Finished this yesterday evening.

Had some issues with the intake joins, and the halfords primer going grainy when paint was applied on top, but its done now.

Very nice weathering and it's great to see the British version

 

[Guest]

Thank you everyone.

I did use a bit of artistic license by using hi-vis markibfs, but a couple of Internet quotes did say some jets had them applied after a repaint into the 3 greys scheme. All ghe photos i could find still had low-vis.

They used to get pretty grubby looking at photos, so leaned towards that when doing the weathering.

Excellent model! The paintwork is very well done, personal I like the subtle weathering on the landing gear

Great build!

Great Phantom, it looks very good indeed. Nicely weathered, as you say the greys really showed the dirt and grime.
