  1. Just also check the kits RWR fairing. UK ones are physically different to other markets.
  2. I built a 1/35 & 1/72 kit back in the day. You can easily decal them as there was hardly anything on the real ones.
  3. when you have a few minutes.
  4. I'm following this one. For me it's the memory of Win Percy giving Andy Rouse a run for his money in 1988(?) at Donington, and the thoughts of oooooooooo something new is on the scene. Keep going please
  5. I had a look in my "Tornado operational history" book and found this: " each aircraft carried the missiles [ALARM] on the stub pylons above the underwing fuel tanks". Separately is states that the AIM9L were carried on the inner plyon. Hope this helps.
  6. I went to the Allington corner on Thursday to walk the dogs. 2 Tutors and I could hear ETPS rotary but saw nothing. After a couple of hours I left. Definitely a shadow of its former self.
  7. I recall the Boscombe Down ones in the mid eighties were grey but the forward face of the headboard was black. Once they changed to the slimeline jobbies then they were as the photo above.
  8. We watched series 1 & 2 and weren't even aware 3 & 4 were out!. Thanks for posting.
  9. I went in 2013 after going to the F1 and found it overbearing and so unorganised; took us 3 hours to get out to start the drive home. I'd heard about this and took the plunge and went, which was only a few weeks after the F1. What a difference and for less cash was such a different event. I remember going through the garages respectfully and it felt like I shouldn't be there, but it was fine. I loved the tin tops of BTCC and DTM from the 80's & 90's. Our Son sat in a ex-rouse RS500 and he was unfazed about it. The track action was great, we were lucky with the weather and the old buses. A phenomenal day out. ps - any RS500 photos?.
  10. I decided the same a few years ago (can't remember) but I wanted to see the Polish Mig-29 & the SU-27s. Ticked that box but that's me done. I'm happy to see others photos where no one stands up infront of me and I can zoom in. I feel I made the better choice for me. Steve.
  11. I'm just doing research on 1/32 RAF FJ Aircrew. Having previously used PJ Production offerings there now just seems nothing out there. Has anybody got any suggestion for sitting RAF figures. Shame I've got a good idea but may now have to resort to plan B with no aircrew. Steve.
  12. Enamels or acrylic?
  13. From the "Falklands the Air War" book. 820's 9 x HAS.5's were XZ920 N/010, ZA127 N/011, ZA126 N/012, ZA134 N/013, ZA128 N/014, ZA135 N/015, XA574 N/016, XZ921 N/017 & XZ918 N/20. They were then joined by 2 x 716 Sqn aircraft - XZ573 C/593 & XZ578 CU/589. Hope this helps. Steve.
  14. What a great idea
  15. Wasn't someone taking over?. Perhaps the same kits available but under a different name......
  16. Cool mate, I know you been waiting for ages on this one. Doing another?.
  17. See some will say What if, I'd say WTF
  18. I think you're spot on and likely to be Boscombe Down from the scenery in the back ground. You'll notice that another spot just behind the aircraft (visible past the front canopy) so there are options in which direction to point the aircraft. Probably depending on the wind direction at the time of tie down.
  19. Absolutely brilliant. What a model/car & era all roll3d into one. I don't build cars, but appreciate others with the skill. Thanks for sharing.
  20. I remember us discussing this years ago, but don't recall seeing pictures. 1/24 is a nice size for this kit and not massive as the scale makes you think.
  21. Up to your usual standard mate. I recall your first kits yonks ago. It does look good
  22. If you search my 1/32 F-4J build that's the parachute from those guys.
  23. A flawless build mate. Just lovely (the car!).
  24. I managed to find a set in Eastern Europe for not alone of cash, but like you say they are now super rare. Like you I'm intending to do a couple for my Hawks but that doesn't help you now.mill keep my eyes open.
  25. I've had a quick Google but I'd go black underneath and green on the upper surfaces.
