As the retro camouflaged Tornado photo set appeared to be enjoyed by the BM community, I thought I'd share a few more air to air and static shots featuring the IX(B) and 31 Sqn specials. Hope you like them, c&c always appreciated.

You know it makes sense!

 

 

Well, yes, but the sheet is IN THE WRONG SCALE!!!

 

Any chance a 1/48 version will appear, do you think?

I would hope so. Then Revell might be encouraged to repop its GR 4 kit, which isn't in the current catalogue. This would also be an ideal opportunity to ensure the LRMTS glazing is on the transparent sprue from the start. We could also dream of a decent ordinance sprue (ironically, irrelevant for the OSD display birds) including usable Sidewinders.

Either way, it seems the big H do offer the ‘right’ (1/48) scale.  Guess where I’m going next!!!

 

Thanks, everyone, for pointing it out.

 

i watched the ‘last’ flypast at Duxford last Wednesday.  I was surprised how emotional I felt.  Comparing notes with others near me revealed I wasn’t the only one.  I vividly remember seeing the then new Tornado / MRCA demonstrated at Farnborough years ago, not realising what it would achieve.

 

Cheers,

Been wanting to do an RAF wraparound scheme Tonka for a while now and had originally planned to build a GR.1 but with the above decals on their way I'll use my GR.4 boxing to build the anniversary wraparound and save my IDS for one of the special Italian scheme's.
