Reggie, First and foremost, great build with your 892 NAS bird. I like the pose, for sure. Funnily enough I have a desire to do the 'reverse' scheme - one of those infamous VMFA-531 'Grey Ghosts' F-4Ns that had to sport 892 NAS tail markings during a cross-deck exercise in order to disguise their presence aboard HMS Ark Royal during a port visit to Malta in the 1970s (At the time the Maltese Government had taken a very Anti-American stance). I may be able to help you out with 29 Sqn decals for your FGR.2. Let me know if I can help 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColinChipmunkfan Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Great looking Phantom, well done sir!. The tradition of zapping visiting aeroplanes goes back a long way- this one was one of the most memorable and amusing. Colin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They look like AIM-9L, and I'm fairly sure they'd be too late for a Fleet Air Arm Phantom, as they were passed to the RAF in 1978. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they drop sometime later this month. Thanks for offering with the 29 Sqn decals. I am looking for a set similar to when they painted the phantoms the barley grey. specially red xxx over white ( similar to the marking on the Typhoons) and the logo of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
