Flew some pretty hairy JP-233 runway denial missions in the first few days of Desert Storm, if I remember correctly.

Way to go!

Gents,

As the title suggests I think it is time to call this finished. Been a long time but hopefully it was all worth it.

I am off on Friday, so if the weather permits I will get some outside shots. For now though, thanks for following and the comments, hope you have enjoyed.

Now I need to put some thought into what will be next. My stash is somewhat limited at present. However I do have a stalled Airfix 1\72 English Electric Lightning F.2A on the shelf which I think deserves some tlc and finishing.

More soon.

Tim

Tim, love the GR.1! Also, weathering on the tail is perfectly fine as the RAF and Italian Tornados got extremely heavy soot build-up on the vertical stab during Desert Storm. Some even had the bottom 1/3 of the tail almost completely blackened because of the exhaust stains. Here's "Foxy" after she got back to England, pink and dirty.

Thanks Ian,

I have that picture for reference also, which is why the leading edge of the tail fin has a yellow stripe on it. It looks like there should also be the same colour applied to the leading edges of each wing. 3 panels each side. Mine can be "FK" shortly after arrival in theatre so more visible. That would be my excuse as I am not that confident of replicating her when she got back.

As title suggests, the "Tonka" is now in the cabinet. However, taking advantage of the balmy November day that it is, a few pictures taken outside for you delectation or not.

It's taken some time but has been enjoyable and, for me, the end piece justifies the time spent on it.
