Ooh yes. Lovely choice!
Are you you going for RN or RAF?
The former I hope!

I hadn't chosen which scheme so I'll do the RN one (I hope this isn't a mistake! :whistle: ).

Have I ever mention that the Phantom is my favourite jet aircraft. :drool:

Do the RN one. I made the Matchbox version of it a few years back and I would be interested to see another one.

Had not realised until now that Fujimi has brought out a wonderful selection of British Phantoms! More then to add to the ever growing stash :grin:

Look forward to seeing you work your magic mate.
Cheers,
Matt

Prime,
These Fujimi Phantoms have been out for a good few years and are constantly re-released! Only slight down side is the moulds are starting to show their age and suffer from a few imperfections but are still the only 1/72 game in town for me.

Any progress Deacon?

2 weeks to go and a whole new set of GBs will be in progress. Would be good to see this one done in an RN stylie.

It looks like I won't get this finished in time for the end of the GB now.

Just as well I made up the 1:100 Phantom. :sweat:
