(ex)Sgtrafman Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Hi everyone After 10 months I finally managed to finish a model (ok I still need to add the Skyflash missiles and tail hook) the model in question is the Revell / Hasagawa 1/48 Phantom FGR.2. Brilliant kit, absolutely loved it OOB it would build into a very pleasing replica of the real thing but with a little bit of AM it really shines. For this one I added the Quickboost Martin Baker Mk.7 ejector seats, Aires wheels and Airways cockpit upgrade set. She was finished with Tamiya paints and the kit decals. I enjoyed it so much that I have bought another and I'm going to throw as much AM at it as I can find (which by the way is quite a-lot - I'd appreciate it if you didn't tell the wife!) WIP can be found here So here she is, as ever any thoughts, observations (good or bad) are welcome. Iain. 64 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HansReggelsen Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Great model of a great plane! Also a great kit - as far as I know it hasn't been surpassed in this scale yet? Cheers and keep up the good work! Hans J 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PLC1966 Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 That is a very nice model there, quite fancy one of them. Just one note, I believe you mean II(AC) Sqn rather than 2at Sqn. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Des Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Beautifully finished Phantom. Interesting B&W photo of the same aircraft in Richard L. Ward's 'Phantom Squadrons Of The Royal Air Force And Fleet Air Arm' seen landing at Laarbruch in June 1976 carrying the centerline sharkmouthed EMI recce pod , a strike camera in the forward port Sparrow bay and a blue ballast Sparrow shape to starboard but with no wing pylons fitted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buzby061 Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Toomtastic! I've got one in the stash & the Aries pit for it. I was going to do it in the blue 93 Sqn scheme but have changed my mind now. Lovely job. Pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

binbrook87 Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 That is absolutely stunning. I always think that the RAF Phantom looks pretty mean in the original camo. Superb result 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
