There are 40 years between these two kits. Therefore there are a lot of differences between two manufacturers Phantom approaches. I just pieced up some which seemed interesting to me. Stop the video in desired place to watch parts for longer.

The Meng kit is ' light years ahead of the old Hasagawa kit, thanks for showing this video, best regards from Australia 👍👍👍👍

Model kits have evolved in forty years for sure

Details vice Meng is definitely better, but Hasegawa seems to be quite easy build

The Hasegawa kit was excellent for.....1985, and can be built quickly into a good model.
The Meng is a modern, up to date mold and it shows it.

If you look my "Which one is better 1/48 Starfighter Kinetic or Hasegawa..." you can see that I liked the Hasegawa build more than much newer Kinetic..

I don't think this is a fair comparison, the reason is the Hasegawa kit is over 28 years old! If this is to be a fair comparison, compare the Meng F-4 to a Tamiya or Zoukei Mura offering. Hasegawa was the best in its day and still is competitive.

I'm thinking of making Academy vs. Meng comparison, although they have 10 years age difference too.. And I'm waiting for Hasegawa build experience.. Lets see what will happen

[@niuchajianfa6222]

no comparison here

[@TV-ez4md]

True, no comments which looks better, you can compare from pictures and texts which you like more. Conclusions comes after I have build both 🙂
