Very nice indeed, looks superb. Eng

Very nice indeed, great to see one pop up here. My own own effort is languishing partially built in the loft Eng

Beautifully painted and weathered as always, stunning work. Eng

That is rather sublime, beautiful work. Eng

Totally love this! Dudes horse is gonna bolt as soon as that sonic boom hits them. Anytime Baby! Eng

Outstanding, what a fantastic build, some tremendous scratch building. Eng

Wow, that's really nice work, a great diorama. Is the Landrover from a kit? Eng

Looks fantastic, and nice to see more unusual scheme, like those big red bort numbers. Eng

Very nice work. Have to say I think this is quite a good looking helicopter, there was an Italian one through Glasgow during Joint Warrior Excercise in October, looked very smart. Eng

Absolutely stunning work, could easily pass for a bigger scale. Quick fancy having a go at the Academy one I have in the stash now! Eng

That's beautiful, all the right shapes seem to be there. Might have to look into one of these as opposed to the rather poor Minicraft kit languishing in my loft. Did it come with the RB211's or are these aftermarket? Again a lovely piece of modelling. Eng

If Carlsberg did airfield vantage points! Miss the days of peeking over the fence at Leuchars Eng

Go Revell, without a doubt the better option. Only other thing to do to it is shorten the nose gear oleo slightly, I personally feel it's slightly too long and as such your Tornado will sit a bit too nose high. Some of the later production Revell kits I have in my stash suffer from very poorly moulded transparencies and I haven't yet decided how I'll tackle these for the cockpit, probably have a go at vac-forming. You may be lucky and pick up a kit that doesn't suffer this problem I've built 2 so far, have another 2 in work....... and have at least another 8 in the stash! Almost more than the RAF Eng

Awesome bit of conversion work Eng

Looking forward to seeing this one! I saw that dirty inverted pic in one of the aviation mags and was so captivated by it to took a pic of it on my phone from the mag with a view to building a dirty Hog like this at some point. They are great looking machines, the one in the photo has certainly been doing some amount of tank-plinking. Bring on the progress pics Eng

Quick off the mark, looks nice OoB. G

Another fantastic build, missed this one earlier Great work. G

Stunning, Jag's still look awesome, you've done a cracking job of this. G

Beautiful bit of work mate, love the camo top surfaces, looks great on the Hawk's. G

You've made a beautiful job of that, and in my opinion one of the nicest F.3 schemes there was. An F.3 with black fin/spine just seems to work. The Hobby Boss kit had a lot going for it and I reckon if they had just gotten the intake shape right and slightly flattened the canopy, any of the other niggles would have been passable under a good build and paint job like yours. I've received my Revell F.3 and it does look good, a lot of parts carry over from the GR/IDS but the necessary changes seem to have been made. Resisting the temptation to start it until I clear some in-work projects off the bench. Excellent work on your F.3, looking forward to seeing you produce a Revell one Eng

Gorgeous model and beautifully displayed, very nice indeed. Eng

Your decals are fantastic compared to mine Shaun! I'll get a pic of mine up tomorrow

Anyone got one of these with a dodgy set of decals? The red on my set is very poor, almost like the printer was running out of ink - roundels not filled right up to the blue, the red in the 23 Sqn flashes again not fully complete, and the red stencilling and fuel tank markings incomplete. For me it's nothing I don't have additional decals I can use as replacements, but just wondered if this is just a one off, or is there a bad batch of decals. Eng

I can 100% confirm that the Tornado F.3 can and was parked up with the wings fully swept provided the Hindenburg tanks weren't fitted. I believe due to the additional length of the fwd fuselage the CoG wasn't an issue with this variant. Eng

This thread just keeps giving, epic workmanship, still loving this. Mod's can we please have this thread pinned? It deserves to be a 'go to' guide for Tomcat modellers, weathering, casting, scratch-building... it's all in here. Rgds, Eng
