior details. The wing tips as provided by ZM in this kit (and a few other things) are not correct for a Kai. That is why they released a genuine F-4EJ Kai kit. Regarding the Vietnam era F-4E decals: Aeromaster 48-470, 333, 304, Zotz 48045 and 48046 and many Microscale/Superscale sheets should get you going.

ST0RM Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 Cool research in this thread. Another idea would be a "Lizard" USAF Thunderbird Phantom. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
