I have the cockpit set and it's very nice indeed as a starting point, but it REALLY could do with a instruction sheet of some kind.
I am also a plastic kit modeller, but I can't understand where some of the parts go.
there are four parts that look like bomb sway braces but is that really what they are.
Also, please can anyone out there tell me if there should be a instrument dials backing sheet to go with it ?
A plastic modelling tip that I will pass onto you all.
Its to use the Dull Gold foil that you find around the tops of wine bottles, is just about the perfect colour match for ejector seat straps etc, as used on the seats in the Phantom.
Also because it's foil, it will readily form to the shapes of both the seat and over the pilots.
Another tip is to go to a drapes shop where they sell buttons and other sowing stuff, and look for a sparkling clear cristal type spangled type thing, and you can trim the front of the missiles and then stick the crystals on the front, and it looks like the missiles heat seeker head.
Happy new year to you all from the U.K.
Gordon Fraser.

Not exactly on topic, but since plastic parts are being discussed, I am offering this tip for the F-4's plastic main gear doors...
A non-perfect landing (wing low) resulted in the right main gear door contacting the ground and breaking. Here's a <flight proven> tip to prevent this from happening again. I glued about a 1/2 inch wide, very thin (est. 1/64 in thick) carbon sheet to the inside of the gear doors' bottom edge and painted it to match. To attach the carbon sheet to the gear doors, I used the tacky foam glue (that comes with the F-4) for a flexible bond. Clamping for several hours was required to ensure the carbon sheet formed to the door shape and didn't detach when the clamp was removed. This is an "invisible" fix that, so far, has prevented any more main gear door breakage. I got the very thin carbon sheet off another crashed model's main spar (plywood + carbon laminate)...worked great. Spare main gear doors are available from MRC, but this tip might save you the hassle.

Thank you so much. That panel photo is extremely helpful.
I agree that the cockpit kit is a real upgrade but not very scale, and I understand what Motion has tried to do by producing this kit.
I am going to use them as a starting point.
that's the part that I can't identify. I have four of them in my kit. Maybe Alpha can help us here.
