Thank you and your welcome, Leon.
This morning, I received supply`s email message he will sent me a replacement fuselage maybe 2 or 4 weeks time.
I thinking don`t have to waiting for it. I should be building & painting with F-4 something parts - armament and cockpit before until replacement new fuselage arrive on.
I will look out at the cockpit parts then by later.

Ouch. That crack hurts me. Glad you're getting it sorted. It's a good kit and will be even better with the Eduard bits. I can tell you the burner cans are nice. If you want to go even more all out they make a nice Brassin weapons set that I'm using on mine and it's gorgeous.

wbill - "Pulling up a chair." should be Eject! Eject! Eject! 
TRM - I checked out at open of box - Cockpit`s plastic parts - very nice crispy...
jimmy - yep, you`re right. Brassin burner, Ejection seat and weighted wheels are nice details! I show you a some photos at this thread.
The Kit come with Brassin box.
Decal with white protect cover - printed by Cartograf.
Don`t be forget check out another one sprue - two sprues are look same but two sprue are different dashboard and functions.
Top :- Sprue (N) Bottom :- Sprue (M)

Andy - your welcome buddy! I didn`t know you fav Jet from Nam.. I fav Jet Phantom and Skyhawk from Nam also Robin Olds - WW2 and Vietnam war. 
I remember it - I was teenage build - Airfix 1/72 A-7 Corsair II (US Navy) in Nam as I enjoyed watching at Nam film and programme TV. I was playing with glue tip into A-7 Corsair II`s fuselage hole to Re-fill up full inside then into canopy full up level to pilot neck copy as from TV film/programme - Re-fuel with real aircraft carrier then next day later - MELT DOWN...... LOL

I used to lift out of the very southern end on the runway (east one)on a seeming too often basis. Yet as often as I lifted out of Chu Lai, I never lifted off the runway (too busy anyway). Have lots of memories from those two places. Some good and some ugly. DaNang was where your air strike would probably come from. Chu Lai seemed to be more interested in activities due north, but once in a while we'd get a strike from Chu Lai's pack of A4's. When I read your title "Good Evening DaNang", my first thought was an OV1 build! There was a wing of OV1's that flew out of there every night, and headed up the Ho Chi Mein Trail. Yet if you stood outside Chu Lai, it was something in the arming pit 24/7. Strange I know. Still the air base in DaNang was like going to the zoo. There was a little bit of everything up there.

Last mid of November 2015.   *************************************************************************************************************** I just back on my bench from last night. I was confusing with Eduard`s instructions - gears and bay walls so it is terrible drawing ! but download Academy instructions - not bad!  Eduard`s instructions, Where is correct angle of bay walls and gears?  I spotted on it - my idea of it is useful for jig template hold with Gear and bay walls correct angle by cement dry time. R&D engineers never thought about it. I`m good engineers make things better.  Cement on gears and bay walls for drying time overnight but I don`t use cement on the upper bottom wings.  Good shapes. then these are fit on the lower wings follow the instructions.  Still slowly work in progress. |
