Xtradecal 1:72 Phantom FG.1/FGR.2 (1:72)

A set of wet decals from the British maker Xtradecal with the markings of the British versions of the McDonnell Douglas Phantom II fighter, specifically the FG.1 and FGR.2 variants, in 1:72 scale. The sheet brings the markings of several Royal Air Force and Fleet Air Arm squadrons and makes it possible to build the machines in their operational color schemes.

The real subject

The McDonnell Douglas Phantom II was an American two-seat supersonic multirole fighter which, in the FG.1 and FGR.2 variants, served for many years with the Royal Air Force and the Royal Navy. The British Phantoms were powered by Rolls-Royce Spey engines and carried out fighter defense, attack and reconnaissance duties.

Use and tips

• Apply them onto gloss, dry varnish, so that the decals do not silver.
• For adhesion to the panel lines and the detail, use a decal softener.
• Fix them with matte or semi-gloss clear varnish according to the type of camouflage.

Who the set is for

• Modelers of British Cold War fighters.
• Anyone interested in the varied squadron markings of the Phantom FG.1 and FGR.2.
• Collectors of Royal Air Force and Fleet Air Arm aircraft in 1:72 scale.

This is a standalone decal set. The model, paints and glue are not included in the package.
