shan Posted April 4, 2012 Author Share Posted April 4, 2012 That looks really good, how did you get on with the Paragon flaps set? Or was it the flightpath stuff?Thanks, Henry Greetings Henry, the set i used was the paragon set, but i've read that the flighpath stuff was really good. The paragon set was resin and flighpath has lots of PE. I hope to see your Tornado someday too.... best wishes shan Thanks everyone for the kind words. I hope to start up on a new build and share them in future. best wishes shan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Saudi Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 (edited) Great build. Excellent paint job. Only one concern, You have the spoilers in lift dump! The spoilers would be failed closed with both Hyd systems powered off? The fail safe valve would close them with CSAS off. good job, Jim Edited April 5, 2012 by Jim Saudi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shan Posted April 9, 2012 Author Share Posted April 9, 2012 That looks really good, how did you get on with the Paragon flaps set? Or was it the flightpath stuff?Thanks, Henry Greetings Henry they were paragon flaps and slats. it started out a bit thick, but i sanded it down a little. I think the flighpath set would have been more accurate as they are PE. I hope to see a tornado from you perhaps soon.... best regards shan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
