It shall be put in the colours of 65-056 'Baby Jam' that came down not that far from me at Finmere [actually Barton Hartshorn to be predantic] after a fuel flow problem 2nd April 1992 [crew safe and no one hurt on the ground] .

Completed , wing sweep no longer works as the paint has glued them in place but I dont mind ;)

Its a bad kit but its showing its age [it was originally the Monogram F-111A kit from the 70's with an added sprue for the EF bits] and the kit decals were appalling , glad I got the Model Decal 42nd ECS set from Hannants beforehand ;)

i might give one of these a go:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Imai-Thunderbirds-Kit---TB4-%26-The-Firefly_W0QQitemZ320608447389QQcmdZViewItem?rvr_id=165163856710&rvr_id=165163856710&cguid=128f250912c0a0aad5714b91ffee00b5
i must admit that i've always liked the thunderbirds machine things :))
the stuka is pretty much finished, as is the gannet.
the nimrod and canberra need painting
the BF109 is almost ready for decalling
