Review Summary

The reviews highlight that this kit generally offers good detail and accurate design, though it often requires significant sanding and filling to address poor fitting seams and gaps, particularly around the fuselage and intakes. While some appreciate the surface detail and armament options, others note limitations in ordinance variety, missing parts referenced in instructions, and a lack of detail in certain areas like exhaust nozzles. Opinions on ease of assembly vary, with some finding it straightforward and others noting challenges due to raised panel lines and unclear directions.

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

By: rarem37

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

By: jclemente1980 (Coimbra, Portugal)

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!
