RAF Phantom with Sharks Teeth

Advice taken and now waiting for the postie to arrive 😀

I am wondering about dipping into my pay packet and purchasing this Fujimi kit of an RAF Phantom with Sharks Teeth.

Those Fujimi Phantom kits are the best of the type in that scale (and most in other scales), even more surprising given their age – you can’t go wrong purchasing it!

The Airtime Publishing book Phantom Spirit in the Skies has a full page colour spread of the airframe you are asking about in the colours you mention.

XV495. A simple search on the web hould provide more info in its history.

re;

its a fantastic museum what a shame somebody with a huge wad of cash couldnt hire them a c type hangar on the a/f. The staff even gave me a preview of the new hangar before it was ready for the public. Cant speak highly enough of them.

Hence I have a cabinet full of models on loan to the collection.

I thought it was 56 Sqn and in grey.
I seem to remember seeing it at Greenham Common in about 1983.
Probably have a photograph of it somewhere.

Already come across that one when it was a flyer. Not sure if it was the same airframe or not. It wore teeth when it was grey. Thanks for the link. A reminder I really need to go someday.
