  1. thats a big shame Hans - not sure what happened but maybe put it away and pick it up again with a fresh eye
  2. Most enjotable thread - seriously good builds
  3. Shes looking spot on David, well done
  4. Something you dont see every day - great idea and bloddy well executed
  5. Excellent news! Now I wonder where the Gannet AEW tools ever got to - probably didnt ever get started but we can hope!
  6. Im assuming its the a/c that belongs to their test & evaluation unit WD61 based at Manching (I think) - have a look through these Google search options https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=Luftwaffe+test+unit+WTD61+Tornado&biw=1366&bih=614&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwie1ZqGucPOAhVlAcAKHTppDIYQ_AUIBigB#tbm=isch&q=Luftwaffe+test+and+evaluation+unit+WTD61+Tornado
  7. They were always in dark green overall camouflage and were Canadian Air Force.They were based at Baden-Sollingen and fairly frequent visitors when Air Exercises were being held.I cannot say for sure that they were what you saw but they're certainly what springs to my mind.. CAF 104s adopted a green/grey camo scheme in the late 1970s so your spotting days would have pre dated that
  8. that will be the Luftwaffe test units then
  9. Vampire & Venom pair just flew over South Essex coming over the Thames from Kent heading North - what a sound!
  10. To be honest Steve youve little chance at nailing this one - back in the 60s 70s & 80s daily visits to UK bases by other Nato a/c was so normal, add to that how many bases were operational back then and its a tough call without a specific date. Mere speculation but Salisbury plain fell under a corridor for mil air types tranisitioning to South/mid Wales for a bit of flying in the" Valleys" Upper Heyford was close by as was Brize, Lyneham & Yeovilton of course so maybe not an exercise.
  11. There are images of Shiny Two Tornados on both Airliners & Airfighters.com in winter camo - Puma has received the winter treatment, completely all over White back in the late 70s when I was based at Odiham, - 33 Sqn RAF Bucaneers also received a Grey/White scheme during the 1980's - 208 Sqn 1 Sqn applied a very snazy dotted scheme to their GR5 Harriers
  12. Liking the look of this, and nice to see a one piece closed canopy option included - not sure about the RRP but would love to see them shake the market up a little with a very competetive price
  13. of course confusing my As and Bs..........the B is a T10. Kinetic are supposedly producing the entire family so its only a matter of time
  14. you will be able to build an AV-8B from this kit (T2) you will need decals only which are always available one way or another
  15. She turned out great after all that effort, well done - not a fan of the one wing up one down mind
