Well here is my first WIP. And I want to thank Frietag, Cheshiretauras and Shark65 for thier threads, which have seriously inspired me, so thanks guys! I have a feeling I may go a little A little background first...I'm an Ex-RAF Armourer who worked on Tornado's (GR1's, XV Sqn, and F3's, Tremblers) for 9 years. Love GR1's Despise F3's!! Work that out lol I've got 2 missions, the first is to build an XV Sqn Tonka in as many scales as possible, I have a 1:1 to play with as well at Bruntingthorpe ZA326. This is a 1/72, then I have the old Airfix 1:48 and Revel 1:144, both Xmas pressies, and I need to get the 1:32 model. They will all be Dio's, of the same aircraft. ZA446 'F' 'MacRoberts Reply' XV Sqn. But which one? A) Or My 2nd Mission is to build all the A/C that XV Sqn flew...Bar the period they were part of the Areoplane and Armament Experimental Establishment trial fleet, where they flew over 12,000 hours on over 70 different types!!!!! It will be an example of everyday life on the flightline, no loadouts, so GroundCrew, AirCrew, GSE and Bomb Trolley as well as all the bits that are there during a T/R (Turn Round) So here we go with pictures...
