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!

Does anybody know if any aftermarket decals are in the pipeline for this kit? I have just finshed my first one and unless the LFD mk XIV conversion apears soon I will have to build another mk VIII with may be extended wing tips!

If I recall correctly it was also known as "the fin"
F 3 was called the mighty fin but the GR1 to 4 was always a Tonka. Having worked on them for many years the name came from them being built like tonka toys.

Hi, when I worked on Tornados the seat didnt change from GR1 to GR4 althought at the end of my time on them we did trial a different harness on some aircraft. Not sure if that became standard.

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.

Thanks once again Patrick, very useful stuff there. Still having doubts about the rad. lol. On one of the above pics I think I can see a filter of some kind behind the door. Will keep looking for info untill I need to fit the thing. Once again thanks.

Hi Patrick
Thanks for the pics. think you are right , I will just have to follow the instructions. The pic of the later rocket rails, do you know if they are armour piercing heads?

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.

Moved the wings back on my F6 hides the error very well. Think i will do the same again if I ever do another.

Wish that was me building her (simmo) lol.

Got hold of some Quick Shine Floor Finish from Lakeland. Works brill, A bit odd that it starts cloudy but dries clear. Thanks for the tip.

Thanks for the pointers, Will start looking

Hi
Just thought I would dip the clear parts of my 1/24 Typhoon to find the Johnson Klear seemed to have gone off! With no more about, What are you using as a replacement?
-
V nice, cant wait to start mine now!

V nice!

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.

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.
