Rabbit Leader Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 That’s turned out just lovely and I really like the Phantom in this wing folded configuration. I’m sure the stenciling took up a bit of time, however the end result is worth all the effort. Well modelled. Cheers.. Dave 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Great looking Fg.1 ... This looks vaguely familiar as I also did 007 when i built mine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jean Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Superb Phantom! The whole effort looks just right! I am still undecided between the Airfix and the old Fujimi F-4... But a FG.1 I shall model! Great show JR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomthounaojam Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Phabulous Phantom... imho Japanese and British's phantoms were the best looking, don't know when I will ever get mine, mine has left Uk but hasn't got it yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan P Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Lovely pholded Phantom there. And you did a great job with the zillion-odd stencils! Alan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichG Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 (edited) Looks phantastic! I think the Airfix Phantom is going to turn out to be something of a "Marmite Model". People seem to love it or hate it. What I find slightly odd is why people have a problem with it having too many options... (the usual complaint is "why didn't they include this or that feature"). And also issues about finesse of panel lines and soft plastic - at the end of the day it is an Airfix produced kit and no matter how much we wish it otherwise, that's their style so should be no real surprises. Personally I love it and as the FGR.2 tops the Airfix pre-orders I'm possibly not alone! Rich Edited February 21, 2018 by RichG 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epeeman Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 To be honest, not really a jet man, but I certainly can appreciate quality workmanship such as yours. Regards Dave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
