I think that it was something to do with the British GR5 & 7 versions, which have a different trailing edge to the ventral fin.

Hasegawa did make an EA-3B, as I have one in the stash. It may have been a limited edition, but it is there.

I am currently building an Airfix SH-2F that operated in the Gulf War. The aircraft that I am wanting to make is one that had the M.E.F modifications carried out on it, see photos below. I can see from photos that there were 2 IR Jammers fitted to the tail boom, some chaff dispensers fitted on the Port side behind the cockpit and a FLIR fitted to the front end of the STBD Fwd U/C sponson. I am not botherred about the interior Mods, but would like to know if there are any other external Mods and the sizes of the mounts for the IR Jammers. Any information will be gratefully received.

Especially as I have the updated main rotor blades to make one of these, hopefully an Op Normandy aircraft.

As far as I know German Tornados did not carry BL755 cluster bombs.

No Tornado (British, German, Italian etc)as far as I know carried Durendal.

One thing that Dave did not add is the inside of the ramp area. This model sets it out as it was on the MK2 version of the RAF Chinook not the MK1, in that all the pipe work and things like that are exposed whilst on the MK1 this was all covered over with some cardboard/fibre glass panels. Also the large rectangle that is on the model is the maintenance panel which again was only on the MK2. So basically you have a Mk1 Chinook on the outsdie, with a Mk2 one on the inside. Some photos can be seen here of what I am talking about. Mk1 https://www.britmodeller.c

Are those instructions for a 1/72 kit not a 1/48th one?

Thanks for that suggestion, but we have already been to San Francisco when it was good. We have also been to LA (did not like too big), Seattle and Vancouver, so that is why we are looking at San Diego along with somewhere else.

Thank you all for your input. The main reason that we wanted to go to Davis Monthan is because I had heard of it when I started to get interested in aviation as a child and could not believe that there were so many aircraft packed into the area and how big it must be. My wife got intrigued about this when she to saw some pictures of the area. So we only want to go to this place and now know that there are no tours. When we travel to the USA we usually take in 2 places that are quite close to each other and be got to by air from the UK. We also do not hire a car and rely on public t

Thank you all for the information. As SWMBO and I are travelling from the UK and there are no direct flights to Tucson, we were going to start and end our holiday in a major city in southern California, with a few days in Tucson. We were going to visit the museum at Pima along with doing a bus tour of the boneyard, but as the tour is more than likely dead in the water would it be worth the extra travel and cost to go to Tucson just to go to the museum at Pima?

I am not sure if this is in the right place as I could not find a relevant section about travel. Myself and SWMBO are looking at going to the US next year and one of the places that we are wanting to go to is the bone yard at Davis Monthan. I know that they did bus tours around the yard, from which you can not get off but are still interesting. Whilst looking into this the other day I read somewhere that this tour has now been stopped and is not likely to be restarted. Is this correct or was I reading the information wrongly? If this is correct this is going to put an end to w

Ypu could have a look through these photos:- https://www.dstorm.eu/pages/en/usa/f-16.html

The white on the roundel will be from exhaust staining, also notice the lettering on the tail boom. You get the same effect on RAF pumas, usually heavier down one side than the other due to the way that the rotor rotates.

As far as I know the F-15A/C of the USAF have one big ECM bullet on one of the fins, whilst all original export ones 9not transferred ones) have 2 small bullets on the top of the fins.
