At Sea Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Ok, got home from work & sorted through my stash. Hasegawa Phantom FGR.2 1/48. Using decals from the AirDoc set to make 19 Squadron's XV470 as depicted on the box art from Fujimi's 1/72 Phantom FGR.2 Quite why this is the 'Last British Phantom' I am not sure, maybe they are being Uber Pedantic and refer to the FG.1 as the 'First British Phantom'... ... but there you go, that's the Japanese for you. Eduard cockpit & masks, Quickboost seats and some Aeries wheels. I'm looking forward to this, love building these Hasegawa Phantoms. Airfix's offering next year had better be pretty good to beat it! Oh, sorry RMP2 but it will be low-viz... From what I can see most of the Phantom's colours are low-viz for most of the 80's. I'm saving up my grey/green decals for the 70's group build... 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to see a RAF Toom in this GB Already planned that one!6 squadron;3 sparrow & strike cam, 6x rocket pods, 6x 500llb bombs with retarding fins, strike camera and a gun pod on the C/L.
