That tornado is the business! Very cool collection Vic!

I'd like to do something like that myself. I've only built one jet so far, but I have a load of 1/48 MiG jets in the stash. I want to build them all in Soviet schemes. I'm just missing the 25 31, there's only 2 kits of these available and they're supposed to be complete dogs, but I've heard a rumour that Trumpeter are working on 2 new kits of the 'Big Migs'. So i'm hoping by the time I've got the rest finished they might be on the market.

The MiG 9F is only available in 1/72 so I can't do that one either. And because its such an ugly little fecker I don't think there's much demand for a 1/48 kit!
 
Smart Tornado Vic! Which kit, Airfix or Italeri? And before you ask, yes, I'm progressing with the Phantom! Might even have it finished very soon, if I can finally match the re - painted bits...what a sod of a job, tryong to match new and 'old' Barley grey! Would have been easier to get another Hasegawa kit and build a new one!!
 
Thanks guys. Just strated a second Tornado to be in the 1993 display livery.


Thanks Terry, it was the Italeri, first Aifix just started and am recording a photo construction trail as well.

The full display area, with plenty of free space for the huge stack stashed around the house.

Just another test run.


The flight line.

Glenn, I have a little anti static brush, and give them a dust from time to time, also it's my hobby room (former bedroom) so there's not much traffic in and out of it and the Dyson is often brought into play keeping the carpet clean, especially after sawing, shaving or sanding resin parts.
