Hi, I've always been impressed by the low level combat ops with Tornados. However only a decade old by the time the Gulf war aka Desert Storm broke lose, It was the first conflict which I (as probably my parents let me to) followed with great interest. Shortly after through some literature I got to see these great looking Desert Pink sprayed Tornados and I was sold :) Now only a few years short of the 40, I'm going to participate and hopefully I could do some honour to the planes and crews who flew these heroic missions so low above hostile territory. So ZD740 'AD' Dhahran Annie (thank you Dstorm.eu) it is going to be. I got a Model Alliance sheet way back already so hopefully it stood against the time. I have to build a Saudi Tornado out of it as well (One at a time shall we :) ), so fingers crossed! Pictures to follow after the start sign has been given. Meanwhile good luck to y'all and hopefully it's a fun time!

ESCI 1/48 SEPECAT Jaguar GR1, Gulf War 1991
SimonR posted a topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
Hi all, Been putting the finishing touches to this today so thought I may as well get it up in RFI. Another old kit hopefully brought to life with a bit of work, I know this isnt going to come anywhere near to the Kittyhawk Jags that we have seen on this site recently, they are awesome (Respect to Mike & Mattius), but I’ve enjoyed doing it, probably pick up a Heller jag for my next big cat! Anyway, she’s painted to represent XX733 ‘Pink Spitfire’ of the first Gulf conflict circa 1991. I re-scribed some of the raised panel lines and made a few modifications here & there, paint is a mix of Revell aqua colours, decals from Xtradecal, Pavla seat and RBF tags are from Eduard. FOD guards are scratch built. To finish this properly I need to source the stores for the outer pylons and the overwing Aims, guess its going to have to be the Flightpath set for these but cant stretch to that at the moment. Anyway, here she is... Cheers Simon
