Mats BengtssonThanks mates, I hope I won't disappoint you 🙂 . I'm still looking for a proper set of wheels. I think I'll go for Royale Resin's weighted tyres for FG1/FGR2:

Mats BengtssonNo, this is my first Hasegawa F-4 (I have only built a cople of Matchbox F-4M in 1/72 for about 100 years ago 🙂 ). Any advice on what to look out for?

AugieHi Mats,
Theres a couple of spots to be aware of..
1) Intake to fuselage join can be a pig to get right. dry fit it many times.
2) Fuselage to bottom of wing fit.. again test fit, you will likely find where it joins the lower front fuselage that it sits proud, be prepared to trim to fit for it to sit flush.
3) Intake to lower wing fit.. you may find a slight gap (1mm) will need a shim with scrap plastic.
These are the main ones I remember from my own Hase F-4's
I'm always around if you want to ask anything else 🙂
