Finished this yesterday evening.

Had some issues with the intake joins, and the halfords primer going grainy when paint was applied on top, but its done now.

Thank you everyone.

I did use a bit of artistic license by using hi-vis markibfs, but a couple of Internet quotes did say some jets had them applied after a repaint into the 3 greys scheme. All ghe photos i could find still had low-vis.

They used to get pretty grubby looking at photos, so leaned towards that when doing the weathering.

Excellent model! The paintwork is very well done, personal I like the subtle weathering on the landing gear ;)

Great build!

Great Phantom, it looks very good indeed. Nicely weathered, as you say the greys really showed the dirt and grime.
