Cheers guys.

 

The scheme was less than a month old when XV428 crashed at RAF Abingdon during a display practice, unfortunately.

 

As a bonus, here is a pic of all 5 of the Airfix Phantoms that I have built so far

Gee thanks Chris.  Now I HAVE to build both of the Airfix Phantoms that I have recently acquired.  This FGR.2 along with it`s stablemates is very inspirational for me to speed up the my current project.  I`ll be elated if the one I build is a fraction of the quality of your`s on display here.  You should be proud of the results. Well done!!!!!! :clap:

Falcon, 

According to the notes I have with the ModelDecal sheet for this scheme, there wasn't much stencilling on the aircraft, did your decal instructions have anything different?

 

Cheers
