  1. Thanks to everyone who suggested decals. I've gone with the Wolfpak decals in 72 (which I should have mentioned at the top) - without perhaps putting on the Mig Killer markings.
  2. Are there any decal sheets that show any of the F15C/D aircraft at Lakenheath (prior to the F35s)? I would like to do a standard aircraft, not necessarily a painted up on - such as on the Wolfpak sheet. Has anyone got any ideas - the Caracal & Astra sheets seem to be like hens teeth?
  3. UPDATE: Back at the top of the thread, I was asking for help locating (any) drawings of the internal structure, and more hopefully the ducting system on the Hunting H126 Jet-Flap aircraft. I've asked (from memory) BAE SYSTEMS, RAF Museum, RAF Cosford, Brooklands Museum, FAST and RAE Bedford, and though very helpful, haven't been able to locate any of the Hunting Archive, within which I was hoping to find some drawings. I know that some of you wanted to see if I had found anything, but no. However, if anyone does locate any suitable drawings, I will have to rely on info on Secret Projects, the odd NASA report and my copy of Barrie Hygate's book. Thanks for listening.
  4. Thanks for the tip, Gary. I've sent them an email to see what they've got.
  5. I sure will - am running out of places to look at the mo. Thanks for reminding me, I will have to dig out my copy and have a look.
  6. Thanks for the suggestion, I'll try it.
  7. It's more a request to borrow the collective knowledge of BM to see if anyone knows who holds the archive for Hunting Aircraft. I have a (bizarre) need to research the Hunting H126, and would like to see if there are any Engineering Drawings anywhere..... I want to build a large scale model of the aircraft - perhaps with cutaways to show the ducting from the engine... It's not something that will happen quickly, but I've tried all the most likely suspects - RAF Museum, BAe, Brooklands and they hold small numbers of reports / external photos, but no structural drawings. I have even looked on Secret Projects, but despite registering I can't get to logon to look at the imagery they have. Does anyone know if the Hunting Aircraft archive is held anywhere, and if it is, how to get a look at it? - Long shot I know, but I thought that there might be someone here that might be able to help. Thanks.
  8. Those are really useful - thanks for digging them out speedy
  9. Thanks for the update - saves modifying the wrong thing..😉
  10. That's interesting news. Thanks speedy. I'd be interested in any pics you did have, simply to see how the camera pods differ from the baseline BOZ.
  11. A bit of a long shot….. I’ve seen a picture of a Tornado F3 as a trials aircraft for the Meteor missile. What I’m interested on is the type of camera pod on the wings - does anyone have any idea. Think it was about 2007 or so, and as far as I can tell the aircraft used was ZE203. Thanks.
  12. Sheet X72096 is available right now. (not that I'm on commission, btw). Hope this helps
  13. Just had a look at the sheet I've got, and there are three sections of No Step wording - white for the F2/F3, Black for the RAF Tornados and Black for the RAFG Tornados. You maybe looking at the Hook symbols in yellow (like the number '2' but with an extended baseline. There are no yellow & red feet symbols on this sheet.
  14. I've got one of the new Airfix Buccaneer S2B kits, and want to make a version from 237OCU as Honington is my nearest RAF base. I can find the decals for 237 on Xtradecal 72307 (Buccaneer S.2 XT287 237 OCU RAF Honington 1972), but can I use this kit? It doesn't matter if I can't because I will use it for another aircraft, and I'll get an S2C as the base for this instead. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks
  15. I'm considering a long-term build at the moment - a 1/32 Tornado F2/3, using the Revell GR1 as a base kit (mainly as the Italeri one is above my budget). Does anyone know of any conversion kits that would allow me to create an F3, noting that the availability of the Heritage one seems to be like finding Bigfoot wearing the proverbial hens teeth? I've seen a couple of good threads of people on here that have converted a 1/32 kit into an F3 - just wanted to do one myself.
  16. Hi, I am looking at the Copper State Models 1/32 Nieuport 23 (RFC, 32005) and am impressed enough to want to buy one. Does anyone have a copy of the instructions / list of paints mentioned in the instructions that can be passed on, so I can buy the paints as well at the same time? Fingers Crossed, and thanks for any help.
  17. I'm struggling with trying to find a reasonable red/orange enamel or acrylic colour for the IAF Surya Kiran aero team. Any thoughts were I should be looking?
  18. Thank you for all your very helpful information. There seems to be little on the internet, and it’s great that BM can fill the gaps. Hope you’ve all had good Christmas breaks.
  19. I'm trying to research Tornado F3's during Operation Deny Flight in the mid-90s, but cannot seem to find much information on units / markings. Does anyone know where I might find (any) information on this? Happy Christmas
  20. There was a Model Alliance sheet - https://www.hannants.co.uk/product/MLO-32701?result-token=ftdYi - 29 Squadron Lightning F3 XP705/L
  21. From what I've got, they look properly done and equal to anything other decal manufacturers produce. From what I can remember, the whole thing cost about £11-12 which included the postage from Russia. The person who produces them has aspirations to produce other 1/48 Tornado F3 silk-screen decal options - worth getting in touch via the website..
  22. I've just ordered these https://uprise-decal.ru/tornadoadv/novyy-tovar for my 1/48 Tonka. It took a few weeks, but they look just right - four 1435 Flt Options, but you will have to use the Revell stencils etc for the rest of the decal fit.

    Paint Racks

    I hadn't thought of either of those options. Thanks for that.

    Paint Racks

    I'm looking for a vertical paint rack that will hold a variety of paint pots - Humbrol tins, Alclad (small / large), Xtracrylix As I appreciate budget suggestions, is there a vertical paint rack that I can get that will accommodate all of these? Currently they're all in a shoebox and I need the bench-space. Thanks.
