I have one in the stash to be used for parts for the basic Pegasus EAP kit. I am told this is the best use for it  ;)
Is that a close second to putting it in the bin?? ;D

Have no fear, any left over Tornado parts will be offered on this site for others to use. Doorstops or kit bashing  ;D

IIRC the Airfix F.3 has a new fuselage, fin and some new weaponry whilst using some of the old MRCA/GR.1/GR.4+4A kit parts.  Seen nothing but lacklustre comment on the kit.

Brilliant ;D
I have started building the kit, as said before all raised panel lines are gone, easy enough job, as the plastic is soft. Lots of sanding and trimming back of flash, and seams to fill. So much for an easy build this time. The landing gears on the part built tornado are missing, so can't use thosem
