My first G was the old Airfix one, 1960ish. These are 2 excellent kits. I feeling that Tamyia maintain a cool balance. Eduard is impressive but tend to overengineer. Personnal opinion😊

Great build video, totally agree that your first action crossing out the "2 in 1". That is very deceptive as I expected the bonus 2d aircraft. Oh well...love the level of detail in the kit and your brought all of that out in spades. Well done. There is a lot of kit in that box...looking forward to building it down the road.

Beautiful

Unfortunately the Tamiya kit doesn't regularly come with Cartograf decals, only that special boxing which is not available. Tamiya's kit is still pretty good, but at least for me there's no going back building a less detailed kit now that we have Eduard's offering. I have enough Eduard plastic to build 15 kits, I should start the first batch in the near future. The OOB interior detail that modern Eduard, Arma Hobby, Clear Prop etc 1/72 kits offer is something that I appreciate & enjoy.

Interesting! I may be wrong but I think the rivet heads on the Mustang were cut off and it was smoothed over with putty. If so then the Tamiya would be more accurate.

Apples vs. Oranges, since Academy is a C and Meng is an E. Regardless, both of them suffer from very serious inaccuracies that are to numerous to mention. The only real positive thing I can say about Meng is that, along with Tamiya on their 1/48 F-4B, they are the only company in history to capture the subtle bulge around the rear cockpit area (don’t argue with me that it’s not there, I have the factory drawings to prove it). ZM also missed that detail. But Meng’s windscreen center panel is completely the wrong shape (it looks like an F-14), the weld bead detail on the keel is beyond comical (you can barely feel it with your finger on the real thing), and it has panel lines that don’t exist on the real thing. Academy’s kit is a comedy of errors from nose to tail. Nobody is going to mistake either of them for a 727 or a Spitfire, but they both leave a LOT to be desired if you want an accurate F-4 model.

looks good, very well done.

Wasted...not "waisted".....not a word.

🤝👍

Great build...

I hate no commentary!

Congratulations for the beautiful model and thank you for choosing a Hellenic Air Force Phantom!

Looks ok, but overkill on the weathering. An operational bird actually gets corrosion control that prevents it from looking like it was dipped in hog shit.

Beautiful work in the model and video..Really enjoyed watching this and picking up some tips in metal finishes..All the best..

Great subject! I like seeing models of NASA aircraft, but I’m biased considering I work for NASA.

hi from Malaysia, great painting tips.

Better than my old Revell F-106. LOL

THe wheatering on the metal parts looks a bit overdone to my.

Nice work 👌🏻👏🏻👍🏻

that would be wasted without an i unless referring to your mid riff

I thought I was the only guy who knew about putting pigments on the metal. My preferred is Vallejo Dark Steel.

very nice build. on the negative you can add that when parked the airbrakes of the F104 are always closed.

Where do you get the Alec Scraper from???

Beautiful bird!

Very cool enjoyed watching this! That patina from the pigment is very much like the effect you see in old colour images. Nice touch...I must try that one.

That is insane level of detail for such a small scale

Where did you get your water warmer for decals?

Horrible music

Sorry, but the weathering is way over the top.

Excellent work! If I got into model building I would end up broke and homeless. I was a skateboarder for 20 years, surfer for 9, and dropped more money than I should’ve on those sport hobbies. I had to give up both after I was wounded for the third and final time during my 5th combat tour. I struggled to find a hobby to cover down. I started fishing and ever since then I’ve dropped thousands and thousands of dollars on fishing gear every year. If I took up model making I’d spend every cent I made on it. I need an accountant 😂

Really cool.

Good video, nice comparison. I would like to add just one minor observation and it is with regard to assembly process. I love both kits, but Meng - just a bit more than Academy. Just because of the fact that according to the Academy's assembly manual one has to install main landing gear almost at the very beginning of the assembly process! Even before priming the aircraft. That really kills me because when you reach the middle of the road (assembly) half of the landing gear would break off... Academy F-4N kit has plastic parts of three different colors for unknown to me reason.) While assembling I had a strong feeling that different colors glued in different way, I had to use different glues. Meng does not have problems like that, building it was a very pleasant adventure.) Thanks for video!

Too much weathering; a static gate guard wouldn't get that dirty. No self respecting crew chief would allow it either.

That finish is amazing ❤

Now I can start mine Thanks.

Very nice work

Amazing work!

Kinetic has better details in the cockpit, but version C is the one I like the most, and for that reason Hasegawa is better in my opinion, it better represents the version that best defines the Century Series.

Good evening my friend, don't know anything about Clear Prop, but I would go for the Revell kit just for the box art camo scheme, looking forward to your build series,bedt regards from Australia, Les

Kit looks good, but can we please end the photo etched metal bits. Sure it has a place in ship models, but between resin and 3D printing there is no good reason for it.

The clear prop I'll be getting because it has a Selfridge Air National Guard version which is 10 miles away from me.

Fantastic build and looks great!! 👌. Was very enjoyable following this build along. Some wholly ridiculous commentary below about it being too dirty/weathered. Says who? It is entirely the gift of the modeler - there is no requirement to adhere to constraints real or imagined. This is the wonderful thing about the hobby. I say put your money where your mouths are and crank out a model as skillfully and creatively made as this.

One of the best Scooters i have seen. Way too many haters

Love it! Excellent build! Do you think there's enough space to run wires for 1mm or 2mm LEDs in the nav lights and HUD? I want to build mine in-flight!

Is there a link to this model?

Can this be built in a flying pose?

No subtitles...🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

Rivets details are way overscaled on the MF, this is something I don't like.

Great diorama

Je doute que le vrai ressemble à ça... le pauvre... nul!
