Desert Storm Tonka !
« on: January 09, 2012, 06:22:17 AM »
Well new site that i was very nicely invited to so i guess i should post something...

Most of you will have seen this if your on "What if" or "Britmodeller" already but here goes...



My last build fully finished was this :

My 1:72 Tornado GR.Mk1 ZD790/D
"D for DEBBIE"
Muhurraq Tornado detachment
No. XV Squadron RAF
As flown by the famous Squadron Leader
Pablo Mason and Squadron Leader Gary Stapleton

Operation Desert Storm Jan-Feb 1991

Pablo Mason led his formation of four Tornados (and sometimes two-four ships) on 19 hazardous bombing missions over Iraq. His first misson was the most frightening, a daylight low-level anti-airfield attack. His No.2 was shot down, it's pilot and navigator becoming POW's.









I'll try to take more pics of some other builds tomorrow :)

Hope you like !

The Tonka is one that I need to add to the stash.  The Tornado and Intruder are probably my two favorite bomb beasts and this one is a beauty. Very nice work and I look forward to seeing more.

Very nice to see that Tornado built. I have the same decal set. In fact, I have the decals and models for three aircraft named "Debbie" (Tornado, Jaguar and Bucanneer) in the Gulf War. My wife's name is Debbie, so she didnt mind me too much buying the kits.  :))

It was actually the only option in the "box" ... Its the "take-off" magazine buy bits each week with the magazine kit... Which im reliably informed is in fact a re-boxing of the Italeri kit apparently...

Still a great story with the old mustachioed one :D
