Popular Post HartDeco Posted April 3, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 3, 2020 (edited) Hi all. British Phantoms were always one of my favorite aircraft but never built a kit of one. Finally, I decided the time was right for it. The kit is Revell's rerelease of the Hasegawa FGR.2 kit. For this build I used an Aires resin cokpit and Xtradecal decals to build a 41sqn aircraft. I used AIM-9 Sidewinders from the Meng weapons set and a SUU-23 gunpod from Hasegawa. 41sqn was mainly a recon and ground attck squadron nut, from what I understand, this configuration was used from time to time. I used Gunze Aqueous paints over a black primer from Alclad. Weathering was done with a wash made from Abteilung oilpaints. Thank you for watching.

SAT69 Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 I really like that build. The center-line gun pod is something you don't often seen mounted on Phantom models. Adds a nice touch. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scimitar F1 Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Hard to believe that 41 Sqn had F-4s 50 years ago. You have modelled that scheme beautifully. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Callahan Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Superb Phantom mate, you make my day. The Phantom belongs to my favourite jets ever, whether if that british, american, japanese or german ones. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzby061 Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Perfect. Nice job on the finish & well hung (if you'll forgive the expression). Got one in the stash but no aftermarket - yet! Pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spitfire31 Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 The most convincing RAF Phantom I can remember seeing. Superb modelling. Kind regards, Joachim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimB Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Very, very line. You have nailed the look beautifully. It's nice to see a less weathered FGR2 - while the later schemes tended to be dirty, the earlier ones tended to be cleaner - at least as far I remember.

If you don't mind my asking, how are those shelves attached? I had something similar about 30 years ago. Unfortunately, the top shelf sagged in the middle under its own weight over time (only being supported on brackets at each end, which I really should have screwed the shelves to), came off at one end, fell, and smashed everything flat beneath it. Some support in the middle would have save a lot of anguish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
