It looks like a good one..
Nick.
First I've seen this. Thanks for sharing something that's really good news.
Figures,I just got a Zoukei Mura Phantom
Tojo, the ZM F-4 builds up beautifully, and is a lot of fun to build. I'm a serious Phantom Phanatic, so I've done two of them so far, as well as Monogram's, Hasegawa's and Academy's. That said, I'm really looking forward to Tamiya's.

Thank you,I think I will be happy with it.The last phantoms I built were a couple of the classic Hasegawa kits around 2000
Yep, the ZM kit will be a treat. Enjoy !
I'm looking foward to this baby. Oh yeah!
F is for FIRE, That burns down the whole town!
U is for URANIUM... BOMBS!

For some reason my stash does not include a 48th scale Phantom. I believe I will need to rectify that problem (although I did build Tamiya's 32nd scale F-4J about a decade ago, probably the reason I've never bothered with a smaller scale kit).
Sure hope they release a 1/72 scale version!
On the Bench: Too Much
Hopefully they'll issue an RF4C based off this one. Just about the only varient not offered in 1/48. Yes, I know the RF4E is out there, but requires a lot of backdating.

Testors did the RF-4C years ago... it's a rough one. I have had mine sidelined for many years. And I'm pretty that Hasegawa has released one as well, or is theirs a RF-4B?
Looks like italeri did a 1/48 back when, and that hase's were all in 1/72. Suspect that the testors was the italeri mold.
Most all versions call out b,c,and e models.
Would be nice to have a modern technology kit in the b and c versions as they were fairly simular between USMC and USFS, as far as I know.
Yes, the main difference between the B & C RF versions is the wing. The B had the thin wing for the narrow wheels, while the C had the bulged wing for the wide wheels. Both types used the later curved and early flat faceted camera sections. And of course the refueling systems, the C would have the flying boom receptacle, while the B had the probe for probe and drogue refueling.
Worked the C's for over 2 1/2 years as an ECM tech, at Udorn and Shaw. Fell in love with the old girl.
Just don't have the dexterity to build in 1/72, and just barely in 1/48. Have the old Revell kits of the C, E, and G, and the Tamiya C/D, all in 1/32.
It would be huge, but a modern tool in 1/24, of the E and RF's might be a decent seller.
A 1/24 Phantom would be ginormous! The 1/32 Phantoms are big enough! I've got a 1/32 G on hold waiting for more shelf space to be constructed. And that will be soon. Woohoo!
Very cool that you worked on the real deal!
Hasegawa has all the kits you mentioned in 1/48. All the reccee variations, except the early thin wing rf-4b, which Tamiya could definitely do based on this new kit.

Yes, Hasegawa's was an RF-4B. Pretty gaudy paint job, too as I recall.
