  1. Nice scheme and lovely presentation.👍
  2. Eduard are soon releasing their ejection seats that were in the Desert Babe release. They are great seats!
  3. I would go for the Revel kit, I've built a few and although you need to put the work in at certain places it's the best out there. I've also built a few of the Italeri kits and the Hobby Boss one. Make sure you get the GR4 boxing of the Revel kit and then select/delete the parts required for the GR1. The Kits World decals look not bad, I've never used them. Looking at the first sheet on your links there appears to be only one 'N' tail code for Nikki and the one that is there looks to be the wrong colour as it should be black. As for stores Eduard do a decent range with Alarm, JP233 and Paveway II available. They also do the Boz and Skyshadow pods but the kit ones are not bad. Hope this helps, Muzz.
  4. Pretty sure there is a paint mask in the box too, think it's a pretty decent price.
  5. Here's a link to the refueling pod, can't help with the serials I'm afraid. https://www.hannants.co.uk/product/FHP48119?result-token=hWiJs
  6. The Harrier fleet commenced trials with Sniper pods around 2007. Pretty sure it was UOR so trials would have been a matter of months before it went operational. In fact the trials might have taken place on Herrick missions.
  7. You're going to need 9 kits then, text at bottom of the page says there's 3 more marking options!!
  8. Noticed earlier that Hannants had 6 sets (has 5 now!😁) of the Check Six Buccaneer decal set which includes the elusive 237 OCU markings.
  9. There is a small company with a FB page called Tornado Scale Model Parts, the guy has done a conversion set on request from someone for the 1/72 Airfix Bucc, I'm sure if you ask nicely and agree a price he'll scale it up....... https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid02y7R8RfQX5e9xugCjpEei1zHhrQWE37YjNBYRgJmy8pW4kJCRgAMcs1qFrqqhuWUql&id=100078437155198
  10. I've used Kits World 3d cockpit decals for a 1/48 Tornado and bought their stuff for at least one other kit. In IMHO they are my least favorite company for this kind of AM but they are generally the cheaper option. If you go down this route remember they offer 'powered up' and 'powered down' cockpits instruments so careful what you choose depending if you planning on doing the model in flight or with crew etc. For my 1/32 Tornado build, I've used Eduards 3d cockpit decals which has been quite a good compromise between price and quality. I think the grey colour they've used is probably a bit light but might not look too bad when it's all enclosed in the cockpit. The set has been straight forward to fit other than scraping off all the lovely plastic instrument detail. Just wish my painting skills were good enough to do it justice. Red Fox Studio also do a set in 1/32 but I've never used their products. The colours look a bit darker and I've heard the parts themselves are less like decals and more like very fine pre painted resin parts.
  11. My kit arrived today which I'm very impressed with as only ordered it on Tuesday! I noticed the coins are actually numbered 1 - 500! Nice touch.
  12. I'm sure the pre order with Hannants was in the region of £66, I just assumed Airfix pre orders were the same.
  13. Might be a few disappointed/annoyed folks if there not. I don't think they will be, was the pre order not slightly cheaper?
  14. Thanks for the responses. Yeh, I'd agree it's a bit of a waste of a limited run kit I was already thinking about that. I'll probably just get hold of a Zvezda P kit. Thanks
