Tornado Themed Build?

[Dizzyfugu]

I am considering one.

I just "won" an Airfix MRCA on the Bay of Evil.
$7 (I was the only bidder) plus postage.

This is making me think. I haven’t built a Tornado since an ancient MRCA when I was a kid.

They never did replace the Canberra T17A....

If inspiration is needed, February's Aviation News is a Tornado special edition

Beat me to it, I bought it y'day and pretty good it is too. Mostly about operations rather than the techie stuff.

There's a Japanese-edition 1:72 Airfix MRCA on eBay UK at present at TWA QUID as we'd say here.

I particularly like:

"Tube of Japanese glue included"

I bet that's got HM Customs "glued"  to their monitors watching for UK based bids

It's like those sellers who write GET YOURSELF A BARGAIN! and then set a reserve price...

Can I enter my half built Tornado F5 in the Theme Build, or has it gone too far already?

As a “Themed Build” as opposed to a GB with rules, Id say the more the merrier.   Bring it on! 

[PR19_Kit]

Great, thanks. 

I'll get back on it.

[Dizzyfugu]

Nice to see it eventually finished. 

Some inspiration from my own vault: en ex-German Tornado IDS in Czech service:

...and Tornado F.5's sister ship, the F.6, from the recent RAF Centenary GB:

I will never understand those who set a reserve on Evil-Bay.  Why not just set the amount you want to get as a minimum as the starting amount?

My MRCA is on the way.  I have a couple of possible wing doners in mind but no ideas on a colour scheme or user.
