F-4G Phantom II Wild Weasel V by CDW - Zoukei Mura - 1:48 scale


Recommended Posts

You will love the kit. I recently built their Kai Phantom and it was a pure pleasure build. Fit and engineering of the kit are very much Tamiya like and so much better than their 32 scale TA-152 kit, which was quirky designed in parts and had many areas where detail was very soft, almost toyish. 
I even used the decals for the IP and panels, which worked well and looked good for the scale. There are no seat belts in the kit. I used some from KitsWorld, but didn't like them too much. The belts itself were mediocre, but protruding parts like pull rings and levers are too soft to look right.

 

Cheers Rob

I'm in, Craig. And yes, EG, it is.

 

I suspect that with the excellent products Z-M has released of late, they will get all the nuances right. I see they show the speed brakes interior paint. I hope they droop the aux air doors on the belly, over the centerline rack system, assuming it's on the ground. These doors pop open inflight to "burp" the air intakes at high speeds. On starts, when cycling the generators on, they could slam shut, so we always checked with the crew chief before doing that.

OC, the Spang birds were just across the "gulch" from Bitburg. That was one of our nicknames for the Kyll River valley. That's were the famous Kyll River Fog Monster dwelt. I think we spent a third of the winter grounded because the visibility was less than 1 mile, our minimum world wide for flying weather.

 

I can't wait to see the 1/32 E model. The old Revell one was a little rough. The Hasegawa in 1/48 was much better.

I saw  a few of these  at airshows   normally  teamed up with an F16    as I know  they  flew together.
