goggsy Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Great job on the pit. I’ve got a Revell British Phantom in the stash, am I right in thinking it’s the same kit? When I first saw odd job there I thought It was the Fat Controller from Thomas the Tank Engine for a moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this is not the end of the world as Aeries resin FGR.2 wheels are better and don't perish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
At Sea Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Lovely job. I have built lots of these and have about 7 more in the stash. A brilliant kit of a brilliant aeroplane! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr B Posted February 12, 2018 Author Share Posted February 12, 2018 Thanks for the nice words guys..... I would not know for sure on the Revell reboxing.........thanks for the clarification "At Sea".........looks like something like the Sea King and Skyhawk kits both reboxed by Revell ....and Promodeller......... Yes Hasegawa phantoms build up nicely......details are good considering their time frame of entry into the scene............even the raised line varients.....they had those lovely color inserts with the painted up kit.... Will try and save the decals....where possible...............really looking forward to the painting session..........hope no dramas lerk....................trying to complete it by months end.....if all goes well Rgds Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bar side Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Nice. What sqn are you going to make her? I’d mine in 92 sqn. Keep meaning to make up one of these nose straps that always seem to be on when parked up 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
At Sea Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Don't panic! I'm back home from sea on Wednesday & haven't forgotten your decals! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr B Posted February 26, 2018 Author Share Posted February 26, 2018 Cheers guys Its going to be a 92 sqn bird. At sea- thanks....i was just a bout to pm you today. I might not be needing the decals. I have tried the kit decals yesterday and they seem to be working....got some of it down yesterday.......without any issues.......so looks like I wasted money on the air doc sheet......but not all wasted as the air doc colors look much more vibrant. Will keep you posted if I still need them or not.....thanks again for obliging... You can see some of my progress on another thread for the g/b that I am doing and the phantom is in the background there If I have time, I might complete the decaling tonight...........not likely but will try........as work days are a bit hectic.... rgds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29Triplex Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Mr B, Great progress so far, and I await photo's of the finished build with baited breath! You say it's going to be a 29(F) Sqn kite - great choice , but I am slightly biased as it was my old squadron. What decals are you using for the XXX for the fin, and the squadron shield? 29(F) is the least covered of any squadron in 1/48th scale (only covered by Maintrack as far as I know), so I would love to get some. Cheers ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
At Sea Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Look forward to seeing the progress! The Airdoc sheet is in demand so you'll not loose on that score! Let me know if you need anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shan Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 those decals look to be yellowing a little. you've got to get a zip lock bag and place the decals inside and stick it on a window facing the sun. it works wonders. i had that issue when i was building my tornado which i bought 8 years back. the decals clear up pretty good. it took me about 1 week before the decals improved.

29Triplex Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Looking resplendent in her 92 Sqn colours, which brings back fond memories for me - of 'Wilders' in the 80's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
