1:72 Aerocraft Models - For Airfix Kit

 

 

The new 1/72 Airfix UK Phantom was a very welcome kit. However it is lacking in a couple of areas. These three new sets have been made by Ali of Aerocraft models. All three sets come in a double style of packaging which is done to reduce the cost ratio for shipping. This though is a bad move which will encourage the modeller to buy more kits  

 

Exhausts

The new exhausts are 3D printed and are a direct replacement for the kit parts.

 

 

 

 

 

Detailed Intake Ramps

The new ramps address the issue of the missing vents on the top and bottom of the intake ramps. Also included in the set are new inserts for the rear fuselage by the exhausts. A small amount of kit surgery will e needed for this set.

 

 

 

 

Unarmed Inner & Outer Pylons

In this set you get new unarmed inner and outer pylons for the Phantom. The inner pylons can have the sidewinder rails mounted or not. The outer pylon was used on some occasions when the tanks were not fitted. The mounting plates at the top of the pylons are included as well. The new parts are direct replacements for the kit parts.

 

 

 

Conclusion

It is great to see Ali back in the game and this is certainly an interesting set of items 1/72 with the new Airfix Phantom out there.  Highly recommended.
