alaninaustria 5,503 Posted March 13, 2019 I heard a rumor earlier from a colleague who was at the Nuernberg Toy Fair that Tamiya *might* have a 1/32 scale Me-109 up their sleeve... time will tell, if this is true or not. Cheers Alan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers Alan I find this logical and realistic. I think the 109G is one of a handful of likely possibilities, personally I think it the most realistic and likely at the moment. I don’t say this from a perspective of wishing they would release a 109G, just that they have been focusing on the 109G lately and this would be a logical next step. This kit makes economic sense and they have a baseline with their 1/48 kit to take another step up in detail and fidelity. 2 esarmstrong and alaninaustria reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Surely not..... That would never happen these days right?...... right? Is it a bird, a scud, a Tornado? Oh sod it. Shoot it down anyway. No-one will ask questions! Sorry to our American friends across the pond. Just a bit of a sore subject to ex-RAF Tornado personnel when it's mentioned.

Yet the Tornado’s malfunctioning IFF system is rarely mentioned when discussing this. “The Board concluded that ZG710’s IFF had a fault, which was unknown to the aircrew, and that the lack of IFF at the time of the accident was a contributory factor.” https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/82817/maas03_02_tornado_zg710_22mar03.pdf 1 Tony T reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AlanG 495 Posted March 13, 2019 Without trying to go off-topic so much and i am truly sorry to the OP.... i know the facts of the case. Just a bit raw. I knew Dave Williams (navigator ZG710) 2 MikeC and Tony T reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Did the Patriot battery mention that (thinking they might be under missile attack and running to their bunker) they turned the missile defence to automatic? The report is a whitewash, but let's move on in the knowledge that the missile crews' SOP has been revised, the Tornado "accident" being one of three — the other two concerning a USMC and a Canadian Hornet over the past three decades, which also were fatal. Those are the facts Tony 2 MikeC and AlanG reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
