scvrobeson Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 That is a stunning Phantom. Definitely one to be proud of, and one that will grab attention wherever you go. The sea camo is great already, but adding the yellow just took it to a brand new level! Congrats on a wonderful build Matt Zola25 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
