Alan P Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Blimey that was quick! I have made decals before, but something like that is way beyond me. I suppose we can only wish, eh? I console myself that there are about 9 million decal options for the Tamiya F-16C, wouldn't want anyone to think i was complaining or anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 (edited) Yip agree with you guys, I don't know why the 32nd Tonka has been ignored. Shame on you UK decal manufacturers Great build there Justin, lovely looking Tonka Graham. Edited February 24, 2009 by Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zipper Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Superb build! So nice to see Shiny Two in model form, I designed this scheme whilst stationed at Marham along with the Canberra PR9 'end of an era' scheme on XH134. Well done fella.

Phartycr0c Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 That is one really nicely executed build with lovely markings only wish they did em in 32nd. One observation though if I may, a bit of a spotterish thing actually, nothing at all to do with your execution, Shiny Two was / is ZD 748 which is a "standard" GR4 not a GR4a which means there are no SLIR windows on its flanks.

Walt Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 This article / build is just what I wanted! Just found three Airfix Tornado's I have had for some time in 1/48th. Not much to build as around 80 parts and she's done. This model looks truly superb and is an inspiration to me to do the best I can with the one's I have. i have not built any kits for some years but have found many in my Mother's attic and it's like a model shop in my room!!! Anyway, thanks for this and hope I can do as well as you have..:-} Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwi Boy Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Great build and finish but are the slats upside down? cheers Bob Sorry I meant are the flaps on upside down? cheers Bob According to this article and photos of the real thing, jussie202 has done correct with Shiney Two, unlike the fellow in this article: http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/74688-tornado-gr4-617-sqn/page-2 Just a bit of info for jussie202 if you see this, II AC Sqn based at RAF Marham in Norfolk was and I believe still is a Regiment Squadron in that it's main role is to back up the regiment troops with close air support and Recon. Originally outfitted with the Tornado GR1A and the GR4A, these versions carry the SLIR (Sideways Looking Infra Red) cameras. I can only assume however that given operations in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and others, that the role of II AC Sqn would have been adapted to cover all ground operations for all NATO troops and to cater for the use of more modern equipment such as RAPTOR, Storm Shadow, Brimstone, TIALD and the new BOZ pods.
