Mr B Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 (edited) Hi folks, Over tea with a modelling mate yesterday. I have decided to start this as my first build for 2018 as our local modelling chapter is doing a phantom g/b mid year. Nice kit all recessed, will be going oob with the exception of resin seats. Deleted. Not the wanted area will start tommorow with the cockpit. rgds brian Edited January 24, 2018 by Greg B 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Riot Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 I considered bidding for this on eBay but at £32 I bailed. Nice set of decals there, some good options of units. Will be interesting to see the build. Not sure why it's possible to get Harriers, Tornados and Jags in 1/48 for about £20 but Phantoms are nearly £50 with p&p!

Gundylunch Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Looks as through your decals could do with some sunbathing to correct the yellowing of the varnish, if you do this it should disappear after a day or so, but wise to revarnish them afterwards. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was going to suggest this too, thought I could remember something about taping them to the inside of a window to sort yellowing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I once did and the decals just crumbled, I mean the exposure to the Sun did correct the yellow parts but the film became brittle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
