A build over on EASTmodels.sk is well worth keeping an eye on. Martin Beneš from The Czech Republic is spraying the tail on his build of 45+44, 50 year anniversary of JaBoG 33. Here are some inspiring images.
It is less than fifty days until IPMS Scale Model World in Telford. We have an amazing display planned, with a split between a Gulf War anniversary display and a Luftwaffe display based on Wingman Decal's Luftwaffe Tornados Part 1 Sheet. If you are able to make a small £1 donation to the cost of the display we would really appreciate your support. This year's display materials have cost over £100 (and counting)

Walk arounds of the four Tornados at RIAT 2016 have been added to the website. XV(R) Sqn were there for possibly the last time as the squadron is rumoured to disband in March as the out of service date for the Tornado approaches. The Luftwaffe brought two Tornados, an ECR in 60th Anniversary special markings (somewhat muted in comparison to the Typhoon) and an ASSTA 3.0 IDS that was, interestingly still in the Norm 95 camouflage scheme.
