Wanted: GPM #155 - F-4E Phantom

[Sakrison]

I'm still looking, still hoping. Will pay any reasonable price or make a generous trade.

[airdave]

you are looking for this kit?

is it rare, or hard to find?
is it valuable?
I don't have this kit...but I love Phantoms.
I have that other camouflage paintscheme Phantom kit. (from Maly)

Should I be loking for this gray one?
What is it...Navy or Marines?

[paperengineer]

The F-4E is Air Force. The F-4A, B, J, N and S are all navy/marines

Just went through my stash, no joy on the GPM Phantom. Got the Maly but you DON"T want that one.

David,
If you can’t find anyone over here with one for sale or trade, there’s one at model-hobby.pl, here, about 1/3 way down the page, for a decent price:
.: WWW.MODEL-HOBBY.PL :. Internetowy Sklep Modelarski - Modele Kartonowe, Modele plastikowe, Akcesoria modelarskie
and another here at Kartonmodellshop.de, 5th from the bottom, albeit a little pricey:
GPM - modellservice - der Kartonmodellshop
Of course now you’re talking about extra $ for shipping across the pond...
Anyway, HTH, -J

It's out of print. I have built the GPM F-4 "Mig Killer." it's similar to the Maly F-4. I have Yoav's IDF F-4 and I've ordered the new Navy F-4 from GPM. I love this airplane and want to build all four of them. The USAF F-4 (GPM #155) is the one that I haven't been able to find.

Thank you! I hadn't seen those two.

I started building the Halinski F-4 Phantom. It has some serious fit problems and I gave up on it. I've built the GPM "Mig Killer" F-4 and it was an excellent kit. I'm assuming (hoping) that GPM's other F-4s will be just as good. I know Yoav's F-4 is a winner.

It is basically the same kit as the mig killer with the airforce paint pattern and the gatling gun of course. everything else is the same, including the lack of wing bulges particular to this model phantom.

A note in case you want to build Yoav's model and place next to these other F-4's. You need to scale it down from 1/30 to 1/33 scale as Yoav's models are all in 1/30 scale and are noticeably bigger.


You probably know this, but I thought it merits a repeat.
