Just had my delivery from Tiger Hobbies (well packaged by the way as always), and what a thing of beauty it is. Can't believe it's 50+ years since I picked that Airfix series 8/ Type 3 box up as an 11 year old from Woolworths. thanks again Zvezda Regards

The Jaguar GR1, The Harrier GR7 and the Tornado F3. The Tornado GR4 and Jaguar got new box art. The Tornado F3 and Harrier GR7 got a sticker on the box proclaiming 'Now Includes New Weapons'. I believe the starter set only contains the original F3 parts, although the Airfix website lists the parts count as 168! The original kits contained

Do the moulds still exist after their 're-work' to an AC-130? The last issue was an Italeri re-box.. regards

Anyone else watching on Youtube? 3 episodes so far. Lockdown does have some benefits it would appear. Regards

I say a little prayer each night hoping someone will take up Mr Adams' mantle, but we'll see. (I know there's the Air Graphics set, but no front mudguards included). Regards
