Aftermarket
Eduard Blu-27 Napalm cans HGW cloth belts
Always wanted to add a Phantom to the completed list and ZM makes one heck of a kit with a ease of assembly on par with Tamiya the only gripe I have is no belts offered at all so went with HGW cloth belts that I would have used anyway even if ZM offered decal or PE belts.

We are modelers - the same in spirit, in hunger to insanely buy newly released kits, hustlers in hiding our stash from our better halves and experts in using garbage as replacements for after-market parts.

If it wasn’t for that upper wing inverted star, this would be a flawless shot! Nevertheless, Betty Lou is still a true beauty!
