As a ´ol Phantom phan, i phinally got the kit. The decals look superb but Revell, why blue sprues? My eyes bleed just from looking at them...

Aris Grey
maybe to help novice modelers that don't use primers or use only brush.

Günther Debiscop
Typical Revell. The make the sprues in the most dominant color of the subject....

Holger Kranich
Ok, i´m gonna prime it anyway but this blue is bad when sanding e.g.

Bart Goesaert
i hope it's still better than the old silvergrey sprues...

Cesar Muniz
I just bought it with reduced price, Revell doesn't seem to learn... I have finished their brand new tooling Bae Hawk red arrow.. And guess what... It comes in red...

Nikolas Horianopoulos
Red sprues??? Blue sprues??? Just melt the remainings (after building both kits) and make a spiderman

Holger Kranich
I think we can be happy that the clear parts are not in red or blue... 😄

Germen V
the 1/48 F104 beglian tiger comes in yellow sprues

Cesar Muniz
talking about clear parts, the revell F22 came with clear YELOW canopy :-/

Choppa Nutta
nice colour scheme ! 🙂

total trivia but interesting to note that there are 648 Phantom kits from 63 different manufacturers ...
one popular aircraft design ! 😄

It seems only two other designs have had more kits made than the Phantom with 872 and 834 respectively 🙂

Holger Kranich
Bf-109 and...?

Łukasz Gliński
...Spitfire?😉

Germen V
Although the Revell Phantom and Tornado 1/72 are the best in this scale

The Revell F-4 is really good, but the best is probably still the Hasegawa kit - even its a little bit more complex.

Holger Kranich
I love both - Pantom and Tornado. Really cool kits for really cool prize. More of this please Revell! Just like the He-177 for example!

Soeren R.
Revell has indeed some nice kits, but sadly they are doing not so much currently as Airfix with all of their new tooled releases over the last 2 years.
I hope that this will change some day and we will see a lot more of new nice kits from Revell!

Choppa Nutta
Correct Holly & Lukasz 🙂
Spitfire, Bf109 and then the Phantom 😄

Seems the Panavia Tornado has "only" 190 kits in the database, which is still rather a lot 😉

yeah it's nice to see both Revell and Airfix upping their game, although bear in mind that Revell has just paid for a renewed Star Wars license recently so that might effect their new releases and toolings schedule etc. perhaps anyway, this is merely my speculation of course 🙂

Germen V
Yes, at Revell they dare to come re-release a old 'misformed' kit e.g. the 727-100

Cesar Muniz
I will not paint mine with this blue/gold collor, I want to do the vietnam green/tan camo, anyone knows if there are visual diferences from german F-4F and the american F-4E ?

Choppa Nutta
nothing obviously different between the F4-E & F versions I can see 🙂

the only differencce on the outside is that the F4F doesn't have the slotted stabilo's and due to the simplified avionics it was not capable of wearing Sparrows.

Rex
It would also depend on which F-4E you are talking about, because there was more than 1 "F-4E" depending on time period, build blocks, and upgrades. Even that sample photo linked to shows an F-4E with slatted wings and ARN upgrade on the spine ahead of the tail,,,,and the long Midas gun muzzle.

Germen V
a lot off, rebuilding, retrofitting and upgrading has been done on all variants off the F-4 so the best is to have photo reference of the A/C that you are going to build.
