IMHO Academey has unseated Hasegawa as the king of the F-4 kits. This kit is is very nice indeed. It offers the upper fuse as a one piece moulding, just like the Tamiya 1/32 F-4 kits. Detail is excellent, with beautifully engraved panel lines. The intakes offer full ducting all the way to the engine faces. Cockpit detail is excellent, offering fine raised detail,which when painted and dry brushed should look very nice. Eduard does offer a Photo-Etch detail set for this kit ,which will make the cockpit look very nice. Wheel well detail is nice, and there are aftermarket resin wells avivable also.The kit fits well,with no major construction issues. If you devieate from the construction sequence you could run into issues.The kit offers a nice array of externalstores. The decal sheet is nothing short of stunning. There are maintaince stencils galore. The only thing I did not like is the Multi colored plastic, it is not a big deal though. It was designed so a less experienced modeler could build a close approximation of the actual aircraft without having to paint the model. To the experienced modler this should present no problems. I would highly recommend this kit.
