This is the HobbyBoss 1/48 Tornado
GR1 converted to a GR4 ZA600 in 41(R) TES anniversary markings. The decals are
custom made by a friend as none are available for this scheme at the
moment.

The Tornado has the
current Ops fit of Paveway 4, Brinstome, Tanks, ECM amd AIRCM pod and Lightning
3. It's also got ASRAAM fitted. The AIRCM pod is converted from a standard |BOZ
107. All flags are either Eduard or masking tape, exhaust and intake blanks are
masking tape. Seats are Paragon as are the wheels.
For all it's "apparent"
problems I liked this Hobbyboss kit, it went together without to many snags and
it does look the part. The kit took the best part of 3 months on and off and was
built for the Squadrons 95th on 23 September 2011, it went down well, so well in
fact I've got another commission but in 1/72 from my Wing
Commander.......can't say no I guess.
