RAF Tornado F.2 1/48

[At Sea]

Hi,

I have a plan to build a Tornado F.2 in the very attractive 229 OCU colours bu using the Revell Tornado IDS & F.3 kits.

The underside of the rear fuselage and jet pipes will need modifying (taken from the IDS box) and I'll have to only fit one Sidewinder rail per pylon not 2.

 

 

I have come across a stumbling block in that I can't find any 229 OCU decals in 1/48th.

The closest are these from the Airfix kit, but I'm not keen on paying for a whole kit I won't build for the tail fin decals only.

 

 

Does anyone know of these decals in 1/48?

 

Model decal did them on set 90 but that's 1/72 and I haven't yet managed to home print useable decals. 

 

 

If I'm very careful I could probably mask and paint the yellow and red dart by using a scanned template but if anyone has the tail markings spare that'd be nice!

Gave mine away at the end of this Red Zebra  build.

Some should have them in their leftovers.

Thanks for that, hope so!

 

I like the red zebra scheme. Very nicely done.

I'm surprised the likes of Xtradecal have not done a sheet of F2/F3 schemes with the appearance of the Revel 1/48th kit?

Here's hoping, the GR.1 decal sheets they did are just magnificent.

Would be nice.

+1 Would love to see an early F.2/3 sheet, especially the F.2 ADV prototype.
