What can be said about this kit that hasn't been said already. Probably one of the best (if not the best) F-4 kit on the market in 1/48 scale. I've built many Hasegawa F-4's and they were good, but with new technology in manufacturing kits; this kit is the new standard. This kit replicates the Tamiya 1/32 kit in construction. If you love F-4's this kit is highly recommended.
In a long line of Phantom kits, this is the best F-4B on the market. Hasegawa Phantom kits were the best until now. This kit uses the latest technology in moulding and the fit is excellent. Cockpit details are very good so there is no need to purchase after market parts. Ejection seats are good, but resin seats still offer more details and moulded seat belts. This kit is the first release by Academy to be followed by the F-4C, F-4J and the F-4B/N. If you like modeling F-4's these kits are the ones to purchase.
