In the market there are also modern Tamiya and Zoukei Mura kits, but as I liked Academys way of making the fuselage and Meng did the same I choose Meng one and Tamiya only has early F-4B and I wanted to have long nose version. There are some price difference between Academy and Meng, but as this is only part comparison it is fair.
There are 10 years between these two kits. They seems to be quite alike in bigger things like fuselage etc. But Meng seems to have more thought in alignment things and Academy have some unnessesery part divisions. I pieced up some alikes and differences which seemed interesting to me. Stop the video in desired place to watch parts for longer.
I have already built Academy kit, so you can watch my build video for more info.
And wait for Meng build video and final which one is better video after I have built both and have full build experience out of both.

Good video. Bought a Meng Phantom F 4 E today. I look forward to see how it is. The music in the video takes me. Thank you.
Thanks! Good luck with your build!
Great video thanks!
@2:10 & @2:38 you are pointing to the wrong spot. Those are not Flaperons. Those are just plan flaps nearest to the body. The F-4E NEVER had flaperons it had a unique aileron/spoiler system. Meng has both seperate flaps and ailerons while Academy has fixed Flaps and Seperate Ailerons. The reason both kits have seperate ailerons is because on the real aircraft they droop when the airplane is at rest from lack of hydraulic pressure, and its easy to display the model at rest if the ailerons are seperate so they can be modeled in drooped position. On all Navy and F-4C/D the ailerons could droop in flight on landing and in that case they acted like flaperons but were not actually flaperons as such. In the flight manual its called "Aileron droop" But the F-4E (one of the subjects of this video) never had inflight drooping ailerons.
Thanks for comprehensive correction!
