1:48 Phantom FGR 2 92Sqn XV408 Special Scheme

[Latinbear]

Absolutely beautiful! A really terrific piece of work. Nice to have the real thing to use as the guide too!

Lovely model.

 

Fur future use, I am pretty certain the Radar Antenna was a light/mid grey colour rather than a beige.

I loved building this as part of my model clubs group build: T101 (101 years of Tangmere Airfield). XV408 is currently resident at Tangmere Military Aircraft Museum, which is home to my club: Tangmere Sector Modellers IPMS. It is being lovingly restored to its most famous 'blue' scheme that 92Sqn had done in homage to the blue Hunters that the Squadron used for their display team.

 

This is the Hasegawa 'blue special' kit with Aires resin cockpit, Radar, electronics bay, allycat seamless intakes, scratch built parachute compartment (and other bits). Painted with Vallejo Model Air insignia blue.

 

101 will be at Scale Model World, so please come and see us.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Excellent build!

 

Trying to get hold of this kit but can't find it anywhere.

Blue special is one of the decal options I believe.

That's is a most impressive model!  And I like that nose-on view best too!  Great scale modeling RMCS!
