Typhoon

[Lucas1860]

He is my revell 1:48Typhoon. It has been a pig to make, none of the decal numbers corrersponed with the sheet, had to get a magnifyer out and fix them from the sheet,also had to reference some from photographs I had taken. Its a Conningsby scheme c&c welcome.









Next a UK based F111E (1:48)

[Lucas1860]

Thanks XP, gives it more guts as a bomber.

Italeri kit ?
If so , snap

[Olicat]

if its uk based then it might not be that kit, only has markings for USAF by the looks of things

[Cluny]

Decals are for 2 x RAF Upper Heyford based E models and 2 x RAF Lakenheath based F models

[Olicat]

oh sorry, just on the box it only says USAF markings

[Xplumberlives]

oh sorry, just on the box it only says USAF markings

F111s operated under USAFE command from both Upper Heyford and Lakenheath!

[Olicat]

that explains it

[Xplumberlives]

Simples!

I've come across Aardvarks and Warthogs, etc, etc, but I haven't seen a flying Meerkat (yet).

[Xplumberlives]

Not looking in the right places!

It looks Ok, had a dry fit, seems to go well, I can see it will need some filler though.
