Nice work Dave
I have to agree with you there Colin.Now there's a shape. It's one of those aircraft that just looks right.
I wondered what those intakes were for. On my Fujimi, they were just square blobs of plastic, a bit of filing fixed that.air conditioning pack intakes
I was an airframe fitter in the RAF on Phantoms.A long time ago. One side of the nose had cabin air con pack and the other side was equipment air con.Cant remember which was which.I wondered what those intakes were for.

I'm reading some Phantom pilot memoirs at the moment, and the author talks about two air-conditioning units, one of which could, and often did, do some damage to the pilot's leg when it failed. I wondered if it one of these ?
That's them. It was the equipment one he mentions could fail and 'do a bit' of damage.I was an airframe fitter in the RAF on Phantoms.A long time ago. One side of the nose had cabin air con pack and the other side was equipment air con.Cant remember which was which.
You don't happen to know anyone called Jim Gaynor or Phil Kent do you?I was involved in major overhauls of these things from 1976 to 1988. A long time ago so I don't remember a lot.Im looking forward to the 1/32 Hongkong models kit coming out. I will have to find the money for one of those!.
I which kit are you building Patrick?.Most Phantom kits need a bit of filler.Ive built 2 of the Hasegawa and the Revell kit as well as this one.And they all needed. A fair bit of filling and sandingGawd I hope that I don't have to spend so much time filling & sanding my one! :eek:
You're doing a grand job of fettling this one Dave.
