I have these here; http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fightertown-Decals-1-48-VF-31-VX-30-Special-Ds-48008-/251340623201 (sorry,it's the only photo's of them I could find...)

Wonderland Models showing available from 1 May 14

Always used to be old Baked Bean tins from the 10 man rats in my day......Hated emptying them when I was on Teas n Keys in the dump....

Got my H/B Tomcat 'B' today & the new seats...all I can say is WOW!..For what you get for the money,it puts Hasagawa to shame!

Just received the kit & all I can say is WOW!!!!....Lost of plastic,some packaged in seperate boxes...Now the question is,if they can make a kit as good as this,then how the heck did they get the Tonka sooo bloody wrong??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Mine arrived today as well...very nice work....Just one thing,if you're doing a current Herrick Tonka,you'll need to add the pilots helmet sensor suite to the cockpit canopy,I believe only one jet has this fit as it was withdrawn from use soon after it was fitted as it didn't work...

Mine haven't arrived as yet...hopefully tomorrow...

Phil the Greek visited Kinloss & the SWO had the lads on jankers washing the coal outside the standby power station just down from the Guardroom so the coal dust wouldn't spread...

And during basic at Swinditz,,,scrub it with brillo pads then metal polish.....Polishing the black grouting between the red floor tiles in the bogs was a right barsteward too!

IF I'm not back in hossy for more Chemo,I'll join in with the HobbyBoss 1/48 F-14B converted into a 'D' mount of either VF31 or VX30,Straight from the box with the only replacement being the seats.

Just ordered a set of seats from Hannants... (Getting quite a stash built up now I'm off with the chemo...seeing as I'm gonna be out of work for the next 2 years at least,if I ever get to go back to work at all!)

Thanks mate,all the others were going for the fifty quid mark,the were some on Amazon selling for eighty odd,so I think I got a good deal!

Just got the HobbyBoss F-14B in 1/48 off flea bay for £39 & I'm planning of doing the 'D' model as I've aftermarket decals for one,so apart from the seats,what else do I need to do to make a D? http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10159952 Looking at the instructions above,the pit looks like it's got the correct rear IP.... TIA, Merv

Here's an idea for a GB.....

Got mine on pre-order from Wonderland Models.....Also have the Flightpath update set & a couple Airwaves PE cockpit sets so I'll see what one fits...

Very nive work...I know what you mean about yellow.....I did an RAF Sea King not so long ago,no matter how many coats of Revell yellow it didn't look right!And the gear & wheelbays are very light gray,not white...never seen them white in all my years on the FFK...)Flying Flick Knife)

Peeks above the parapet,looks around nevousy..."Airfix Tornado EF-3" Ducks back down...

Just bought 3 of them,just in case.....

It's bare bones basic....cockpit comes in 2 parts for example & I cant find an aftermarket pit suitable so I've got a Crusader pilot & seat from Hannants to sort of tart it up. Photo's to follow when I've found the cable for my phone....

Cockpit looks bloody aweful,Navs CRT displays look undersize,wrong colors as well for the pit,seats & gear/bays

This one is correct' https://www.whiteensignmodels.com/p/WEM+148+RAF+1000+lb+Paveway+II+LGB+PRO+4804/19224/ I'm not sure if we had the Enhanced version then.

Will do,should be arriving tomorrow

Anyone any experience of Lindenberg kits?...I just picked the one below up off fleabay for 20 quid.. http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LNDLCH

Oh yes...especially when down MPA!...Then it was "the big f.o Gozomie Bird!" Then you had the "F.O.G"..Falklands Old Guy" when you were nearly at the end of your 4 month tour & then you became the "F.R.O.G" for "Falklands Really Old Guy" for those about to escape...

Deffo not white but a very light gray,I use a lightened aircraft gray.
