Scooter Posted January 18, 2009 Report Posted January 18, 2009 Finished my Fujimi Phantom FG.1 XT864/007 today. Shown is "007" as she appeared in early December 1977 as a member of 892 Squadron deployed on HMS Ark Royal. The kit is a fairly decent replication, but there are a few nice additions, like rubber wheels, and multiple version capability with the decals. As many know, the primary role of the FG.1s was fleet defence, which consisted at that time of numerous flights to intercept the Soviet Tu-95s as they roamed the North Atlantic. "007" is depicted on station, ready, armed and about to go "Hunting for Bear". Enjoy AC
Dick Montgomery Posted January 19, 2009 Report Posted January 19, 2009 I still like F-4s. I remember them flying in and out of Bergstrom AFB in Austin!
PaulBradley Posted January 19, 2009 Report Posted January 19, 2009 Nice one, Scooter - always good to see British aircraft here. :)

ghodges Posted January 19, 2009 Report Posted January 19, 2009 Lovely F-4! There's something about those British Phantoms with the jacked up nose gear that makes their F-4s look even more rakish than the rest! Thanks for posting! GIL
Glynyrd Posted January 24, 2009 Report Posted January 24, 2009 Very nice, AJ. I love the RBF tags. It's hard to believe that scheme was over 30 years ago. Thanks Glenn
