Awesome Toom
Despite being a reissue of a Hasegawa kit, the Revell FGR2 is a decent kit with superb decals - the original Japanese kit was a bit of a let down in this respect. At just a few pounds more than the Airfix 72nd scale model, this is excellent value. The only minus points are the lack of intakes and exhausts if any length and a bizarre omission of Sidewinder missiles for the inner wing pylons. The SUU23/A gun may look a little stubby but photos confirm RAF phantoms carried this particular variety. Despite there being a few spares in other sprues, the more common pattern isn't among them, although parts for an FG1 are if you want to go for after market decals.
Fit and panels are excellent in the main for a kit tooled about 25 years ago (I think).
I'm going to town on this one with Aires exhausts (go for the latest release 4770 as the fit is better), Alleycat intakes and Eduard sidewinder L/M, along with Aires wheels, the ones in the kit are appropriate for earlier US aircraft.
Now I've looked at pictures on t'internet I'm really tempted by another to do the ground attack grey/green scheme from the 70s.
Enjoy.
