scottyphbeta Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 May I present my latest attempt at an RAF Phantom... Fujimi 1/72, McDonnell Douglas Phantom FGR2, XV419 / G of 29 Sqn, RAF Coningsby from1981. As always, I've tried to get it true to life and from the reference photo's it was still carrying the DSG coloured wing tanks and some of the warning signs were not yet in the low vis scheme. Painted with Xtracolor Enamels and the Humbrol Matt Cote as per usual, after market decals from Xtradecals. I have the Plane Crazy/Gemini Aces diecast model and it was always the plan once I got back into modelling to re-create the die casts and then move them on. The Die-cast and a photo of original aircraft for reference. 30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booty003 Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Very smart mate. I used to have loads of diecast (and have done Code 3 conversions of lots of them). The GA model is nice but is nowhere near as good as your model. There is no comparison when you put them side by side. I have sold of almost all of my diecast now. Cracking build and looks so much better, nice one bud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
binbrook87 Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Superb build. Love the UK Phantoms in low viz camo. Nice work on the weathering and patience with the stencilling! 👍👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

72modeler Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Say what you will about the new-tool Airfix, Academy, and Fine Molds Phantoms, but it seems to me, at least from the ones I've seen here by BM'ers, that the Fujimi 1/72 Phantoms do not give anything up to the much newer releases in the hands of a good modeler. You have a beautiful FGR2 there, Scotty! Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
