    I presume you mean codes and serials? Hannants only lists stencils and interior detail decals at present - they are a bit slow with the Kits World set above. This is a kit screaming for after market, though the kit decals are give nice subjects IMHO. Montex have some mask sets coming, one of which has an extended wingtip option.

    Beware to the Top Notch masks - these LOOK like they have markings for specific aircraft, but the writing on the product says it is only the camouflage pattern. I would like to do Clive Caldwell's a/c and nearly got sucked in to buying one of their sets.

    The 32 sqn Spit is catching my eye!

    I find the best way of checking something like this is to load up the model on the Hannants web site, as they are quite good at linking all relevant AM products to the base model.

     

    i.e.

    Airfix Aircraft kits - AX17002 | Hannants

     

    It's obviously in their interests to do so accurately, to maximise add-on sales, and they tend to be pretty comprehensive!

    Thank you both, that helps a lot. I can see me doing a long span Spit!

    Were you guys inside the base or you were in close proximity at some spotting place? When I was there I saw no way to get near and saw to Tornadoes by accident and from a fair distance.

    I was out there with  231 ocu ( Canberra  training unit ) we were on the main base operating from the large main pan and single hanger. Passed through on detachments with Tonkas ( Tornado GR1 / 4 ) on our way to Ozz to fire off alarm missiles at Womerah.

  4. Sorry if this is in the wrong forum but here goes. Im in the process of building my Typhoon in the makings 175 Sqn SW399.  The problem I have is witch mod of radiator did it use?  The decal sheet shows a red and yellow paint scheme on the front grill ( part D16 ) but should this also be used with part D 17 ( think this is a filter of some kind ) It just seems odd having part D 16 just hanging there not doing a lot. I have looked through lots of pics and seen all kinds of radiator mods on the Typhoon but not one of this aircraft, Can anybody help?

     

    Oh and while Im on a roll, Anybody seen any pics of the late style rocket rails fitted to Typhoons? I can only find them fitted to Mozies.

     

    Thanks in advance, Ill go away now!  lol.

  5. Just received my 2nd replacement Q sprue after the original boxing was flawed as was the first replacement Airfix sent, though it was at least crack free. This second one is also crack free but still has the dimple/distortion. I don't know if this one comes from the replacement shipment Airfix mention in the email a couple of posts above, I had the same email myself as they only received and shipped some yesterday things from that part if the country generally don't get here overnight unless you use couriers. Not sure whether to fire off another email to Airfix.

     

    Same here, Im not sure if Airfix are that bothered about the dimple, which is s shame. Not sure if I will bother with another E mail just to get another one with adimple.

  6. replacement canopy arrived today, from an initial email sunday night

     

    new canopy is without crack

     

    i still think Tamiya clear parts are crisper, but it is decent enough

     

    very happy with Airfix service

    Had my replacement come today too, Still got big dimple in it and moulded a little bit poorer.
