Xtradecal has released another new 1/72 scale decal set with nine options for the brand new Airfix Phantom FG.1 and forthcoming FGR.2 kits.

 

 

Xtradecal has found nine different options with a good variation of unit markings.

Three of the aircraft are finished in Dark Green and Dark Sea Grey, five in Camouflage Grey and Light Aircraft Grey, and one in overall Gloss Black.

 

 

Two FG.1 and seven FGR.2s are depicted on the sheet. Details are as follows

This release offers a great variety of camouflage and markings for anyone planning to build the brand new Airfix 1/72 scale Phantom FG.1 and forthcoming FGR.2 kits.

Highly Recommended.
