This is one of a bunch of RF-4s from Hasegawa, and is very
welcome to us Phantom Phanatics
it is a very late member of the family of "Bs" with a thick or bulged
wing.

The kit comes with a choice of camera bays, the old "square"
type and the later smooth rounded type, there
are two sets of decals both for VMFP-3 but one with theGeen fin with
gold fox head and an overall black one.

You will need to be carefull with your choice of decals if
you don't use the decals supplied as only 11 big
wings were built and only the last three had the rounded
camera bay.

The A/C with the big wing were
numbered 157342---7351 but only 7349---7351 had the
rounded Bay

The construction is up to the usual Hasegawa standards and
there are no problems with the fitbut you will
need a delicate touch for the small parts of the cameras.
