Hi all. I'm actually working on a Eduard 72 scale Tornado GR1 and I chose to depict a desert storm one : Lusciuos Lizzie. Except some photo of the nose art I don't find any pictures of the whole aircraft. I found a color profile in the book RAF TORNADO UNITS OF GULF WAR 1 and I noticed that the Skyshadow ECM pod remained in its original green color. Can I trust this profile? Is the BOZ 107 pod also in green on this particular aircraft? If anyone have some pictures of Luscious Lizzie with its war load I'm very interesting in. Thanks for your help.

Thanks all for your comments. Just a simply paint job with Uschi metal paint mask, pastel pencils and oil painting juice.

I present to you this 112 RAF squadron P-51C Mustang made from the box dedicated to the Mustang MK III (ref 70039). This is my first assembly of a model of this brand and I must tell you that I was particularly impressed by the general quality of this model. The surface and cockpit details in particular are beautiful and the assemblies very precise. As a result, the putty will remain most of the time in its box. Only the lower part of the fuselage with its characteristic air intake will require a little adjustment but nothing very complicated. It’s for me clearly one of the best kit WW2 aircraft kit in 72 scale and I warmly recommend it to you, especially because it allows a wide choice of versions and paint schemes each more attractive than the other. Besides, I intend to mount another one.

Thank you very much for your kind comments ☺️ For the nose landing gear I used a mix of Fujimi and Hobbyboss parts and the wheels are from Reskit. The Hobbyboss nose leg is nice but too thin according to me.

Hello everybody. I present to you these two 72 scale A-7 based on the Fujimi kit. Not the most recent but according to me the most accurate at this scale. There is a little job to correct some points and to improve others especially for specificities of each version. I used Aires cockpit, Reskit wheels, Eduard brassin armaments, some parts of the Hobbyboss kit and the rest is personnal work. First a US NAVY A-7E from VA 46 during Desert Storm in 1991 and then an HAF A-7H which is a specific greek version (an A-7D upgraded with some A-7E equipments).

Hello guys, thank you very much for all your comments😳 I worked with Armycast decals sheet color guide, Gunze H 309 Green, H 310 earth but I replaced the H 73 grey by a mix of H 42 and H 308 to obtain the particular blue tone of this camouflage (approximately 30% H42 and 70% H308). H-309 and H-310 were then reworked with yellow and other green and sand colors from Gunze. The Book "Serie Fuerza Aera #16 F-86F-30 NA SABRE" is a precious help (especially the cover photo).

Hello everybody. My latest model, a Fujimi F-86 Sabre in Argentinian colors. A good kit, a little personal job, and Armycast decal sheet.

An old but good model with a very nice detailling job. Congratulations!

A very nice job Mathias as usual with your very nice models , congratulations

It's exactly this Omani JAGUAR that I want to achieve , effectively the red edge to the open canopy is very attractive.

I'll probably use the Revell/Italeri 72 scale kit but I've also the Hasegawa one in stock. So I think I'll install a Gr3 cockpit from Pavla. I assume that after 1997 the Omani Jaguar were always in the two colors scheme (I'm not a great fan of the new three colors scheme). Thanks for your help.

Hi everybody. I'm actually preparing a future model of an Omani Jaguar and I've a question about the cockpit. Is this one a specific type for international jaguar or is it the same than Gr1(or maybe Gr3 if modernization) type?. I specify that my model will represent a Jaguar with the first type of camouflage in two color of brown. Thanks for your help.
