McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II

1/48 F-4N.

This is an original 1982 issue of Hasegawa’s F-4B/N kit. As such, it features raised panel lines. Unlike the rest of their 1/48 Phantom lineup, Hasegawa never re-tooled the B/N kit with recessed panel lines. As long as they’re [...]

Monogram 1/48 Scale F4J Phantom

I built and modified this kit back in 1990. It's been in storage for 30 years. Some pieces separated so I decided to put it back together and clean it up a bit.

Hasegawa RF-4E 1/48 Phantom II: Final Year 2020

The commemoration of the long service of the Phabolous adds another colorful dimension to the 'Sea Camouflage' attractive scheme of Japan's RF-4E. I enhanced the basic mold of the ejection seats and used DXM decals for the specialized [...]

Ferris Splinter: 1/48th Hasegawa F-4S Phantom II

There was a time, and a long time it was, that the 1/48 scale Hasegawa F-4 Phantom model kits reigned supreme. Most Phantom variants eventually got covered by Hasegawa and they produced the F-4S version around 1998. They have now been [...]
