As the
Phantom fleet matured, there were certain design deficiencies that
were discovered. The wings of the Phantoms built for carrier
service and those either built or modified with slats were
developing cracks in the main wing spar. McDonnell-Douglas
developed a series of reinforcing plates which were attached to the
exterior of the aircraft. The main item on this sheet of
self-adhesive vinyl is the wing spar reinforcing plate. Since there
was extra room on the sheet of vinyl, Nautilus decided to supply
some of the other plates often found on the Phantom. Some of these
are modeled onto the kit, albeit at about 500% scale thickness.
These extra plates allow the modeler to correct that error to
present a more accurate model.
