canberraman Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 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. Mark 20 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Latinbear Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Breathtaking! Absolutely lovely set. For me one of the top shots is the last one, the silhouette image, really atmospheric. Thanks very much for sharing these. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Cornes Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Great photos, so sad though that its being withdrawn at the top of its game. No doubt most will be razor blades before very long. Sad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonny 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonny Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 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.

Nocoolname Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 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.

If they did a GR.4 Limited Ed needless to say I'd snap one of those up also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
