DAG058

Another cracker! What's next?

Phantastic work!

Amazing work!

Well this is the first time I have had a message from someone who has actually flown the airframe that I have modelled! I am glad you like the build, there can't be much of a greater accolade than that. You are right, it is ZD714. To be honest I never researched the serial and squadron, I just went with the kit decals. Very interesting though and thanks for pointing it out. This has got me thinking, would aircraft generally stay in the same Squadron or would they move around over the years? Thank you you for the info on the wing sweep angle. I wasn't exactly sure what position they would be in so I just went in the middle. I've put them out to 25 in the display cabinet now, and I think it looks a lot meaner!

Very nice!

An excellent build!

Thank you all again. 2035 seems a very long time away. Are they planning a regeneration or update?

Thank you all for the comments and likes! I used Hataka laquers. They do a modern RAF set which has barley grey in it. They paint very well with an airbrush. I used Tamiya polishing compounds. They come on 3 grades with 3 desperate cloths for rubbing them in. The canopy was pretty good straight out the box, however the compounds just gave it that little bit extra.

This is the first off the mark for me in 2019. Its the Revell 1/48 Tornado Gr.4 in 617 Sqn colours. Its my tribute to the Tonka retiring from RAF Service. This kit is pretty good, there is enough detail out the box to make a decent model. There were one or two fit issues but I managed to wrestle it into shape. I used colour PE to lift the cockpit and seatbelts. Also a brass pitot tube. Please comment or leave any questions you many have and thanks for looking!

Amazing work with these, thank you for the tips.

Superb!

I am looking forward to seeing this one!

Amazing work

Fantastic!

Nice work!
