Popular Post cathasatail Posted April 26, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted April 26, 2018 Evening all, Here's my attempt at the relatively new Airfix Phantom FG.1 1:72 kit- by far the most enjoyable kit I have ever had the pleasure to build! Combining superb surface detail with a pleasurable building process and a unique subject, the Airfix kit is certainly one of the finest new-tooled kits that they have produced so far (in my opinion). Enough with the superlatives- on with the build! Kit: Airfix McDonnell Douglas Phantom FG.1 Paints: Vallejo "Model Air" (a variety; mainly black primer, a custom mix for the DSG, white, red) Weathering: Ultimate Weathering Wash: Dark Dirt and some brown chalk pastels (I found these recently and thought it might be worth trying them out) Time for some pictures: Thanks for having a look Best wishes, Sam 82 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iainpeden Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 A beautiful build, Sam. Having found it quite a tricky build I wonder what you did different to me (apart from inate ability of course!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jean Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 (edited) Beautiful Phantom! Congrats!!! But when I see the zillions of stencils all over the airframe, I wonder why I ever wanted to build it... Patience is a blessing! Well done. JR Edited April 26, 2018 by jean 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
