Latinbear Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 What an absolute beauty! Not only is it a Phantom but the sea camo versions are gorgeous. I have several of these in 1/72nd and 1/48th in the stash. Would love to see some more pictures if you have them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcdonnell Posted April 13, 2021 Author Share Posted April 13, 2021 “Hello,Friends” - Just a quick message to thank you all for your kind replies. I’m delighted to be picking up the reins again on Britmodeller. Please forgive my ‘haphazard’ posting as I need to re-educate myself and at the same get used to using ‘Village Photos’ having changed to them from ‘Flickr’. My Best Regards To You All.👏😉👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Hello and thank you so much,Andy.I just used plasticard ‘half-round’ sprue,filed and shaped,for the additional ‘blisters’ on the tail fin. As for the ‘folded’ outer wings I made my own ‘discreet’ hinges from paper staples.I drilled two fine holes in corresponding positions on the inside edges of the main and outer wings.I basically trimmed the staples into an ‘L-shape’ and fixed them in place in the main wings.The outer wings were then lowered onto the vertical parts of the staples assuming the ‘folded’ position.Once happy with their seating I fully fixed them in-situ with superglue.😉👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
