Made a start on this kit with the cockpit which is quite basic to say the least, part of the reason I put the pilot and navigator in. 🙂

Welcome Nicolas, pull up a seat. 👍

Many thanks mates for your interest and likes Freak, Andrew B, Istvan S, Villiers DV, J35J, Andre K, Juskifo, Tommy A, NordMito & 1 other mate. 👍

Added cockpit to the upper fuselage. Lower parts of the tail added to the lower fuselage. Wings and folding mechanism added to lower fuselage. Weight added to the lower part of the nose. I wasn't certain how much to add as there is no indication in the instructions. 🙂

Guy Rump
Fuselage now together and bits of filler here and there. 🙂

Many thanks mate for your interest and like Matti T. 👍

Guy Rump
Just the jet engine intakes added this week as have been away. On the right hand side I had to cut and sand as there was a big extra part of moulding plastic in the way. 🙂

Guy Rump
Canopy masked and fixed. Primer added. 🙂

Guy Rump
Hataka Medium Sea Grey added as the main colour. Tail sprayed Hataka Jet Black. 🙂

Guy Rump
Tail now attached and the rest of the jet black (Hataka) has been added to the middle of the aircraft. Next will be painting the nose and the rear engines. 🙂

I call this completed. The plane denoted is a Tornado from 111 (F) Sqn, RAF Leuchars in 2010.

111 (Fighter) Sqn converted to the Tornado F3 from the Phantom FGR.2 in 1990 at RAF Leuchars in Scotland. Its main role there was as a part of the UK's Quick Reaction Alert to identify and if necessary, destroy hostile aircraft entering UK air space. The Sqn also carried out air operations over Bosnia in 1994/95 and took an active part on Operation Telic commanded by Wing Commander Rob Birch in 2003. 111 Sqn was the last RAF Sqn to operate the Tornado F3 and was disbanded in 2011.

Finally regarded as complete. My first attempt at a 4 engined bomber and my first attempt at rigging (aerial wires).

The aircraft denoted here is from 1943. PH-H (LM321) was the Squadron marking of 12 Sqn RAF. LM321 flew with a number of Squadrons including 460, 550 and 100. It was finally lost on the night of 10/11 June 1944 over Acheres.

Two pilots that flew in PH-H with 12 Squadron were Flight Leader Sqn Ldr FS Knight and Pilot Officer Thomas Forbes.
Thomas Forbes flew PH-H on 22 June 1943 on an operation to Mulheim whilst serving with 12 Sqn C Flight. Plt Offr Forbes was killed in action on an operation to Turin on 12 July 1943.
C Flight leader Sqn Ldr Knight and his crew failed to return from an operation to Cologne on 28 June 1943. Four are buried in Dutch cemeteries and three are commemorated on the Runnymede Memorial. Their average age was 23.
