That’s got ‘you’ written all over it, definitely something not OOB and requires an engineers brain to think out the possible conversion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roland Pulfrew Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 Love this lineage of aircraft and I’m pretty certain I’ve got several of the types mentioned in a range of scales, so count me in 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swamp Donkey Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 Tempest on pre order, but I’ll be delighted when Airfix announce their brand new 1/72 Sea Fury (I live in hope) I’m in SD 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob S Posted November 18, 2021 Author Share Posted November 18, 2021 I hope this GB idea hasn’t run out of puff already as it would be fun to make next year’s “The Bunfight”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob S Posted November 19, 2021 Author Share Posted November 19, 2021 Just had a thought bubble ... If we make it into the Bunfight but don’t make it out and on to the 2023 schedule is the any chance we can be guaranteed a slot in 2024 as the 85th Anniversary of the Tornado’s First Flight? @Enzo Matrix ?

Rob S Posted November 20, 2021 Author Share Posted November 20, 2021 If anyone needs any inspiration from the real subjects in this GB do a search on current restorations particularly the Typhoon and Tempest. And "Yes Vivian we have got a video" or three and there are some great ones out there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like our Toboggan has gone a little off piste so here's a little "Bump" to get it back on piste. Any other TTTFSF Fans out there that want to join in the Fun and get into the Bunfight for a 2023 slot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickyrich Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 I could be very tempted with this one....... I have a second one of these Fisher Model & Pattern 1/32nd) I need to build, no folding wings this time, am spoilt for choice scheme wise as this model came with the additional decal set by FM&P, I have 10 or so to choose from. Then there is the buddy for this one...another full resin 1/32nd beast, this time by MDC. I plan to convert it to the "Car Door" version using bits from the old Revell model. The scheme would be Nt African desert, possibly one of 3 test aircraft used by the RAAF in mid 1943. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
