Think I might give this old kit a try.

No experience with this one. But, it’s an old Monogram kit. How bad could it be?Proud Marine Dad wrote: ↑Tue Jul 09, 2024 3:01 pm Think I might give this old kit a try.

To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

I never had many issues with the old Monogram kits personally. How about you?LyleW wrote: ↑Tue Jul 09, 2024 3:14 pmNo experience with this one. But, it’s an old Monogram kit. How bad could it be?Proud Marine Dad wrote: ↑Tue Jul 09, 2024 3:01 pm Think I might give this old kit a try.

Welcome to stencil hell….ROFL! I’ve done Monogram kits as a kid in the late 70s and 80s. Never seen that boxing before.

Re: To build again or not?
I built the original release of the F-4C/D kit when it was new…. No PE like this one. I thought it was a fine kit back then, but I’m biased…

Re: To build again or not?
Nice. I'm going to build it just like on the box. This was an anniversary Phantom for service from 1963-1988.Stikpusher wrote: ↑Tue Jul 09, 2024 8:02 pm I built the original release of the F-4C/D kit when it was new…. No PE like this one. I thought it was a fine kit back then, but I’m biased…
