Another 1/72 Brit Phantom

Hello again!

This is my second complete entry from the GB.

This time it's the Fujimi FGR2, what a world appart from the matchbox kit!!

OOB with the exception of the decals and scratch built FOD covers plus fantasy print shop RBF tags.

Lovely job, and one of my favourite Phantom colour schemes.

I remember having a go at that one in the early 90's, same kit. IIRC I was intending to use a free decal sheet that came with a magazine, and included both 19 and 92 sqn anniversary schemes.

I think that was one of a couple of builds that came unstuck with using the wrong thinner with Humbrol Gloss Cote (yep, was ready for the decalling stage.)

I followed the rule of thumb to use the manufacturer's own brand thinner. Which is wrong for Gloss Cote, should have been white spirit. It dried all sticky and gummy.

Tried to clean it off with white spirit, and the plastic started to crumble.

I probably still have the decal sheet, if only I could find another copy of the kit.
