Very nice!

Looks fantastic! Great color work!!

Fantastic MudHen! Great model! :)

Wow!! You managed to include the differrnt eagle designs on the flag!! Mostly this feature is omitted...the earlier is the mire rounded one, the later and current one is more angled and slimmer Thanks a lot

How is it possible that private companies can buy and IMPORT live war material anyways??? Shouldn't it all be de-militarized before???

If the HobbyBoss one would look like the real one it would be an option... but it hardly does....

There is a boxing that includes lots of (not so great and modern) bombs from Revell and Revell Monogram... https://www.scalemates.com/kits/revell-04891-f-15e-strike-eagle--467753 http://www.ipms-deutschland.business.t-online.de/FirstLook/Revell/Rev_F-15E_Strike_Eagle_48/Rev_F-15E_Strike_Eagle.html https://www.scalemates.com/kits/pro-modeler-5965-f-15e-strike-eagle--145660

Very nice and realistic progress!

And the Gripen was dropped, because they could not demo the newest fancy in-production hardware... strange times... The F-16s early crash rate was high.... by the way...

Hi, it is basically down to the canopy and fin for those you have (apart form the two seater obviously) the F-13, PF have front opening/ hinged single part canopies (no separate frame for a "front" canopy ) the PFM, R onward (R, M(F, S) and bis) have a 2-part side hinged canopy) (the F-13 and) PF(S) have a smaller chord fin, PFM onward it is the broader fin. to distinguish the later variants it is down to spine, cannons and wing pylons.... - strange looking, curvy spine that tapers heavily around its center than your are looking at a PFM, single wing pylon very simplified.... but works for visual ID most of the time.... another nice and rel. big and clear photo of one: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EOGfMmwW4AAiXnS?format=jpg&name=large https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EOGfMnNXkAAXS3B?format=jpg&name=large

Very nice model! Great work snd probably in the rarest seen scheme

Hi, A really good looking Tornado! you did a fantastic job of the wings! do not care about the colors, those jets weather rather heavily... I would not have noticed! the only flaw I can spot are the tanks.... you managed to mount the fins on top instead of bottom.... when you are at it, also change the fins angle relative to each other, they are not 90°, but rather ~130°- 140°... really cool model! cheers, Werner

Great project! I would go by photos only... and take care which variant you build! You last phitos also seems a bit strange in lighting...I would assue it is the same colors as the second to last...but it is a 2nd gen. PFS! Do you hapoen to gave the Arab MiGs series of books? A lot is in there, but remember, Egypt was constantly at war with Israel until the mud 70ies. With a lot if attrition and replacement airframes. Painting them in Nile ( 3 tone upper camo) was done locally...

Czech republic, Hungary and also Tailand snd South Africa may beg to differ. The bid to Austria failed...because politic prefered/ were convinced to prefere the Eurofighter...

you know that there is a state of the art resin model out there of the HIP, no? if you really are in a hurry building one...

Thanks, I think you can leave them on! https://i.pinimg.com/originals/f8/0f/6f/f80f6f45ecb122c194defe3e05224f2c.png

looking fantastic! I like this scheme and your rendition of it a lot! any reason for the training missile load out? I think I have never seen so many blue banded missiles on an RAF jet..... you say you only put the wings in after, does that mean they are movable as well? or did you glue the pylons? dihedral? you mean they should drop even more? I think they are quite ok on the ground as you have them, especially with large 2250 liter Hindenburger tanks installed! great modelling! Werner

Wow, what a great amount of finished Buccs in the gallery! Really impressive! Congrats to all finishers! Mine will still need the one ir other week though, but I am confident! Thanks for all the help and motivation!

Wow!! Fantastic result!!

Thanks, interesting paper and summary! Wonder how much else in science was lost/ delayed due to the war and German ideology...

Very nice scheme and model! I think the last ones still operstional (apart from some limited Iranian use) and heavily upgraded with Mica missiles and a new radar.

Very nice build! Congrats!

Third world? Maybe third in likelyhood of order.. How do Gripen and Hornet compare in range? The C/D might fall a bit short on payload. The E/F might do just right here...

Thing is, the one who pays usually decides and sets the rules... problem is polititians decide, people pay what for the polititian seems best...

I do hope it is not a billion a piece though... I assume Taiwan needs to pay for more then just naked planes...
