Building the Airfix 1:72 RN Phantom FG.1 vyhliadka: Prezentácia Mozaika zoznam 1 April 14, 2019
The beginning - the kit box with artwork straight from "Sailor" and the Big Ed.

The very neat coloured PE for the interior
3 April 14, 2019
I got two of the second PE sheet, most of it for flaps and jet exhausts.
4 April 14, 2019
I tend to start with the most intimidating-looking PE item. It was much easier than expected.
5 April 14, 2019
The kit is engineered in a quite complicated manner, but mostly it fit very well. The same can be said about the PE items - they fit very well.
6 April 14, 2019
Working my way through possible subassemblies, I made progress unexpectedly fast.
7 April 14, 2019
The heads of the SNEB rocket pods were sprayed black and picked out with True Metal Gunmetal.
8 April 14, 2019
The pre-printed PE makes things easier and much nicer.
9 April 14, 2019
Even the ejection seats with all the assorted PE were a quite straightforward build.
10 April 14, 2019
Fitting the cockpit into the fuselage.
11 April 14, 2019
Making sure of a good fit with the fuselage halves. Tamiya Extra Thin was applied sequentially and from the underside.
12 April 14, 2019
To protect the cockpit interior, I attached the closed canopy using Humbrol Maskol.
13 April 14, 2019
The resin wheels are very neat and good value for money.
14 April 14, 2019
This is where the very first PE part ends up.
15 April 14, 2019
I used very little filler. The small seams at the front end of the wheelwell are one of the areas.
16 April 14, 2019
The other was the seam between the inner and outer wing panel from the underside.
17 April 14, 2019
The intakes have been painted and decaled prior to assembly, now I´m heading towards using Alclad.
18 April 14, 2019
More subassemblies waiting in the paintshop.
19 April 14, 2019
Fiddly but necessary -working with the excellent paint masks. I also masked the undersides of the canopy parts for ease of painting.
20 April 14, 2019
After using Alclad on the metallic areas, quite some masking, priming, preshading and painting.
21 April 14, 2019
The Alclad areas look really quite nice.
22 April 14, 2019
The underside with some preshading.
23 April 14, 2019
Decaling begins - this is just the stencil placement guide.
24 April 14, 2019
The underside with all the decals needed. An exercise in patience and serenity.

Album info Using one of the markings options from the kit, plus the Eduard Big Ed set of assorted PE and masks, plus the Eduard resin wheels, I built one of the aircraft depicted in the classic BBC documentary "Sailor".
