Where are the missiles??
By: fosk
This Hasegawa kit is from 1985. It does make into a good looking F-4, just know it's not going to fall together. This one's going to need some sanding and filling, filling and sanding.The kit comes with 5 sprues molded in beautifully polished gray plastic and 1 clear sprue. The fuselage has nicely molded raised panel lines and rivet detail, however some of this detail gets sanded away with poorly fitting seams. The canopy is a one piece deal, so no option for having it open. Parts have some flash and ejector pin marks. The ordinance options are pretty limtied: 3 fuel drop tanks, 4 sparrows, and 2 generic looking bombs (maybe napalm canisters). There are no sidewinders.Step 5 of the instructions show AIM-4D missles as an option, but no AIM-4D missiles are provided with the kit.There are no decal options for a vietnam era aircraft.Overall a good kit. Fit is just OK, but with a little patience can be made into a nice F-4.
good kit, but takes filler and sanding

This is a pretty good kit. However the seam along the spine of the aircraft takes quite a bit of sanding to make it disappear. The sides on the fuselage where the intakes glue on leaves a gap that must be filled and sanded if you want to hide it.
Old mould, but not bad. Little rough

This is a different version of the phantom II, as it has fixed slats on the dihedral part of the wing, and it was the first version to have a cannon fixed to the fuselage. It is not as finelly detailed as one may hope, but it can become interesting. I've installed extra weapons on mine, and gave it a nice look. Not very troublesome to build, but require some sanding and filling. Appart from that, go ahead and give it a try!
