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.
