chuck540z3 Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Great start Anthony! I could never understand all the attraction of the British Spey Phantoms, since I assumed wrongly, it was just a regular Phantom with Rolls Royce engines in Britain. Big deal. All of the changes you have noted are very significant, however, so I am now a fan and I know your work will be, as the British often say, "Brilliant". I will be watching this build closely from now on. Cheers, Chuck Out2gtcha and Derek B 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chek Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 It may be worth mentioning that the recent Airfix FG1 Phantom kit was LIDAR scanned and may be worth getting as a reference. While it has been criticised for lacking some important detail, from a shapes point of view, I haven't seen anything glaringly wrong from any of the dozen or so builds I've looked at. I keep hoping they have the missing details in a separate file somewhere that they'll incorporate in a 1/48th version.

Cees Broere Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 Hi Anthony, It is your fault I have started again on my scratch conversion The past few days I have sanded the life out of the widened intakes to get a smooth surface. As II do not want FID covers, that is cheating Do you know what colour the intake ducts were finished? I have seen many pics but so far two show that the rear end is a light colour (white?) and the front looks like dark sea grey. Still have no photo Hosting site as I do not trust any if them since the photobucket **** up. Following your thread with more than normal interest.

Anthony in NZ Posted August 8, 2020 Author Share Posted August 8, 2020 Excellent news Cees! Made my day buddy! Ok intake colour. It seems from my brief research into this area is that early schemes sported a white intake trunking from the vari-ramp back edge back. Later ones I have noticed it appears to be what looks like the exterior grey extending all the way back to the engine front. I need to research this more, as intakes are next when I have finished with the airframe panel details. Greg W and Derek B 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
