Revell Blue Angels F-4J

May 31, 2005 6 Replies

Was at the HL checking out the sale today and came across the "current" Revell Blue Angels F-4J. Is this the old Monogram kit, or a repackaging of the Hasegawa kit? If it's the latter, may need to pick one up.

Sorry, it's the former.

Although the F-4J is a good kit, plenty of detail at a very ecent price, especially when compared to the Hasegawa kits.

Only drawback to the kit is that it's molded in the same blue plastic as the Blue Angel F-18, so some primer is in order if you want to paint it a different color.

Hope they added the exhausts from the C/D kit. The BA F-4Js didn't have the standard -J exhaust.

Guys, thanks for the info. That's kind of what I expected. I've got a couple of Monogram J's in the stash.I was just hoping I'd get a Hasegawa J for like 8 or 10 dollars. Dave,they may have changed the burner cans, but I doubt it.

One thing I will say for this Blue Angels kit. It might be worth picking up at Hobby Lobby this week for 1/2 price just to get the Blue Angels book.

No dice, the kit is a straight repop of the F-4J, no new burner cans.

I have the Hasegawa F-4J Blue Angels kit, and it comes with 2 resin F-4C/D exhausts.
