new 1/32 F-4 Phantom?

Post by dragon53 » Wed Nov 02, 2011 7:29 am

Badcat says there are rumors of a new 1/32 F-4 Phantom in 2012. I assume this means repaints of the BBI 1/32 F-4J Phantom "Jolly Rogers".

I got that email as well and that's good to hear. Maybe they will do an Air Force scheme for variety. I'd kind of hate to see another Navy one, since the first one was so nice... The BBI F-4 is an excellent tooling and one of my favorite 1:32 aircraft in my collection from any era :wink:

This is great news. 8)

A great mold from BBI, that could have almost endless schemes. And not only US schemes.

Hobby Master has done 40 versions of the F-4 in 1/72, and they are big sellers.

Think they will concentrate on US liveries, as I find the North American market is more open to collecting these larger models.

Got some favourites I would like to see, but hope to see a USAF SEA camo one soon.

On the non US types would love to see an Israeli 'Kurnass", and a Royal Navy Phantom.
