Many thanks to everyone's kind comments, I'm very humbled to think that the many great modellers on this site are liking my work. Thanks again to everyone 🙂 hi David. no, that's fine. saw it sold on ebay and suddenly realized it looked familiar. but couldn't remember where I had seen it recently. if it had been a british phantom, I would have been on it!! btw if any of you other guys ever want to sell any of your british phantoms, any scale, please let me know. I have 6 x 1/32 phantoms. 14 x 1/48 with 2 to come. and 27 x 1/72 kits and Gemini diecasts. including 5 code 3s. thanks. thanks.

Honestly, I don't know why Tamiya avoided doing an FG 1 or and FRG 2, it would have sold like hot cakes I reckon. I wonder if there is a conversion kit out there somewhere for it, if anyone knows of it, could they link it please 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Brantley Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 There isn't much I can add to the many superlatives honestly due this fantastic model. Yes, it does look so real and that is a true testament to the skills of the builder. It's just great scale modeling! 😀 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
