41 Squadron Phantoms

Hi guys, does anyone have any photos of any of the following phantoms from 41sqn during the mid/late seventies

XV412
XV414
XV417

Making a 1/48 model for my father and he worked on these aircraft when he was in the Raf, anything would be greatly appreciated 🙂

many thanks, just what i needed, i know that towards the end of their careers they were painted that blue gray colour, but during the 70’s would they be painted in a camoflage scheme?

Sorry Nashio I’ve no photos but the other day I came across a Phantom tribute film on YouTube and guess what, it had coverage of 41Sqn. Phantoms at Coningsby in the mid 70’s. The thing that I found interesting was that it appears that the 41 Sqn. hanger is the one now used by the BBMF!!! I think that dates the footage from pre 1976.
Again sorry no photos but good luck and I hope you find this of interest.
