Looks really good....I hope they at least fix that side window behind the pilot in the canopy area that is missing.

Re: F4 Phantom Showtime Pics

i agree too, looks pretty good but they do need to fix the pilots ... sitting way too low especially the RIO ... almost sitting Witty low !

There were pilots in there??? Completely missed that.

Overall it's looking quite good. Hope they sort out the cockpit before they release this one (unlike their ususal "it'll be OK for a later release")
 

Ooops!

Re: F4 Phantom Showtime Pics

The pre pro looks pretty good.
I would just like them to pull back on the panel line wash a bit.

If history wtih the pre-pros is any indication I think what you get will pretty much be what you're seeing... until the third repaint, which seems to be where we see the fixes. But who knows. Looks good to me, aside from the overdone wash. But the Phantom is/was a dirty bird

They did fix their Airacobra to follow our paint correction comments immediately after the pre-pro shots were released...but I've never seen them fix a mold issue. I have seen them fix assembly / QC issues starting with the 3rd release though.

Re: F4 Phantom Showtime Pics

Does anyone have a Corgi Phantom to compare to the Hobby Master F-4, that they could post a picture of?

Re: F4 Phantom Showtime Pics

I hope you are sending these comments to williamliu@hobbymaster.com.hk . They want all comments, suggestions and whatever sent directly to them. So if you really want these things corrected drop them a note. So I don't do it any more so if you want them to know about it send an email to the address I posted. This goes for all the Hobby Master models not just this one.
