  Hello everyone from Portugal, this is my first ever submission to ARC,after observing many wonderful models posted here everyday.This new Phantom from Academy is a real gem,excellent fit and wonderful detail.

  To add extra detail I used the MK.1 Designs set that includes PE fret,resin wheels and canopy masks.Eduard masks weren´t yet available at the time, so I used the ones from the MK.1 set,but they´re not very good.I also used the Eduard set of Martin Baker seats for the Hasegawa kit,with a little work they fit very well in the Academy kit.

  The decals are great and conform very well to the kit,but extra setting solution is needed to get the larger decals in place if placed wrong,because they stick almost immediately and are a pain to adjust if you don´t use enough setting solution.For the paint job I used Gunze paints and some Alclad shades for the exhaust section.Oils and pastels we´re used to weather the model.I can say this is my best model since returning to modelling three years ago.Hope you like it.
