Hi All, For my next project I am building the 1/48 Hasegawa Royal Navy Phantom F-4K, I am going to make it the 001 serial XT858. In 1969 this Aircraft held the world record between New York and London when it took 4 Hrs 46 Min. I photographed it at the then RNAS Lossiemouth that year, see photos attached. As you may know in 1974 the SR-71 Blackbird beat the record by doing it in an unbelievable 1 Hr 54 Min 56.4 sec.
It will be a slow build as the BOSS is dropping heavy hints about some DIY, so better take some action before the thumb screws come out. As the Cockpit is such a prominent feature on the Aircraft I have invested in an Aires Cockpit Resin Set, never used them before, but they seem to have a good reputation and they certainly are very detailed, see photo attached. Thanks Derek
