Patrick HagelsteinHi Mark! Thanks! I'll post pictures and will address my findings when I get there for sure. 👍🏼

Maciej BellosPatrick, I have a question. How come are you using two kits? Doesn't the Hasegawa have all the bits and pieces for a RF-4C? I went through a quick look on my Hasegawa (the same you have) and it contains the exhaust cans and other things.

Patrick HagelsteinAnd a good question it is, Maciej! 🙂 I really like the details and fit of this new FineMolds kit compared to the 30 year old Hasegawa kit. The Hasegawa kit in its own right is a beautiful kit but I wanted to see if I could combine the fine details of the FineMolds kit to the RF-4 front fuselage. Even though I'm dressing up the spine insert, this spine insert is lightyears ahead of the Hasegawa split fuselage. Irony would have it that when I finish this Phrankenphantom, FineMolds will issue a true RF-4C. 😉

Maciej BellosThanks, indeed the Finemolds is a gem. I suppose you will be building a F-4C/D out of the Hasegawa kit, or even an F-4J/S is possible provided you have the proper decals.

Patrick HagelsteinAs far as I can see the parting lines between the front and rear fuselages are at the exact same panel lines, so I could cobble the 'remaining' parts together. I could go for an F-4C/D as the FineMolds from fuselage is the Air Force variant. I think I have some decals for that in my spares box.
