weird pick from tamiya i'll be honest
the market have no less than three F-4Bs right now -
hasegawa old yet decent phantoms, academy excellent and very affordable phantoms and ZM with their insanely detailed (and priced) phantoms
so im not sure where tamiya going to fall in here, and how they expect to top the other competition

Mine arrived in the mail today from Andy's Hobby Headquarters. I immediately compared it to my Academy F-4B/N kit: Even with all the aftermarket stuff I gathered for the Academy kit, the Tamiya kit wins hands down! 😮 The breakdown, the finesse, the structural internals, it just blows the Academy kit clean out of the water! And that Academy kit is a dang fine kit on it's own... I'm preparing to move, but the first thing to unpack on my new modeling desk will be this kit for sure! 😄

Konrad -
I'm also looking forward to the late E and G version.

Anyhow a few days ago I got the new early E from ZM. Awesome looking kit a lot of details and possibilities to show it at the end of the day. The decal sheet looks also very impressive there are more than 400 decals to apply on this one 🙂!
In case that there is only one decal option you will have to apply them all 🙂...

I love this plane and I don't know really why but hey yes there are great times for this hobby and I believe once this one is available I put it into my stash 🙂.

I finished ZM f-4e few weeks ago and it was a joy from start to ginish

In this life I won't buy this kit, I'd rather buy three Hasegawa kits with the money. Tamiya now lives in another world with her prices. Around 100 € for a bit of plastic, that's almost 200 DM. Never ever.
