At Sea Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 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! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theplasticsurgeon Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Gave mine away at the end of this Red Zebra build. Some should have them in their leftovers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
At Sea Posted March 27, 2018 Author Share Posted March 27, 2018 Thanks for that, hope so! I like the red zebra scheme. Very nicely done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
At Sea Posted March 27, 2018 Author Share Posted March 27, 2018 Here's hoping, the GR.1 decal sheets they did are just magnificent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mirageiv Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 +1 Would love to see an early F.2/3 sheet, especially the F.2 ADV prototype. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At Sea Posted March 28, 2018 Author Share Posted March 28, 2018 Posted in Cold War as it's mostly pre 1992 we are looking at. Please reply to that thread and see if we can get the ball rolling! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
