scorvi Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 I am currently working on the Hasegawa FGR. 2 Revell release and making it into a FG. 1 RN. The kit has everything needed except the slotted stabs-got those from Hypersonic. . Also got a nice set of decals So here is the project outline: -1/48 Revell [Hasegawa] FGR.2 RAF Phantom -Hypersonic Slotted Stabs and detail set -Hypersonic Canopy detail set -Eduard FGR.2/FG.1 interior detail set -RAM Models Early British Phantoms decals -Mastercasters Martin-Baker H7 British Phantoms ejection seats -New Ware canopy masks So this is going well here are some in progress shots.

Hammerhead Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Looks good so far. You may want to add some wheels to your aftermarket, the wheels from the kit are for C/D/E/F/G versions. RAF used F-4J (USN) type wheels. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

305swag Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 That’s a very nice looking build, I love RN and RAF Phantoms. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

305swag Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 What load out are you planning on? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scorvi Posted November 7, 2021 Author Share Posted November 7, 2021 Well 4 sparrows from the kit. Also 4 Brit. bombs on a pair of TER's They are Eduard's Brassin nice TER set--I know they are NOT an exact match for RN TER's But I dont know of any post-war RN accurate TER's in 1/48? I used these bombs: :1000lb bombs set https://spruebrothers.com/resrs480188-1-48-reskit-1000lb-retarded-bomb-checks-117-tail-951-tail-fuze/ Something like this but with ONLY 4 bombs and wing tanks on the outer pylons.: It is pretty accurate loadout certainly plausible BUT no real photo evidence.

305swag Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Interesting load out for sure. I’ve seen them with the un guided rocket pods as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
