McDonnell Douglas Phantom FG.1 / FGR.2 RAF

This is a new complete master with separate flaps to the front and trailing edges of the main wings, plus a positional tailplane enabling the modeller to display the model in landing/take off configuration. The sprues containing the separate flaps are marked P (port) S (starboard).

The kit has 55+ resin parts and a one piece clear resin canopy.

CAUTIONARY NOTE: Release the canopy from the main casting block then gradually trim to fit, part of the clear resin canopy forms into the spine.  A template is enclosed to assist with positioning the angles of the flaps.

NOTE: the belly tank has two holes to the rear, the updated version had finlets use stretch sprue or brass rod if modelling the latter.

The decal sheet gives the modeller a choice of three Royal Air Force squadron markings, 41, 43 & 111 Squadrons, plus a combination marked 111 & 43 Squadron. XT874 111 squadron based at Leuchars was zapped by No 43 squadron applying checks to port and starboard sides. The Fighting Cock ( Comic rooster ) ident 69 was port side only. See colour profile sheet. Applying the numerous maintenance/data markings see the enclosed stencil placement sheet.

To enhance your Phantom model we have produced a 15-part rear end exhaust silver panel decal (code 144123) available in our after-market store.

The centre line fuel tank can be replaced with the EMI Reconnaissance pod (144120) or SUU-23/A gun pod (144121) available in our after-market store.
