Xtradecal's 1/48 P-51 Mustang Collection will be available online from Squadron.com

Xtradecal has released another new 1/72 scale decal set for the brand new Airfix Phantom FG.1 kit. This time it is a single scheme - but what a scheme!

This is XT597, finished in the modified Raspberry Ripple A & AEE Boscombe Down 25th Phantom Anniversary scheme at IAT Greenham Common 1983.

The red, white and blue scheme with many additional markings must be one of the most spectacular Phantom schemes ever.

Instructions for the decal sheet are in full colour across one folded double-sided A4 and one A5 sheets. Both side plus upper and lower views are provided.

Colour notes are supplied, along with model paint callouts for Xtracolor enamels and Xtracrylix acrylics.

The decals are beautifully printed and feature thin carrier film. National markings are also provided. The white backings are welcome considering the deep, high-contrast base colours beneath.

This release offers a single spectacular scheme for the new Airfix Phantom FG.1.

Thanks to Hannants for the review sample
