Looking good. How was the fit?

Joe Marrero
Flyhawk makes really good kits. The fit was good, but this kit has some really small parts that I am finding challenging. The hull is really small so mounting options are limited. So, I decided on a waterline presentation. The instructions do not have any rigging details so that's left to the builder.

If you haven't tried Flyhawk, I think you will like their kits.

Very nice paint job. The haze grey can be tricky.

Joe Marrero
Thank you. I have since added rigging. I am waiting for my brass label to arrive to add that to the base. I will update the pictures soon.

Another to add to my RAF post war collection. 🙂

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. 👍

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. 👍

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. 🙂

Many thanks mate for your interest and like Mr D. 👍

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.
