Bomber_County Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 So Telford around the corner and ZM in attendance add I haven’t built a jet in .....will not finish that one. Interested to know what you guys think of their 1/48 F4. ZM sometimes have show prices and could be tempted for a change with something that hasn’t any props....... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harv Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Seen a couple built and they look real good. Some of the detail, like exhaust, was mastered by Gary of GT resin. Good fr I'llend of mine. I would say get it.... Harv 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Clunkmeister Posted October 29, 2018 Administrators Share Posted October 29, 2018 I've heard that the hind quarter curves above the burner cans are kind of funky, but I'm no F-4-O-Holic. The one's I've seen built look Phantabulous to me though. I've built a couple of the Acadamy F-4B/N kits and I loved them. I thought THAT kit was spot on. I only added some PE panels and belts, but other than that, straight OOB. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterpools Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 I have every ZM F4 and kit for kit, they blow the competion out of the water. ZM has gone back and corrected a numbrr of isdues on their two newly re-released Toons. Yup, not perfect but pound for pound the cream of the crop.

Administrators Clunkmeister Posted November 1, 2018 Administrators Share Posted November 1, 2018 Truth there, Phil. Peter, did they fix they bulging hip issue or is it still present on the newest re-releases? I can only imagine these in 1/32...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterpools Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Ernie Not sure but I'll check over the weekend. The two newest F4 have fixes and updates as well. One thing, pound for pound the ZM F4's just are heads and tails ahead of every other 48th scale Toon and looking at the kits, I think way too much is made of this issue.

HubertB Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 There is a built one (F-4S) on Hyperscale today .... with a totally funky MLG That is so obvious that it hides everything else, unfortunately. Hubert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Ivanovich Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 I've got two of the SWS F-4S kits in my stash - and I totally love them. Except for replacement burner cans, these kits virtually don't need any aftermarket goodies. "As is" overall detailing is exquisite and leaves very little to be desired. On the other hand, the shape issues between fuselage stations FS370.000 and FS493.000 ("Finger Trim Plate") were in fact a bit of a letdown for me. My Mk.I eyeball told me immediately there was something fishy when I first saw pics of the actual plastic. So I was more than happy when Hypersonic came up with their correction set and ordered two sets accordingly. Ignorance is a bliss. Too true. But when it comes to one of my favourite subjects (and the more familiar I am with a particular subject), my Mk.I eyeball tends to play tricks on me and takes over control. Once spotted, it's almost impossible for me to "unsee" such inconsistencies. It sticks out like a sore MOLE. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bomber_County Posted November 3, 2018 Author Share Posted November 3, 2018 Not knowing a lot about the F4, I doubt if I had noticed. Peter if by any chance you come across if there are in fact any updates that would be great. Not sure about hacking the fuz around for the inserts though.........

Administrators Clunkmeister Posted November 4, 2018 Administrators Share Posted November 4, 2018 They were discounted... on Thursday. I bought the Mustang IV and had no space in my luggage for the Dornier A-12. So bought online for same price and paid shipping. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
