Vic, no problem mate. I'll e-mail some to you when I start scanning the stuff for Dwight, probably late Sunday (UK time). Is there anything else, specifically, you think you might need for the F3 in the way of detail shots, apart from the cockpits and, I presume, the ejection seats?
BTW, small world! We might even have bumped into each other at either of those 'fields! If you remember the security procedures for visitors at W, where you had to be escorted from the gate house - well, I got so well known, that on some (rare) occassions, they let me wander over to the particular departments I was visiting unescorted - apart from the day they rolled out the (then) EAP, which became the Typhoon II of course. Security that day was so tight, I believe some of my old lot were 'cammed up' around the perimeter!! Still got the EAP tie, badge and car sticker - but I ate the cake!!
Vic,
I just updated the picture, see if it shows up now please.
Are you building the Tornado F3 in 1/72?
She's there KG, good one.
No, I'm a 1:48 man and have just posted the first of three Tornado builds:

The second I hope to photo trail the build and started it today
Picked up a bargain today. Saw this in the window of a 'charity shop' - a brand new kit, at well under half the normal retail price too!!
It'll eventually be done as either an all yellow Harvard from Boscombe Down in the late 1980's, used for photographing parachute trials, among other things, or a an ex French aircraft, one of 50 captured and used by the Luftwaffe as a trainer at Gottingen, coded DR + XD, Red 6, again yellow overall.
It's still in its factory wrap. Snapped it up in ebay from good ol' US of A.... With shipping and all $42.50.Nice one Luck, is the kit complete with enhancement parts and what a camouflage, you could have fun doing that
Oh, don't be sorry Jan good buy mate!
Now now - there's plenty to go around. I bought the SM 82 (and the Tornado and Apache) from scale hobbyist
Scalehobbyist.com: Sm.82 Marsupiale by Italeri Models
it was 39$ marked down from 59$
but you can also get it from these shops:
Tower Hobbies for 43$
Sprue Brothers for 48$
Circle C Hobby for 39-40$ Be careful of these guys - they seemingly have good prices but their shipping charges were OUTRAGEOUS. What I saved on shipping by buying from scale hobbyist paid for the Apache!
And of course Squadron has it for 53$
There are a ton of them listed on google. Just put SM 82 Marsupiale into google search and hit "shopping" There were 3 pages of retailers and e-bay listings for that plane.
Thanks!!
