The highly anticipated F-4B Phantom II in 1:32 is just about at completion from the innovators at Red Pill's factory in Turkey. The last step is packaging up the kit to take flight! Although the kit is going to be released later than hoped, Red Pill took the high road in making sure that every aspect of this state-of-the-art Phantom is beyond our expectations instead of trying to meet an artificial deadline. Red Pill is a new model manufacturer and this is their very first kit - what a huge endeavor to take on! Those who were able to see the test shots at the IPMSUSA 2025 show in Hampton VA last August will know that the kit is an engineering marvel far ahead of any other kit currently on the market.
Based on the current information, we are expecting to receive the main shipment likely in June. Red Pill is planning on arranging an advance small shipment for us that we hope to receive the second half of May. Those of you who have pre-ordered the kit from us at the IPMSUSA 2025 show, we thank you - your orders will be filled first from this advance shipment.
Pricing is yet to be determined as one of the big factors in calculating the lowest possible price for our customers is the shipping cost, which is currently unknown. Once available, we will announce pricing and begin accepting pre-orders.
As a teaser of what is coming, here are pictures of the sprues that Red Pill recently sent us.
