My first entry (with possibly 1 or 2 F-4J(UK) to follow) is the 1/48 Hasegawa / Revell kit. This is part of a job lot of three Phantoms parts purchased a few years back in one plain box. Some of the sprues are marked Hasegawa and some have no branding:
It will be built as XV590 "001/R" of 892 NAS from HMS Ark Royal. In 1978 whilst exercising with USS Saratoga it received the "Colonial Navy" zap on the fuselage together with a modified roundel sporting a white star as per Xtradecal sheet X48186. Also pictured are brass pitots and the Wolfpack "flaps down" set:
I have the Hobbydecal livery decals and rub-down stencil set produced as a special edition for 2008 IPMS Scale Modelworld:
Have also got an Eduard cockpit etch, so might make a start this afternoon
Regards
Mike
