News
Tamiya’s brand new 1:48 scale F-4B Phantom II has been getting a lot
of attention from after-market companies as well as modellers.
Our first two news items are new decal sheets for this outstanding kit.
FUNDEKALS 1:48 SPOOK JOINS
THE FLEET F-4BS & F-4GS
Fundekals has sent
the latest information
about this future
release, also for the
new Tamiya 1:48
scale F-4B Phantom:
Our brand new
F-4B/F-4G sheet (yes,
the Navy had F-4Gs
long before the Air
Force!) is just about
finished.
These decals are
designed specifically
to fit the new
Tamiya Wunderkit F-4B. We tried to concentrate
on earlier F-4Bs before they sprouted all their lumps
and bumps - although we do have a few of those
sprinkled in as well (not shown here). For several
squadrons you'll get decals to do two or more different
aircraft that are significant for various reasons - MiG
killers, Antonov killers, or just because they're pretty!
The majority of these aircraft feature full McDonnell
factory stencil data, and we recommend you get
our forthcoming factory stencil data sheet (still
under development) to really do these birds up right.
Flying Leathernecks has done some great 3D printed
add-ons that will help with most of these birds, such as
the bare fin cap without any ECM lumps, plus AERO-
3B Sidewinder launchers, etc.
Hypersonic Models has the required Martin Baker
Mk.H5 seats and the early style 370-gallon wing tanks.
We hope to get these decals to Cartograf in the
next week or so, and to have them available sometime
in the next couple of months. As soon as we have
more concrete information, we'll let you know of
course. Meantime, here's a sampling of what you'll
see on the decal.
We hope you'll enjoy, and as always, thank you for
your continued support. Have fun! •

BULLSEYE MODEL AVIATION FLEET PHANTOMS -
F-4B PHANTIOM II PTS. 1 & 2
Bullseye Model Aviation has announced details of their next two new 1:48 scale releases covering
the F-4B Phantom II. The decals have been designed for the brand new Tamiya kit.
These will be exclusively available in the USA from Sprue Brothers and elsewhere internationally
from The 48ers:
FLEET PHANTOMS I - ITEM NO. 48-017
Sheet #1 covers:
• "Switchbox 200" VF-151s CAG jet from the 1971-1972 WestPac cruise, USS Midway
• "Lance 100" VF-21s CAG jet, 1967-1968 WestPac cruise, USS Ranger
• "Gypsy 200" VF-32 CAG jet, 1966-1967 WestPac cruise, USS Franklin Roosevelt
• "Ripper 101" VF-11 CO jet, 1968-1969 Med cruise, USS Forrestal.
• "Devill 100" VF-301 CAG jet, NAS Miramar, 1975
FLEET PHANTOMS II - ITEM NO. 48-018
Sheet #2 covers:
• "Old Nick 201" VF-111 CO jet, 1972 WestPac cruise, USS Coral Sea. These markings differ
slightly from the Tamiya kit as it represents the accurate markings from the MiG-17 kill mission of LT
Garry L. Weigand and LTJG William C. Freckleton, March 6, 1972.
• "Silver Kite 201" VF-92 CO jet, 1968 WestPac cruise, USS Enterprise
• "Lion 101" VF-213 CO jet, 1968-1969 WestPac cruise, USS Kittyhawk
• "Linfield 200" VF-114 CAG jet, 1967-1968 WestPac cruise, USS Kittyhawk
• "City Desk 401" VF-154 CO jet, 1967-1968 WestPac cruise, USS Ranger
All of these aircraft save for the VF-32 jet on 48-017 are equipped with the forward facing
AN/APR-30 RHAW antenna and the rear ALQ-51:100 jammer on the fin. This is the only
option in the kit unless you hack them off.
The VF-32 jet is equipped with the short lived forward facing AN/APR-24.
A plain fin tip and one with the AN/APR-24 will be available shortly in a 3D printed part.
These will be available from Sprue Brothers in the US and The 48ers overseas.
