theplasticsurgeon Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 (edited) This Kit: Started - but cleared by Mish to continue. [ Airbrushed grey on 6 June 2015. [ Cost me the princely sum of £4.50 in 1996! That's not inflation - more a pricing error that I spotted, but the shop didn't. I bought 2 Tornados that day! Same place got a computerised pricing system a few years later. I tried to buy a mis-priced HS-125 Dominie that was about half RRP - and was all but accused of sticker swapping. Didn't buy much more from them after that. Edited June 19, 2015 by theplasticsurgeon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hepster Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 I do like this - I gather the Airfix Tornado is not the best, but I am sure you will use your skills to make sure that it scrubs up well! Considering you are mainly a 1/72 modeller if I recall, you have done quite a few excellent 1/48 Airfix Britjets lately. I will be following this, as I am bashing away at my third Tornado at the mo - but rather more slowly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
