Hello All,
I present to you the Airfix Phantom II in all its primitive glory:
The mould dates from 1965, this example being moulded in 1990 in France. This will be "strictly OOB", which for me means:
* new cockpit
* possibly open canopies
* undercarriage improvements
* sanding the wing to fix the poor fuselage fit and thick port wing
I will be finishing it in the classic VF-74 scheme as per the original boxing (hoping the decals are OK - carrier film looks non-existent).
My son ate the last of the bread in the wee small hours, so today for breakfast I am mostly eating microwaved pappadoms with last year's home-made chutney, and a cuppa:
Heigh-ho!
Thanks for looking,
Adrian
