I thought I recognised that cab.... I'm not a truck modeller but I did photograph a few of those for a client a while back - yes, I think they were mainly dustbin wagons!

I started a thread on Truck Model World forum about displays and used your display as an example of a well produced display, hope you don't mind ;D Andrew Thanks for the compliment, Andrew. We thought it was quite good, too - a pity the judges of the Branch displays didn't recognise the fact!!! Couldn't find the thread, by the way.

Well, in December 2004 I was sent down to Falklands to survey one of the bars at Mount Pleasant airbase. When we took off to come back to England, 2 Tornado's provided escort from the island for a short while, then returned to base. This is one of them I photographed from our plane. Been trying to find out which squadron they're from. Cool! Great experience and nice to remember it in kit form. A pity it's not in unit markings but that should make it easier to reproduce. Dragon used to do a 1435 Flight F.3 in 1/144 scale (with the Maltese Cross on the tail). I don't know if it's still available but it's a bit small for you anyway. Other than the decals Alfie mentions, I don't know of any other options. Having said that, I'm wondering about the 'VW' tailcode. Did 1435 Flt use 2 letter tailcodes at some point? Was it a temporary replacement aircraft from another squadron? I have a vague recollection of codes going a bit haywire a few years back - due to the 'rationalisation' of the F3 force - I don't recall which squadron was allocated 'V*' codes. 1435, of course, have famously long used the single letter codes F, H, C and D for their 4 aircraft and the Tornados were no exception....

Go on then, cosmosman - I'll ask the question... Why that particular Tornado? It doesn't have any real distinguishing features. Is it because you like Volkswagens? Or are you into Vivienne Westwood?

Perhaps our Publicity Officer could contact the school... He's in Shropshire and the school is less than a mile from The International Centre!

brings the total to approximately £700. Blimey heck! At least it's in installments and as Alfie says - the only game in town. And maybe, with the way kit prices have been going, when Trumpeter DO get around to releasing one, the price differential may not be all that great!

Has anybody done the sums yet? How many partworks x how much per issue?

Thanks for posting this, tiggs63. You've had something of a trial but at least you've saved a few of us from repeating the experience... That's one of the good things about the forum and, I agree with Nick, sharing this in the IPMS Mag would be a useful exercise. It'd be good to have a build article that isn't to the usual 'format'!
Not sure I'd have stretched to £28 but now I know I don't need to....
