Thanks all. Got a bit of a start on this one over the weekend. The rear, front fuselage and wings have been seperately put together. There is a trial fit of all parts in the last 2 photos. There is some filler on the underside of the wings and some will be required on the rear fuselage/engine joint. I will be removing the para pack holder from the rear fuselage, as the version I am going to build has a resin fin fitted with this already included. More soon.

Unfortunately no, unless I could count it as a what if for the Gulf War S.I.G stand.

I made a two seater for my Gulf War display and it is thought that they did fly combat missions.

The Boeing Grey has now been painted. I goggled Boeing Grey and it came up with a FS number, which was also Voodoo Grey. I then looked through Hataka paints to see if they did this in their brush range, which they did but only as a single pot. Then I had a look through the sets that I had as I was sure that I had seen this before and there strangely in a Modern Luftwaffe set was Voodoo Grey. There is only one area that somehow got under the masking and this is shown in the past picture. I will clean this up and the mask off for the sliver on the wings. c

All finished now. Thanks to James and others that helped along the way.

Thisis my entry for this GB. It is the Anigrand 1/72nd model of the 2nd prototype of the YAH-63, which was the losing competitor of the Army Attack Helicopter competition with the winnng entry being the AH-64 Apache. The buld thread is here:-

I am sure that the bays were white/offwhite. Mind you this is me trying to rememberalmost 40 yrs ago. The U/C was LAC.

Also with the Air-graphics sheet if your son would like to make different aircraft that were used in the Gulf, there are some on this sheet.

SWMBO has made me buy a few cars over the past year or so, so add my name to the list. The model may not be built in the time period, but it will give me something different to make.

I do not know about DMC decals, but there is this decal sheet:-https://air-graphics.uk/shop/ols/products/air72-006-op-desert-storm-war-in-the-gulf-coalition-air-power-over-iraq-199091-part-1

I have found a picture of XV467 Q of 92 Sqn in Green/ Grey camo with tail stripe as per a RWR arcraft, but with a Grey nose cone. Also XT897 M of 228 OCU in Air Defence Grey with tail marking. Although a FG1 there is XV579 R of 43 Sqn in Green/Grey camo but with the rudder in Black and White checks.

Unless anyone answers beforehand, I wil have a look through my books tonight.

Canada was looking at buying the F-14 Tomcat and one aircraft was painted up with tail markings, but bought the F-18 Hornet instead. How about a fully painted one, so add my name to the list.

As I have a few airliners in 1/144th please add my name to the list.
