Angell328 Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Oh what an amazing line up! I have yet to find an aircraft that doesn't look good in Grey/Green wrap around, it is the 80's RAF in a nutshell. Superb! Matt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirDrinksalot Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 What a great collection and as others said, a great time for the RAF fleet, how about a BAe146 from the Queens flight! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unfinished project Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Superb flightline of some of the RAFs finest. Your pictures look like an British airshow from the early 80’s 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wittering, Binbrook, Wattisham, Lossiemouth, Lyneham, and the rest. Names that go with the jets that were there 18 hours ago, Angell328 said: Oh what an amazing line up!

Well I was thinking of a Jetstream before a 146, but they look nice. I was looking at the Duxford one the other day. Would love a vacform 1/48 of either. 3D print is great but rather pricey 12 hours ago, Unfinished project said: Superb flightline of some of the RAFs finest. Your pictures look like an British airshow from the early 80’s I have a bunch of US & Euro 80s aircraft too - Soesterberg Eagle, Dutch Starfighter, German Gina and Recon Phantom, Bentwaters A-10, several Euro F-16s, Upper Heyford Spark Vark, TR-1, Blackbird, etc so could do a decent early 80s Mildenhall show line up! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bar side Posted August 18, 2022 Author Share Posted August 18, 2022 On 7/30/2022 at 10:07 AM, Winded Penguin said: Lovely 👍 As a longshot, can I ask if the Hawker Hunter is representing XF382 from 234 Squadron Tactical Weapons Unit (I'm currently building an F6A 1/48 Hunter)? I got her out & checked today. She is XG130 of 45 Sqn RAF Wittering. She shouldn’t really be in the line up as she crashed (pilot survived) in Jun 1974 so can’t make an 80s line up. Really need a 1/48 wrap around camo twin seat Hunter. They did look very cool 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's an F6A in 1976, so quite similar looking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I messed up by painting the back of the canopy, but didn’t know any better when I built her 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know about boldness with the Dominie, I guess no one said it couldn’t be done so I kept going. Just don’t seem to get the time for a scratch build now though.
