i didnt get an answer to my question in the other thread before it got locked
does it have to be 'real world?'........is whiffing allowed?
Hi Guys
Got a couple of questions with regards to the various builds.
How many 1/32 Tornados are in this GB?
Of those, how many will be Op Granby ie. The first Gulf War?
If we end up with 6 desert yellow Tonkas it doesn't really matter, I'm just curious!
Cheers

Aires do a nice resin cockpit for the 1/32 Tornado. Amazing detail. Ive put it on my Christmas list!.

F3's in the gulf...?
I have a wish to do the big three, Tonka, brick and a Jag. (only the Tonka for this build though). However, the Tornado I have is an F3 so I am not so sure if its the right type. Are the differences air-frame, avionics or both?
The Tornado F3 was the air defence variant. With a longer nose and armed with 4 sidewinders and 4 skyflash missiles. Plus it had only one Mauser cannon on the right hand side of the nose as opposed to the GR1/4 which has 1 eah side.The RAF sent 18 . These were used for combat air patrols over land. I was civilian ground crew during the first gulf war on Saudi no.29 sqdn Tornado F3's. We had 12 aircraft with serial no.s from 2901 to 2912 inclusive. Plus some aircraft attached to us from the othe Saudi F3 sqdn normally based at khamis Mushayt. Dont know what squadron the RAF Kites were from. So if i get the new 1/48 Revell F3 for christmas, i will be doing it as a Saudi machine as well,F3's in the gulf...?
