TEZ Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 (edited) Finally finished the 892 build...This is the 1/48 Hasegawa Phantom FG.1 in the markings of 892 NAS, circa 1978. This particular aircraft, XT859, had participated in the record breaking trans Atlantic race in 1969. Used MRP paints throughout, weathered using oils, decals came from many sources - the side and wing codes were sprayed on. The crew access ladder came from Flightpath, seats were from Aires, cockpit details and chocks were scratchbuilt - plastic card., wire...

Chrisj2003 Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Phabulous. Love the subtle tonal variation. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBM Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Amazing, love the depth you've given to the model with the paintwork and weathering, a true masterpiece! Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony G Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Fantastic, Really great job The faded colouring of the grey is perfect and titanium stabiliser and heat shields finish looks very realistic as does the cockpit and canopies. The subtle detail in some areas would suggest that you have worked on these aircraft or have a very good eye. I can only hope mine turns out as well when I get a chance to start it.

Wlad Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Phabulous! I got one in the stash but can't find the decals I want. Phantoms were my favourite aircraft growing up, until I got into WWII fighters. Cheers, Wlad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One small point for information, A red band on the pod denotes its for ground training use only. Selwyn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MRMRL Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 This is a thing of beauty, I love the phantom, like a few others I really should get mine out of the stash and onto the bench (not that it will match this effort). I really like the markings as well, stunning all round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
