Oh yes, I have one of those, an original Pegasus one, and I've been wondering how to Whiff it.

Just putting RAF Sqdn markings on it and hanging some Skyflashes underneath seem a bit obvious though.

Given that the Germans nearly pulled out of Eurofighter, perhaps Thatch may have gone it alone?

Actually, the ***** would have just axed EFA and bought US. 

Venturing into the prohibition on political posts here I think...

But it'll rattle the JMNs 

do it as active RAF, and a Eurofighter in the blue / white test colours, then do the write up so that the story confirms it, and see how many you catch 

I think OGL already did the 'standard RAF' EAP a while back, I've certainly seen one on the SIG stand a couple of times.

It was certainly expressing an opinion which would/could annoy some and kick off a ruck (although I doubt the later), however as I'm not feeling brilliant at the moment I've amended it. Sorry if that annoys people, but I have to draw a line somewhere and perhaps I've been a little too lenient recently ?

A few years ago, in a universe just a little bit to one side ......

I'd prefer styrene, I've developed a slight aversion to resin kits although I should probably get over it.

The original Pegasus kit is in styrene, albeit somewhat TOUGH styrene.  I suspect they may be rather rare these days though.

Not guilty Kit
Sounds like one of trevors.

I have a resin 1/50  desktop model in the stash with a pair of conformal tanks.

Do you think that Airfix will produce a better Ford Tri-Motor kit, either re-released with new glazing or a new mould?

Quote from: AeroplaneDriver on March 17, 2023, 08:20:38 AMOnce the shape gets nailed down a bit more I'd love to see a Tempest (the new one). 

I rather suspect that it will remain a "what if " regardless of whether or not the shape gets nailed down.

I used solid colour decal sheet cut to shape

If you read the latest news on it I think it's becoming more and more likely.  The formal agreement with Japan on development makes it both more affordable and politically harder to abandon.   A lot of future UK industrial base and jobs will be based on it too. For once I'm optimistic.  Obviously all can change in a heartbeat but I'd bet we see a prototype at Farnborough sooner than later.

Unlikely because the last request for ideas was for items they had not done before.

I'd probably do something similar these days, either pre-printed decals or masks. I was 14-ish when I built it and probably unaware of aftermarket stuff.

Now known by the catchy title of Global Combat Air Programme.  I personally think it's got a good chance of going ahead in some form.  Here's the latest GCAP artwork:
