Lovely, neat and crisp work! Thanks for sharing and for pointing out the problems you had. I think the model looks just great, despite the issues. How did you do the base?

Hi Frank. I'bought the base at " Coastal kits" : coastalkits.co.uk/ne..r-display-bases.html

Lovely job Didier. Seen a few examples of this but yours really stands out. Love that extended front landing gear. Got one in the stash.

Thanks for the pointer on the base, Didier! I´m in the midst of building mine and am so far quite happy about how the parts fit...

Very nice hi-legged Phantom 👍 Looks very classy in the dark blue & the base also adds a lot.
Was this one the Private-jet of James Bond?😉

Looking at the model you wouldn't think there was any trouble building it. Nicely done!

Hi guys,
This my Phantom FG1, 1/72, from Airfix.
Well.... this kit was much more painful to built, than i' initially thought.
The fittings are not that good and i' was surprised by that, since i' was expecting something of higher quality with such a modern kit.
Eventually, i' would say :
PROS :
- Engraving is pretty good, even if some louvers are missing (above the engine exhaust and atop the intake).
- Armament is nicely detailed
- Stencils are fine
- There is many options available (maybe too much ?) : folded wing, flaps up/down, etc...
CONS :
- The airframe is made of too many parts(compare to other Phantom kits), increase the chance to face tricky fittings
- The canopy doesn't fit very well, pushing to use the open configuration.
- Moreover, the cockpit is really basic, and that would justify to use the closed canopy configuration. I' replaced the original seats with the Quickboost ones.
There is more than 300 stencils to apply..... and it took me more than 5 hours to put them.... (none is missing, i' t
