Well done Joe, I like a good Phantom, and that's just what you delivered, great build. Remember seeing an American one at Leuchars in the 1960's what was amazing was the amount of writing all over it, it was like a flying book. Cheers Derek

Another brilliant update of a great old kit. Always good to see someone still enjoying an old model and making a great job of it. A few hours of enjoyment for very little money.

I'm not a great jet fan but I do love the Phantom. It comes from an era when everything was just a massive pair of engines capable of amazing levels of power and carrying capacity. Just like the Lightning you couldn't help but be amazed at the sheer over indulgance of it. I think this reached a head with the TSR2 and then we started to think straight again but the Phantom really was the last of the big American powerhouses.

I will admit that I recall having seen some in action at my local airshow as a child. The sound those engines made when they hit the reheat ...whew...puts the fear back in you, to be sure.

He was flying in at a medium altitude over the airfield, just cruising, after a roll out or some aerobatic thing, when BLAMMO, he hits the afterburners. Holy S. Did that scare me! They sounded like two massive explosions, sharp thunderclaps at the same time. I wanted to be a pilot.

Thought we'd lost it after being so overdue!! But great to see it turn up, lovely work on a classic piece of Airfix plastic. Nice one, Joe

Cheers, Neil
