alhenderson Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Afternoon All,  I've recently come into possession of the Hasegawa 1/72nd Tornado F.3. I'm thinking that I'd quite like to do it in the early 5 sqn scheme with the red band across the tail and the chevron on the nose. However, looking around t'internet I've only found 1/48 scale ones 😞 Don't suppose anyone knows of any sources for 1/72 5sqn markings?  Cheers, Al.

mackem01 Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Could you not use some red decal sheet for that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Potentially, but there's a maple leaf in a white disc superimposed on it for the tail markings, and both have what looks like a black outline.   Al.

More a matter of having this sheet in the Decal Dungeon. 😎  Incidentally, this sheet might be what you're looking for as well:  https://www.scalemates.com/kits/xtradecal-x051-72-raf-1998-2000-update--1017040  Cheers,  Andre    Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theplasticsurgeon Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 That scheme has been released by Airfix - in 1989, https://www.scalemates.com/kits/airfix-04035-panavia-tornado-f3--147604 so someone might have it in their leftover decals.

Aha - that is awesome, thanks! So there are 3 sheets in total, none of which I could find. Must go back to internet school... 😞  Have a good weekend all!  Al. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougC Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 Al, I have the Airfix F3 in the loft (unbuilt), so if the decals are still in the box, you're welcome to the 5 Sqn markings.  Send me a PM if you haven't heard from me in a couple of days..... memory like a.... er, thingy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought I'd better buy then while they were in stock.  Al 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
