mtd350 Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 No prob Daz,Just remember,Tornado's dont have tracks!They have things called wings.... I dunno F3 PT (ZH555) when it was in its 56 Sqn disguise had tracks on it . It was the only way they could get it off the runway after it landed with undercarriage problems (the pilot forgot to put the wheels down) So there is hope for you yet Daz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind out for libel charges from a disgruntled F3 pilot . They actually had a unique problem with the undercarriage and did very well to get it back in one piece. I believe they 'craned' it off as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beany Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 I've been busy with work and real life but now I've broken up for Xmas and have two weeks of eating, boozing, slobbing and farting to look forward to, which obviously means time for kitting as well - or scraping plastic as the wife and kids put it. Here's my entry of this GB, the 1:48th Italeri IDS that I bought because of the fancy markings which I'm always a sucker for. On opening the box I've also found a Bilek 1:72 Tornado and bits from my unfinished 1:32 Revell Tigermeet jobby so I may take a crack at them at the same time (although the 1:32 is nearly 85% complete I'd say can't be part of this GB, I'll just post a pic when finished if you're interested). I bought two of the Bilek/Italeri kits and did one of them before for a 24 hour Blitzbau over on Gregs forum. I thought it came out pretty good considering - I even used the horrid old Airfix pot acrylics so the paint would be dry quickly to get the decals on. I took a couple of photos of a Saudi Tornado in this scheme at Farnborough Airshow in '86 or '88 - can't remember exactly - which is why I'm keen on it. So I may do the unbuilt one here in Saudi colours again and take a bit more than 24 hours over it this time. Cheers Al. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtd350 Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 Ooooooh mtd350! Mind out for libel charges from a disgruntled F3 pilot . They actually had a unique problem with the undercarriage and did very well to get it back in one piece. I believe they 'craned' it off as well. Correct, they did do well to keep it in one piece. IIRC it was a there ya go that's how ya do it wi no wheels landing. I'll probably be wrong but wasn't it the student pilot that landed the plane. Yes they would have used a crane to put it on to the recovery bogies (which are tracked), took it back to the hanger and after some :shithappens: and some and they knocked the dents out stuck a treble one flash on the tail , hoped no one noticed and sent it flying again with the part that caused all the problems in the first place fixed .......................hopefully Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jussie202 Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 This will be my first attempt at a GB as well as my first submissions on any forum so hopefully I can handle it!! I'll be building a British GR4 (Sqn to be decided) in 1/48 using the italeri kit plus a few extras (mainly weapons + fuel tanks) from the Airfix kit.
