Billy54 Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 I finished this kit around the end of August last year. it's the Airfix FG.1 Phantom with the following upgrades Freightdog Nose Aerocraft Intakes Xtradecal Decals (X72296) Eduard Canopy Mask Master Probe Set Paints were Humbrol (blue and red) and Testors (white) I'm usually an "out of the box" builder and the above modifications were something rare for me. I would like to be more complimentary of the Airfix kit because it does have a lot of nice features (folded wings, extended flue probe, etc) but I did find it a challenge and perhaps the modifications added to my frustrations. 35 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthony in NZ Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 That looks just wonderful. The finish is spot on and the paint/decal work is clean. Awesome..... it's hard to believe it's not the Hasegawa 1/48 kit! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha Delta 210 Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Awesome result! I have vague recollections of seeing this machine at Greenham Common as a lad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, apparently the was at least one other Phantom there in 1983, XT863 "G" No 111 Sqd and I have the decals for it and a couple of Fujimi kits so I plan to build one in the scheme from that weekend and display them side by side.
