Guys i wasnt arguing Although it would be sad to see them go i understand why. I did a bit more digging and the Radiation leak was in the old bomb dump and USAF 'officially' are ment to clean it up or safe guard it for 99 years as for the UK economy, i recently had a tour of the ex RAF Alconbury site, which the USAF turnered over some 10 - 15 years ago, its now a thriving industrial site and the old, F4 and U2 hangers are now industrial units my only worry for you guys would be the same as happened to the RAF once your bring them home they arnt needed anymore, so will get disbanded

i didnt think the UK government were allowing them to leave, after the Radiation leak they had in one of the bunkers a few years ago, im sure i read somwhere the the USAF were responsible for it for x amount of years

Well at last shes done, built out of the box except for the 41sqn Markings which came for a xtradecal sheet. To convert her to a FAW8 you need to remove 6 scale inches from behind the radome, i did this but, i dont think it was worth it as i dont think anybody would be able to tell the difference, with or without. The kit was a dream to build and almost fell together, i use the smallest of amount of filler, but this was needed because i cut the sprue s too close all in all a really enjoyable build
