The other Tonkas:

ZD739 AC - Armoured Charmer:

Also based at Tabuk, ZD739 conducted 36 TIALD missions - shown here with a TIALD loaded.

ZA447 EA MIG Eater:

Also based at Tabuk (with 9 SQN, AK and AC were with 15 SQN), ZA447 displays 40 mission symbols.  The first three are airfield denial missions, which would have used the JP-233 weapons shown loaded.  After these 3 missions, MIG Eater reverted to bombing.  There is a MIG kill marking, but I don't know the details.

The three Tonka's together:

Anola Kay is the Airfix kit, with MIG Eater being the Italeri Tornado IDS kit and Armoured Charmer the Italeri Tornado ECR kit - all 1/48th.  All markings came with the Airfix kit.
