McDonnell Douglas FGR2 Phantom
1) XV466 D, No1435 FLT, RAF Mount Pleasant November 1991
2) FGR.2 XV469 H 2 Squadron June 1976
3) FGR.2 Phantom XV408 92 Squadron RAF Germany
As the Royal Air Force were looking to update their strike and close air support capabilities in the 1950s and 60s, they were initially expecting indigenous British designs to fulfil both of these roles, but spiralling development costs and government intervention saw them forced to look overseas for their new aircraft. As one of the world’s most successful multi-role jet aircraft, the McDonnell Douglas Phantom was selected for both the Royal Navy and the RAF and even though it was procured at a time of great uncertainty for the British aviation industry, it proved to be both a capable and popular aircraft in UK service.

Where possible, Airfix have been using Lidar to ‘map’ new subjects since 2015, this gives much improved accuracy to their measurements, textures and the general feel of the subject. The Lidar data is then fed into a CAD program for Airfix to begin creating the model. The video shows how it’s all done.
This Airfix Plastic Model Kit requires paints and glues to complete, we recommend the following:
For the perfect finish to your model why not try one of the range of weathering products from Mig Productions, AK Interactive, Vallejo, Tamiya or Humbrol
