Thanks to everyone who took the time to react, comment and help out with this build.

A huge shout out to @mouse808 who gave me access to a whole load of his pictures of the real thing.

 

I hope to see some of you on the next one.

 

Thanks for looking,

 

Cheers,

Alistair

The Phantom looks great. 72nd isn't a scale I work with but I am tempted to get the new Airfixkit after seeing so many on here looking as good as they are.

It's a good kit but can be challenging regarding the fit in places.

That may have been operator error, of course.

There have also been issues with warping on the sprues but I would heartily recommend it.

 

Cheers,

Alistair

Thanks Chris,

I'm looking forward to it too.

I've been itching to get my grubby paws on the plastic since I bought it.

My pleasure Alistair, I've been following your build, I might steal your sepia wash for mine, it looks awesome.

 

It's really good for blending burnt and oily effects together.

 

Cheers,

Alistair
