Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Very, VERY good Thomas, one of your best.  :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:



Agree totally  :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

You've also managed to make the Tornado look attractive  :thumbsup:
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Mind you, I am slightly biased, being as you've saved me the problem of writing the backstory for my F5.  ;D ;)

Thank you, you're welcome. Since your F5 has been on the bench, too, I'd thought I'd cook up a combo update development for the F3, with slightly different roles. It's just a personal interpretation of your build, but the longer wings and fuselage just cried "more patrol time" to me, and my conversion would rather target at a slightly higher performance at closer range.  ;)

The "action scenes" also cam out nicely. Everyday business over the North Sea and the Atlantic...

Glad you like it and don't mind my creative ideas!

LOL. It really looks ...different. I am not certain if the pictures convey it, but the fuselage, without the original wedge intakes and also without the "lateral step" in front of the landing gear wells, looks really sleek. I hoped for a good (read: non-goofy) look, but it turned out better than hoped for.  :lol:

That was exactly the scenario I had in mind for the F5, longer loiter time etc.  :thumbsup:

In return I may steal your weapons load of four Meteors and some 'winders too, sounds like a good mix.

I better get on and finish the model now!  :o
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)
