Ian Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Some of you may already know that the What If SIG is honouring the RAF's ninetieth birthday this year by putting-on a theme entitled..... RAF 100.

dswoofie Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Ian, I have to say that neither of them look like whiffs to me at all! If I saw them I'd think they were genuine, especially the Typhoon... and that is meant as a huge compliment BTW!! They just look absolutely 'right' the way they are, what if scheme's but look like genuine service aircraft! Both of them are great builds an nicely weathered too. Karl.

GreenDragon Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Looking great Ian, like the exhaust stains on the Typhoon. The Meteor's my favourite of the two, looks extemely "right". Paul Harrison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gekko_1 Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 Hi Ian, well done mate, I like both of em, the Meteor is my favourite! In the paints you used you list "WEM", what is that? Also, are you able to tell me specifically what colours you used on the Meteor? Richard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
