davebruce Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Hi all, Back again this time with the Airfix fgr.2. The build went ok tho there was an awful lot of mold seam lines that had to be taken care of and that front portion of the canopy was a bit of a bad fit. I tried to sand it down but it was getting a bit thin and feared it was going to break on me, plus my filling skills need a bit of work. The decal are from Xtradecal. The 2 that sit on the fin tip rwr antenna are way to big and has to be trimmed down and is now 9 squares across and not 10. Chose to do it in the 19Sqdrn scheme for XV422 which accidentally shot down an RAF Jaguar although I believe that it was in the green/grey colours. Painted with Tamiya on top and nose, Xtracrylic bottom and AK Xtreme metal for engine end. I also tried salt weathering for the first time but didnt go 2 mad on it hopefully. Well here she is, hope she meets the approval of the experts. If not then I will take it and destroy it. 😁. As always, thanks for having a look. Dave. 41 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAT69 Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Looks very very good. Very subtle weathering, from what I can see. I like this model a lot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisj2003 Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Phabulous 👌. It’s a nicely worn Phantom in 1/72; what’s not to like. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phone Phixer Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 You have done an excellent job in the build and finish of that Phantom. Issues I would pick out are with the Airfix product. Extra marks for the choice of Squadron, happy days. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
