GT Resin have sent us details of a special limited edition Super Set conversion they are offering for the US IPMS nationals this coming July. The conversions are called Super Sets as they contain the cockpit, airframe and exhausts upgrades - and, in this case, decals and stores as well.
GT Resin is pleased to announce a special release to the 2015 IPMS National Convention of a “F-4C Wild Weasel Super Set” to accurately model the first Phantom SEAD jets used in the closing stages of the Vietnam War. The Super Set is designed to be used with the Tamiya F-4C/D kit and other aftermarket accessories.

The F-4C Wild Weasel Super set will contain the following:

Complete GT Resin F-4C cockpit featuring:
Highly detailed & corrected one piece cockpit tub that installs as easily as the kit tub
Highly detailed and accurate side walls for both cockpits
Mk 7 USAF Martin Baker ejection seats with molded seat belts and hardware

Hi, does anyone know if this will be avaiable outside the show as a wild weasel IV has been on my wishlist for a while?

I'd kill for this in 1/48 scale for the Academy F-4C. I don't know how many times I've posted that the G is my most wanted of wanted releases. Joel

Right now we are very busy with the 1/32 subjects, but we may look at just a Decal/ Exterior antenna set for release. That is the beauty of CAD is that having the parts printed in 1/48 scale for masters is a no brainer. Thinking off the top of my head, the only other part to make would be the WSO forward panel. Brazen makes beautiful AGM-45 Shrikes and Aries make a gorgeous cockpit. Decals are easy to downsize. I will keep this in mind. Thanks for your input, it is much appreciated. Gary

Here are a few pictures of the assembled cockpit. IN the pictures are the Kit rudder peddles that are used. Not shown but included are the 4 side panels, front canopy actuator cylinder, and the rear canopy lock. These are the Airframe Decals: These are the Shrike and AIM-7E2 Decals: More to follow. Gary
