Hey look, a phantom by phantom. Built a few of these now......Like 125.
This one is for the "Not from your nation group build". Turkey t'aint  Canada so this fits in the group build.

The add ons are Verlindan cockpit and gun barrels. Those gun barrels were a REAL bugger to build. Near lost my mind dropping the 6 hole "o-ring" around 50 times. Times 4. Everything else was simple enough and I saved the radar for a future build. The Two Bobs decals were the most important part. Hard to do this without the decals. Very nice. I made a small mistake  which of course was not noticed till the gloss sealer was dry. Oh- well. I don't take my stuff to shows anyway. The other very nice add on is intake covers from Two Mikes resin. Just plug them in. No glue, no trimming. So if I ever drop this model I can just take out the plugs and put them in another phantom.

Enjoy the photos.
