Just going into www.scalemodellingnow.com ... here's my short HD video review and in-box browse for the latest version of the Airfix 1:72 scale Phantom - this time the FG.1
Come and visit us very soon for hundreds of 'how-to' videos and so much more :) Geoff C.

b you were asking about the decals. They are water slide decals and very good quality. Airfix now uses Cartograf quality making them among the best in the market. GC

Nice one William and we have two great full builds of this kit on the way in SMN very soon - the first one should start this week 😃👍

Thanks for the review. Have been thinking about returning to scale modelling with Covid lockdown. Was about to buy this until you got to the decals. Think I might go for a Hurricane instead 😆

Hi Duncan - plenty of stencils that’s for sure but in this scale you don’t have to add them all! A couple of full builds about to start in SMN too - do check out www.scalemmodellingnow.com ideal for anyone like yourself getting back into the hobby 😉👍GC

@@geoffcoughlin7310 Hi Geoff. I used to do commission builds of WW2 tanks for 1/56th wargaming. I would have to add all the stencils. My completionist streak wouldn't let me do otherwise. 😆

Hi Geoff I have this in the stash and can I ask is it worth building and are there any potential pitfalls I should be aware of... IF I ever get around to building it?. Thanks Damien.

@@Kickback-dm7zt Hi Damien - yes, it certainly is. The fit is very good and sure, it doesn't have the slatted grills above the intakes but these are easily added or you can get a resin replacement. There's a huge build on this coming in my new eBook: Building The British Phantoms - Volume One: The FG.1 Phantom II. It's to be published by KLP Publishing so keep an eye out for that. In due course a full build with HD videos is coming to www.scalemodellingnow.com (SMN) - probably next year. If take a look at the SMN Facebook page and search the photos for FG.1 Phantom you should fine the pics I posted quite recently. Good luck, Geoff C

I just ordered one but I'm going to paint it in the second livery. May I ask you if you know the actual dimensions (specifically the length) of the model itself because I want to know how it'll fair against my harrier gr1
