F-4 E Phantom II...which kit to choose (1/48 scale)?

[generalgrog]

I Would like to build this F4-E Phantom. (edit.. It's from Mcdilll AFB, 94th Fighter Squadron, 1st Fighter Wing, 1972)



I'm not that familiar with F4 phantoms, and I know that there are quite a few different F4-E kits out there. Hasegawa makes several, Fujimi,and Revel...

So there are no decals for this particular aircraft so I will need to frankenstein the decals from several different sets of decals, but I have a plan for that. I just want to make sure I pick the correct kit for this era of F4-E..Apparently the korean kit from hasegawa is a late model F4-E(late 70's and early 80's)..so not sure if that would work for what I want(early 70's).

thanks for any help.

Well it seems that the Monogram promodeller kit has got some great reviews..as it's a reboxing of a hasegawa kit.

You should buy ALL the Phantoms, C through G. All of them.

Yeah the problem is, I don't do 1/32 scale yet. I try to keep all my planes at 1/48 and all my tanks/vehicles 1/35.

Check out the Academy kits and Eduards re-releases with all the PE and resin goodies

Yeah I'm thinking I will just go with the Korean hasegawa F4-E. I can use it as a base, and modify it as needed.

Unfortunately that's an F-4C, I want to build an F-4E.

The squadron I want to model, flew F-4 E's during the Vietnam era.

Thanks,
