About product

Masks for the British Phantom FG.1 and FGR.2 in 1:72

A masking set for a model of the British versions of McDonnell's two-seat fighter in 1:72. The name gives it as single-sided. You are buying an aid for painting, not a plastic kit.

The Phantom in British colors

Britain had its Phantoms rebuilt for Rolls-Royce Spey engines, which called for a wider rear fuselage and bulkier air intakes. The naval FG.1 flew from the deck of a carrier and had an extendable nose gear leg, which raised the nose before a catapult launch; the FGR.2 served with the Royal Air Force for attacks on ground targets, for reconnaissance and for air defense. Both types carry an unmistakable silhouette with upturned wingtips and a downward-angled tailplane. British Phantoms served from the end of the 1960s and the last of them retired at the beginning of the 1990s.

What works in a small scale

In 1:72 the canopy frames are as thin as a hair, so covering them by hand tends to be a lottery. Offer the stencil up with dry tweezers and press it home with a soft stick. Apply the paint in two passes and let it set between them, so that no ridge is left at the edge when it is lifted. On a two-seat cockpit there are twice as many frames, so the saving in time shows more here than on single-seat machines.

Who the set is for

  • builders of Cold War jet hardware
  • fans of British naval and tactical aviation
  • modelers for whom the small scale complicates masking

Neither plastic parts nor paints belong with the set; it deals only with the spraying phase.

FAQ

The FG.1 served with the Fleet Air Arm and had an extendable nose gear leg for a catapult launch; the FGR.2 flew with the Royal Air Force on attack and reconnaissance tasks.

Because of the Rolls-Royce Spey engines, which are bulkier than the original American ones. That called for changes to the rear end and the air intakes.

It is precisely in the small scales that covering by hand is hardest to manage, because the frames are very narrow and a knife is hard to guide.
