Pictures not working.....

Probably do intake blank for it.

Beat me to it Selwyn,I was going to reply much the same in answer to the post.It's one thing posting a phot of something to help a modeller but it's another to provide what could be restricted or sensitive data that could be of use to our enemies.

Then I suggest you contact the MOD/RAF & tell them that they are wrong to call them Paveway II/III/IV/EPW II/III then....As that is what they are called in the inventory. The are a few innacuracies in that thread you linked to,as to my source,how about being an RAF armourer with over 12 years experience working on fast jet aircraft & other types.BTW,most of the links you posted don't work.AND I know how to load a Sidewinder & what they look like,I've loaded enough of them...

They are called simply Paveway II ect,I spent a good few years on Tornado & never heard them referred to as CPU-123.As fir the RAF Tornado being cleared for the US BLU-111/116,we do not nor have used them with a US bomb component,so the bombs in the Hasagawa sets are useless if you want to model a RAF Tornado.Also GR1(A) did not carry TIALD or bombs during the Gulf War,& at the time,the was only a couple of squadrons who had jets wired to carry ALARM,initially on the wing pylons before the shoulder pylons were wired,they were 9 & 31 at my old station,Bruggen. The only US weapons that were loaded to the Tornado (but never flew with) was US CBU's towards the end of the war. Part of the reason,in my opinion,that we use our own weapons is they are made by a British firm,which has unless I'm mistaken,ties to British Waste of Space (or BAe as they are called..)

Same here,the MR2s were white iirc...

No such weapon...What you refer to is the guidance / processing unit of the LGB parts.I gather a aftermarket accessories maker started calling them that,wrongly,and it caught on.

We (RAF) Don't use HARM missiles,we did use ALARM's up until a couple months ago when they were withdrawn from service.

That makes 2 of us mate,I think the RAF ones are good,but the ones done by Germany & Italy make them look like bloody racing cars!....Wonder how long it'll be till they have spomsorship logo's on them....

One of the guys on 'that other site' posted the instructions,looks like it's a lot more complex than the sprue shots make it out to be,the's even some scope in the cockpit area as the IP's are separate from the backboxes,so should make scratch building/adding aftermarket PE a bit less fiddly.. http://www.revell.de/fileadmin/import/images/bau/03987_%23BAU_PANAVIA_TORNADO_IDS.PDF

Yes,we only had the GR1 at Bruggen,all the GR1A'a were over at that second class dump Larrparts...

I assume so,although I've loaded them loads on times on Tornado & we always loaded them on the centerline SWERU on the port shoulder pylon,with a drop tank on the right one.I cannot for the life of me remember if we ever loaded a boom to the starboard shoulder pylon or even a pair of them!.... You'll need to add the thin red fin guards if it's on the ground as well.... "TAIL SUPPORTED MAN ONE!"

No they're not,I can't see any MACE fairings for the shoulder pylons.....

What are you working on Murph?

I have the same issue with the one I've got on a stalled build,again none of the ones I've made before have fitted flush...

No mate,the bombs can vary in color quite a lot,Training weapons were blue,not Bronze Green as Bobski said.aside from display weapons,Coming upto things like WST (Weapons Standards Team) visits,bombs would ofter be repainted by the dumpies

And sods law one side of the loader would fail,normally on WST....We managed to rip off the main undercarriage hydraulic lines when that happened... Thankfully it was on the WTC's training (non-flying) airframe...

They were'nt deep bronze either Murph..Photo pinched from a mate..

Yup,the may have been some painted up in a different green for display ,but not used on operational jets.

This build's on hold for a while,I'm gonna have to retrofit some kind of cockpit back & floor,and sods law the local hobby shop has ran out of the thick plastic card I need! (TBH,It's also trying my patience!)

Nah...THIS is by far the best ever scheme done bar NONE!... http://img.airport-data.com/images/aircraft/small/000/479/479916.jpg

Got the fuselage buttoned up,haven't added the movable gear doors as yet as they are flexible enough to bend to fit,nose gear well slipped a bit when fitting but I'm gonna live with it!lol And the pilot & seat is coming along nicely!

Correct,they're baggage pods.

Incidentally,the Type F trolley can be used with the BAe Nimrod aircraft with some slight modifications,

I'm in if I'm out of hossy by then,I have the Airfix 1/24 Harrier GR3 which'll be built in conjunction with Dave Parkins update set...Now just need to find space to put it!
