Hi guys.
Well im trying so hard to get the enthusiasm to actually try and build something.A bad case of Sciatica has really curtailed any building.Sitting for longer then a few minutes causes a lot of discomfort.The other week a Fujimi British Phantom was started and i thought yes i could do one as i havent built one since i reckon 1992 ish.Ive amassed a little stash of Phantoms well 18 to be precise.9 of them are Fujimi ones from 1987 and 7 are the RAF FGR2 types as i planned on doing a few different air defence squadrons.Well some clever pillock won a couple of the "Firebirds" boxing and bought 5 from Kingkit for 25 each with postage.Why didnt i check say Scalemates as these boxings dont have any Sidewinder missiles or launcher rails to boot!!!.Id bought 2 of the Navy FG1s and they have the rails and crude missiles.The winders not too much of a problem as i could improve them with some scratchy work or resin ones from aftermarket.So you could say im pretty pd off with my oversight.The better boxings i read are the kits with the Fgr2s banking from the camera.Not happy at all for being such a fool.
Richard.

These are the bits missing from Fujimi FGR2 kits.Think casting duplicates is only way to get 4 for each jet neatly. 20250627_101019.jpg
