Bit of major surgery there Ian.

Been watching this come together and it looks great. I am hugely impressed with the rescribe, you'll have to do a tutorial.

Ian really liking the metal finish on the tail and the preshade ,looking forward to seeing some paint go down on this!

Got the tail fins out to get them ready and this is what i found View attachment 61954 View attachment 61955 I don't think that this is on the real Phantoms so a little work is needed to put them right
