As years went by,
lingering issues concerning accuracy and fit of parts continued to plague
Hasegawa's 1/48 Phantom series. Nonetheless, thanks to the diversity of
configurations and camouflage schemes, I hanged on with this theme.

The fairly recent
issue of the Hellenic AF reconnaissance version demonstrates my point. If
you get the appetite to build this model, please note that the large decals are
thick and difficult to place and the camouflage drawings in the instruction
sheet are not accurate. This is in addition to the traditional fit issues
where the RF version is also notorious, especially at the revised nose section.
Good luck!
