Prince Harry's Return


Richard E

Recommended Posts

Won't add this to the existing thread on Prince Harry and I hope it's not considered flippant.

That's the first time I've seen a Tristar in the dark grey scheme (camo grey?), am I the only one that thinks it looks very smart even with the RAF's "corporate" logos.

supposed to be tactical 'not'

Bring back the White scheme for me

Sorry guys but you are both wrong. Done for very good reasons which I won't go into here, although I don't understand why the wing engines are shiny metal instead of being grey; that f***s it up completely.

And finally two and six look military instead of being some glorified airline (to quote Pete) - NOT!

Mmm, thinking 'reflective' and 'heat source'

Sorry Roland I know what you are alluding to regarding the paint. If the wings and engine cowlings had been painted grey and I cant see why. 'save wieght'

then yes I agree 2 and sixpence would look military.

Looks like this has turned into one of Britmodeller's interesting debates.

Nudging it off onto a tangent would there be any milage in a 1/144th aftermarket decal sheet for the current markings for RAF "heavies": Welsh Models produce a Tristar, Nimrod, Hercules and VC10, Airfix produce also produce a VC10 and we have a C17 coming from Revell and (IIRC) a C130 and E3 Sentry coming from Minicraft.

Model Alliance, Xtradecal any thoughts?

TwoSix decals already do a sheet for the 101Sqn anniversary scheme on the VC-10 for the Airfix kit, and the Airfix kit now has one of the two options being for the "grey" VC-10 out of the box.
