Xtradecal has released a new series of decals suitable for the Hasegawa 1/48 scale Phantom FG.1 and FGR.2 kits.

Tonight we are taking a look at Part Two. Six RAF Phantoms are covered.

 

Two schemes are included - the grey scheme and Dark Green and Dark Sea Grey upper surfaces with Light Aircraft Grey below.

 

 

Details are as follows:

  • FG.1 XV571/A 43 Sqn RAF Leuchars Scotland UK 1989;

  • FGR.2 XV403/403 6 Sqn deployed to RAF Luqa Malta 1969;

  • FGR.2 XV422/J 'Jaguar Killer’ 19 Squadron RAF Decimomannu Sardinia 1989;

  • FGR.2 XV401/B 228 OCU 64 Sqn RAF Wattisham UK 1988.

Instructions for the decal sheet are in full colour across one folded double-sided A4 and one double-sided A5 sheets.

Both side views plus upper and lower views are provided for all six aircraft.

 

 

A selection of national markings is included.

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

The decals are beautifully printed and feature thin carrier film.

 

 

A smaller second sheet provides under wing serial numbers in black.

 

 

This release will be very welcome for anyone building the old but still very respectable Phantom FG.1 or FGR.2 kits.
