I absolutely love it when someone tackles an old kit, please keep posting and let us know your thoughts about it.

I got it all re-scribed today and started the pit. I used the Eduard RF-4C PE set for the Hasegawa kit. It is looking good, I will put up some pictures tomorrow. The cockpit sidewall detail in the kit was pretty nice. I noticed that even though it is in a Testor's box it has Iterali stamped inside the fuselage. So far fit is quite nice.

Thank you Soheil, and Konrad. I finished the pit this morning, taking a break while paint dries. Full steam ahead tomorrow.

Tis one is now kind of on hold, my son will not be able to make it for Christmas, so I have a little more time. So I am going to order some resin wheels and seats.

Thank you all very much. I have to paint the resin seats, and add the nav lights. I have the Master metal pitot tubes and AOA vane for it. I have never used them, so am looking forward to seeing how they look.

Cliff, the Master stuff is fantastic. Fairly low cost and almost always much more accurate than kit stuff.

I love Master Parts too. I use it for all my pitots and AoA sensors. Just drill an appropriate hole and voilá!

Thank you all. I will be using the master parts on my future builds. I really like the detail, and you can't argue with the price.

IKR? Like 5-10 bucks for accurate METAL pitots and the like. No more snapping them in two putting them in a display case or transporting them etc etc

But since you have chosen a very old work-intensive piece, respect 👍,
in another forum is just Vietnam topic, because I would then decide to go for a phantom, I think Wolfpack offers beautiful folding wings for, let's see ... still is time to start 😄
