Johnson Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 LP Models make beautiful 3D printed ladders. Does anyone know if the 1/72 ladder for the Tornado GR.4 would also be correct for a GR.1? TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Jabba, but I was more thinking of an Op Granby GR.1, if the promised Eduard (Revell) kit ever arrives! Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does this picture help, it's a scan of an old newspaper photograph from January 1991 showing the ladder. Gulf War 1 - RAF Tornado GR1 Flightline Image by richard.everett3, on Flickr More knowledgeable heads may be able to confirm but I have seen this ladder referred to as an "RAF Germany" ladder even though it was used by both UK and German based squadrons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
