Cutting Edge 1/48
F-4 Slotted Stabilators w/o Stiffeners

Thanks to the recent conversions produced by Cutting Edge for the 1/48 scale Hasegawa F-4J and F-4C/D Phantom II kits, we now have some additional 'raw material' available for those AMS special projects. This release replicates the early slotted stabilators that equipped the USAF, USN, and USMC F-4s as well as many of the Phantoms exported to other air forces.

This conversion to render the Hasegawa 1/48 F-4J into the F-4B/N required the kit's stabilators to be changed from slotted to unslotted types. These unslotted stabilators are now available separately should you want to backdate or enhance your 1/48 Hasegawa or Monogram Phantom kits.

Like the commercial says, this conversion is so simple, even a caveman can do it...simply swap the kit stabs with these resin replacements. You will have to install your own mounting pins, but that is why I still reflect a minimum of an intermediate skill level to get the most out of this set.

Definitely recommended!

My sincere thanks to Meteor Productions for this review sample!
