Soeren R.Great work Martien.
Was just wondering, because this album is attched to the Su-11 project 😛

Martien Lourens Автор@Patrick Hagelstein. I think it's a somewhat complicated kit. A very different structure than the already known Phantoms.
One problem was the front part of the cockpit.
My favorite Phantom is the Revell Phantom 04875 or the 04615. Or the Fujimi.

Patrick HagelsteinOh yes, those are great! Apart from the shallow canopies that is... But otherwise, brilliant kits! I have this Airfix one in the stash but haven't had time to look at the sprues in great detail.

Martien Lourens АвторThanks mates for the comments. @Christian Lehmann. it has a somewhat unconventional construction. This may be due to the 3 different options that you can build. Flying, Ready for catapulting, and non-active. You have also the option to install the radar in the nose . But I can tell you that everything fits perfectly. And I did not have to use putty.
Minus point is the armament. The wings of the sparrows are somewhat thick. These I have replaced with self-made fins
And I replaced the ejection seats for a set of Aires. Although the original seats does not look bad.
