Modern RAF Selection

[neil5208]

So I haven't made any modern RAF jets, I have 3 Harriers (2xGR3 and a GR9) 1 Jaguar GR1 and a Jet Provost but nothing from the last 10-15 years. I have a few kits in the stash which are likely subjects so let me know what you think?

The Typhoon kit is on its way from Ebay.

do a hawk before the bean counters ground them all then sell them for scrap.

Hawk or Tornado!  We love the disruptive camo schemes.

Chose the Hawk since it's the most aerodynamic of the four.

Also, how do you make a poll?

Lightning or Typhoon for me, the others aren't modern at all 🤔

So far the Tornado is the top choice with the Lightning second, the Hawk and Typhoon 3rd and 4th respectively. I cant recall seeing either of these kits being built on BM so here's the sprue shots of the leaders, Tornado first. I have the 2000 re-box of the 1998 new tool release of the aircraft with new GR1 specific parts. Look well detailed for it age but some flash and sink marks.

The F35B is a new tool kit released in 2019 and is more accurate than the initial F35 released in 2000 based on the prototypes. Some lovely detail and option for flaps/engines/hatch in landing/open/closed positioned. Only thing Italeri could have included is the Meteor and ASRAAM missiles for the RAF versions.

I really prefer the Tornado parts, which have better quality detail.  Also, it looks like good value for one's money with all that ordnance thrown in!  Revell even gives you a choice of jammer pods!
