Academy 1/72 USN F-4J “VF-84 Jolly Rogers”
By Matt Bittner
I won't go into detail of this release of the Academy 1/72 F-4J because this kit and the one already released contains the same plastic, the only difference being the new decals printed by Cartograf in Italy (and being Cartograf you can be assured of excellent quality). The markings that come with this kit are:
- F-4J, 155861, VF-84, AE/200, USS Roosevelt, 1970, CAG aircraft
- F-4J, 155858, VF-84, AE/204, USS Roosevelt, 1970
So if you're looking for a top-notch 1/72 F-4J this is your kit. While some might be put off by the "snap-type kit" it is, don't be because this is a first-rate kit. In fact some of the parts are better glued anyway.
My thanks to MRC for the review sample.
