Does anybody have any information on the 2 kits, are they accurate? Does anyone have any photos of them made up or any reviews?

Look forward to hearing from anyone.

Hi!

My guess is that these are the old ESCI kits reboxed.

Can´t say so much more about these as I have not seen them in person.

But I can recommend the Revell kits instead as these are the Hasegawas reboxed with better decals at half the original price!

We can also look forward to the new Eduard Phantom family, but what will I do with my 10 Hase kits then?

Well, build them of course!

Cheers!

If their they are 1/72, the RF-4C / E (early nose), F-4F / G and
F-4S : http://modelingmadness.com/reviews/viet/dixonf4spreview.htm
share the same basic mold just different bits.

Their are not Hasegawa but as a simple model they are not bad

I've butchered the S and G models in my time. They are rised lined old kits and not Esci. Not bad kits (like old Revells in my opinion) but not as good as some of Esci kits. If you can access to Hase or Fujimi, do not bother with the Italeri...That is what I think at least.
