Nothing to add about the Airfix Phantom that hasn't already been said but I'm enjoying my journey through these builds.

Awesome job and excellent result, Alistair!
I personally (and I am not the only one) find the British Phantom the most aesthetically appealing of all Phantoms and your build pays full justice to it.
Have a happy, prosperous 2025!
Thanks so much Spiros
All the best to you and yours for the New Year.
Cheers,
Alistair
