Description

Airfix A12015 McDonnell Douglas Phantom FG.1 1:48 Model Kit
One of the most requested British aircraft subjects finally joins the Airfix range in 1:48 scale – the mighty McDonnell Douglas Phantom FG.1.

Developed specifically for British service, the FG.1 was powered by Rolls-Royce Spey engines and featured significant changes from its American counterparts, including enlarged intakes and a redesigned rear fuselage. Originally introduced for the Royal Navy, the type famously operated from HMS Ark Royal before later serving with the RAF.

This is a completely new-tool kit, developed using new scan data, extensive photographic research and access to a preserved British Phantom. Airfix has paid particular attention to the aircraft's distinctive shapes, complex intakes, cockpit and surface detail.
