Georgeconna Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Hi folks, Happy new year. Though I just dumped stuff into one thread from here. Was shopping in Aldi and spotted a lone Hurricane from Airfix on the shelf so I felt sorry for it and took it away and started to crack into it. Was enjoying it so much decided to pop my P-51 cherry and pulled that out too plus whilst up in the loft sticking some rubbish up I spotted a Tornado F.3 that I brough back down so all three are on the go. Hurri is nearly done. The 51 is a lovely fitting kit and the Tornado well it not the best. I'll be doing that in flight on a stand. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galteemore Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 (edited) Lovely stuff. The life size F3 was a bit of a bodge job anyway. Everyone knows that the real Tornado is a GR1 - or even better, GR4….. Edited January 5, 2022 by Galteemore 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgeconna Posted January 5, 2022 Author Share Posted January 5, 2022 Well this one is really a Hybrid GR.1 as the rear Navs cockpit is the same as the Italria GR.1 kit. they just changed the front moulds. No one has pointed that out to me yet on inspecting the previous ones so I ain't bothered forking out for resin replacements 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone knows that the real Tornado is a GR1 - or even better, GR4….. The UK has a "Blue" prefix for the radar in their aircraft. For example the Blue Fox in the original Sea Harrier and the Blue Vixen in the FA2. During development of the Tornado F3 they put concrete in the nose of the aircraft for ballast and christned it "Blue Circle" Nothing to do with the performance of the radar itself Edited January 5, 2022 by RANGERMOUSE forgot to put "for ballast" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2996 Victor Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 Beautiful work, George, the Viggen is absolutely stunning, as is the Hurricane. I must be completely ham-fisted as I've had several goes at the Airfix Mk.1 Hurri and I just can't make a decent job of it! Looking forward to seeing how the Mustang shapes up, too!
