McDonnell Douglas Phantom FG.1 Navy

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 four naval squadrons, NASU (Naval Air Support Unit) -767 – 892 squadron & PP-OCU (Phantom Post-Operational Conversion Unit) see colour profile sheet. Applying the numerous maintenance/data markings see stencil placement sheet.

This kit is compatible with kit number 144039 Ark Royal Deck.

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.

NOTE: The catapult bridle is not included in this kit. See the Ark Royal catapult deck (code 144039).
