There is a Hasegawa kit with Sundowner markings of the F-4B/N as well. It's out of production, so you will need to scour eBay for it.

Jeremy:
CAM decals does them. And Aeromaster has a set in their Fabulous Phantoms series.I think cutting edge has a set as well. Try Spruebrothers or Victory models. As for the B kit there is only one option, Hasegawa.

Looks like Luckymodel is the way to go. $51.50 shipped. Might have to indulge myself with one of these as I don't have a "B" in my line up. "Q"

If you can find the Hasegawa kit (#09662) you've got the bird you need and the decals you want all in one box. Keep in mind that the B/N is the older Has offering, so don't be shocked when you crack the box and find raised panel lines, USAF-style rear cockpit, and a few other minor fiddly things.

Just FYI, Eagle Strike Decals had the Sundowners CAG markings on their "Phantoms Phorever Pt.6" sheet. You may be able to dig that up on eBay.

This is true, and is a pretty smokin' deal. Unfortunately, this kit builds the RF-4B version, and it is based on their earlier F-4J kit (#07206) with a different fuselage. Building a -B from this one would take quite a bit of work.

@ Jeremy - Trade, you say? What do you have to swap? I have a modeling buddy in the area who has a Has F-4B/N (kit P5, which is an earlier issue of kit #07105). IIRC, the box is in rough shape and the decals are crap, but the parts are all there. It's certainly buildable, or at least I think it is. I could talk to him and see if he's interested in doing a swap, and find out what condition the kit is in. I can't make any guarantees, of course, but I'll certainly pass a list of possible trade stuff to him if you're interested. If so, drop me a PM with the info.

Sundowners F-4. Took me a while to accumulate my stuff. I wanted to do the Weigand version. Found the old ESCI kit but didn't trust the decals old. Found the Hasegawa version and then discovered that the decals were for a CAG version (the rainbow stripe). So I was in dispair. 3 weeks ago at a model show I was talking with a vendor about it. Lo and behold he has a set of Superscale decals that were perfect. Gave them to me too. Now I'm loking for the Cunningham VF 96 48th scale set to do up the ESCI kit in a J mode. Don't want to get the Hasegawa kit with that set. Hey if anyone has the decals I'll trade/ deal for them
