Annette may have been Corgi's first F-4 camo jobby, but she still suffers from the same substandard mold as all the rest of them...I never could figure what all the hoopla was about with this one. I think it's just another one of those things that people just manufactured some hysteria over without really even knowing why.... The only way I would have ever picked it up would have been if I came across it at TM for $14.99, and I wouldn't even give that much for it now..

Well, don't ship em to the landfill fellas, I'll adopt 'em... whent the time comes PM me for shipping. I'll even pick up the tab.

Listen boys, you are putting the cart before the horse with all this talk about which nose it should have. We first need to know if its gonna have an ENGINE! Isn't the engine more important than the nose???? So... you Phantom experts out there: how deep are the turbines buried in the fuselage, and are they visible from the intakes?

Elmer, if my memory serves me right, you literally crawl inside this...

The real money is to be made with the long-nosed F-4E/F/Gs. They have :

The war record :

• USAF - Vietnam War
• IAF - Yom Kippur & Lebanon
• IIAF - Iran vs Irak war
• USAF - Gulf War (G)

Plus the nicest paint schemes :

• USAF - Thunderbirds
• Luftwaffe's Blue-grey
• Japan - Lots of nice manga deco
• Greek - Aegean Grey

I am not too worried, I am sure the long nosed are coming too...

You are sooo right !! But as far as I am concerned - HM, just give me only ONE of these and then I´ll be quiet for very, very long...

Great pictures, fly! Thanks. It has been awhile since I have seen a Phantom with intakes uncovered, but I recall seeing deep dark holes. This is ok with me. What is not ok is a model with intakes that are recessed an inch or so and then obviously blanked out with... what would you call it... a wall? What's up with that, and why is that acceptable with collectors??? To me, this is analagous to leaving a prop off a prop driven model. I would rather have a model with intake covers so you can't see inside the obviously ridiculous looking thing.

Yeah I saw the smily face. I just like saying how crap Corgi is and, hopefully with the support of others, could tell them how to do their job.

[Shamrock]

Way to go Saeta!! With Gemini doing the Spey engined British Phantoms I want an F4E/G

[FROGGY]

Boring, i dont want F4D or J.
I just want F4E or G or F.

Bad choice from HM

[Raven]

I want to go on the record as stating that I want an F-4E/F/G.

That said - I am buying all HM F-4's!!!!!
