Hot news for modellers!

Airfix have just announced that they will be producing a 1/72 Spey powered Phantom in 2017. Best information to hand suggests it will be the FG 1 and due out around October '17. Just in time for Christmas!

Hopefully they will also release it as the FGR 2 later, as there is a much wider selection of colours and units available with that version. In any event, the new Airfix kits are superb, so the old girl may finally be give plastic justice.

I know Fujimi did both versions 20 or so years ago. Sadly these kits are very rare and you need a second mortgage to buy them....

Start counting down Chaps!!
