    They did and it's also why Airfix T.3's are even rarer still. To the OP - the Airfix Su-27 and Heller Su-27UB are actually very good representations of the type, however raised panel lines and not easy builds. For later versions the recent Zvesda kits are very nice.

    Looking very nice indeed! I hope the nose glazing doesn't pick up any overspray inside through the open nose windows 😲

    Extremely nicely finished Tomcat, the paintwork looks suitably weather beaten 😎 And only as you asked people to see if they can spot it......the only thing that stands out to me is the symmetrical exhausts, normally would be one open and one closed but it wasn't impossible for them to be both open when shut down so not as much of a mistake as some might say.

    Thankyou everyone for the positive comments 😁 it's certainly a fiddly and finicky kit but one that rewards careful construction, good job really as there are a few more to do hiding in the stash!

    Thankyou for the heads up! Serves me right for trusting Hasegawa's colour call-outs instead of double checking photos. I'll be rectifying that first thing on Monday! (The kit is currently packed ready for the weekend - let's see how many others spot it 😉)

    Hello everyone, been a very, very, very long time since I've posted on Britmodeller - 5 or 6 years I think!? But wanted to share something that I finished up today. F-14A+ Tomcat, VF-74 'BeDevilers', 1991 Operation Desert Storm, USS Saratoga. Kit: Hasegawa Scale: 1/72 Paint: Hataka Blue Line Acrylics, Citadel Acrylics all hand brushed throughout. Finishes: MiG filters, Flory washes, Mr Hobby Flat Topcoat Extras: Quickboost ejection seats otherwise OOB Decals: Kit provided with Furball Aerodesign position lights Had the added impetus to finish as the first show in 2 years (in England) is on this weekend at Thornbury and I'm displaying on the Cold War SIG stand, hope to see some of you there!

    Looks like Revell are going to have a lean year once the Star Wars rush is over - nothing but reboxes and reissues to begin with. I really hope they've got a couple of new tools up their sleeve or they're going to go the way of Palitoy era Airfix. Regards Tom

    Thanks guys for all the support I'm pleased to report that all is finished ready for the trip to Telford tomorrow. No pictures unfortunately as I've got my hands full with packing and final prep but anyone who wants to have a closer look can find it on the Revell Modelling SIG stand in Hall 2 all weekend. I'll do a proper RFI on Monday once I (and my wallet) have recovered from the madness Regards Tom

    Dammit Steve! I was going to start my 1/32 Tornado after I finished the Hunter but now I'm going to have to pick one of these up at Telford too. Looking good though and a good guide to the fit pitfalls. Regards Tom

    Maybe the addition of hot air surface blowing (a la Buccaneer) would be a useful feature. You could also switch to a delta wing to increase surface area with increased aileron area for slow speed handling. The Lightning has plenty of power for carrier ops but you'll need to address the fuel capacity to make it a worthwhile concept. Obviously you'll need an arrestor hook, maybe a double nosewheel would help with deck landings? Food for thought anyways. Regards Tom

    My god that is absolutely incredible. The paintwork and little details are so realistic that if you photoshopped it into a museum background no-one would be able to tell it was a scale model. Regards Tom

    Cheers guys Just the wing stencils left to add now but today saw a major milestone: Yes she stands on all three legs, nice and level too. This was the moment I was dreading as it would have been too late to really do anything about it. It is really all downhill from here and I think it'll be all over by tomorrow evening . I am going to have to buy another one of these at Telford because it has been the most enjoyable build I've done for a long time. Regards Tom
