1:48 Phantom FGR XV408 92Sqn RAF


RMCS

Recommended Posts

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.48

Very nicely done - like all the extra bits added. Here is a picture of the real thing leaving Boscombe Down in 1992 - all noise, fire and smoke! - happier times!
