Woo Hoo!! NICE!!!! I remember seeing Trip Trey (as the squadron is "slangily" called) flying Hornets when I was stationed at Iwakuni back in 1989. Wished I could've seen the Phantoms when they flying those.....

A guy at our IPMS meeting brought one in a few months back. Nice kit, although he said the earlier molds showed repair patches on the wings and fuse. Apparently, according to him anyway, the Japanese only referenced one F4. One that was repaired several times and as such had repaired areas which were then reproduced in the earlier mold. I don't know the validity of his story, however he said he had to sand them down and re-scribe the panel lines.

I believe he said the later molds were void of these errors.

Sweet kit brother. Can't wait to see you finish that monster.

Building a kit from your stash is like cutting a head off a Hydra, two more take it's place.

1/32nd is about 23 inches long and around a 16 inch wingspan.  He better have more than one, half a box would be close.Surprise   I have several bottles of each for my SEA scheme.
