1/72 Fujimi Phantom FG.1 rebox by Hobby 2000 - released 2025

Thanks, Anthony. And thanks also to @matford - that's perfect!! The pictures show how much to enlarge the ramps by referencing the ladder push in door. I'll cross reference to Jumpei's drawings: Thanks again. Gene K -

What is different in the Intake ramp patterns between US and British? I assume you are talking about the variable ramp with the boundary layer holes? The intake itself was made larger, but was the size of the fixed and variable intake ramp changed too? Thanks, Gene K -

So the £22 includes the 20% VAT, I assume. Without VAT that would be ~£18 (~$25US for me). I have no idea what if any tariff will be applied to me in US when those kits come out in Aug - Sep. The current Trump tariff on Japanese goods is 24%, so I may end up paying more than you? I have no idea who pays what or where, but I assume HLJ will impose the tariff tax before shipping as they do for the VAT? Any economists out there ... or is this off-topic? Gene K -

Good Grief!!! I was going to suggest ordering direct from Japan where the kits would be around 20GBP. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OjYoNL4g5Vg Gene K -

Only thing "missing" is the red bag on top of the seat holding the ejection seat pins. See here for more detail about Red Flags and Little Red Bags. Simply amazing build! Gene K

I needed a Phantom fix this morning, so of course had to revisit some of Giorgio's threads, including this masterpiece. Just outstanding in all respects, and I thank him for lighting up my Phantom modeling life! What's the next Phantom coming, Giorgio? And did you say "soon"? Gene K
