Default RE: Skymaster F-4E phantom


ORIGINAL: Jetflyer15

Hi.

I was on Skymaster's website today and noticed that they added a F-4E Phantom to it. The site says it is a 1:8 scale. Does anyone know if this jet is going to be more on the sport side or is it going to be more on the scale side? Thanks for any help, Gary
I've seen the Skymaster up close, it is pretty good with a lot of detail, but it is not scale. Looks almost as if a 1:32 Tamiya F-4 kit was used for reference, it pretty much has all the same mistakes :-). I would put it in the sector "sport-scale".
One thing i personally find worth criticizing is the wing mount...it looks very flimsly and should be replaced with an aluminum tube going through the entire fuselage and deep into the wing...

Best regards
Hank
