  1. There were a few C-141Bs that were in natural metal. These aircraft that was pressed into service straight after a major overhaul to serve as part of Op Desert Storm such was the requirement for air lift aircraft. They had no unit markings and some photos of them are at www.dstorm.eu.
  2. You would be better off getting the revel GR4 kit and deleting the applicable GR4 equipment to make a GR1. The GR4 also comes with more appropriate RAF weapons pylons than the IDS version. This I the way that I am going to go when I get around to making an Op Granby Tornado GR1.
  3. A big thank you to Dave as the decal sheet that he sent me arrived today.
  4. Thanks for that. The reason that I ask is that I ordered a sheet of these decals many moons ago when the idea for them was first put about. I got a message from Dave saying that they were being printed several months ago, but I have heard nothing since, especially after seeing this post. I have tried contacting Dave through e-mail and PMing him, but to no avail. I do also understand that Dave does all the work for the company himself, but a message would not hurt.
  5. ZG479/69 was the first of the Harriers that were deployed to Ahmed Al Jaber in Op Telic (OIF) to have a sharkmouth applied, and as you say in this case a smaller red/white only one. The Harriers that had the fuller (red/black/white) sharkmouth during this deployment were ZD408/37 and ZG859/91.
  6. The one on the Italeri kit and Model alliance (The Aviation Workshop) decal sheet is from an aircraft that was on OP Warden in the 90s and was only for a photo shoot. The other sharkmouths are from aircraft on OP Telic (OIF) in 2003. The Italeri kit has the wrong Ser No, whilst the Model Alliance sheet is correct.
  7. The aircrafts Ser No was ZD408/WK and it was applied for a one off photo shoot during OP Warden. There is a line drawing in the Crowood book on the Harrier on page 156, a photo in World Air Power Issue No 22 on page 6. The Aviation Workshop (Now defunct) made a decal for the GR7 Harrier with this scheme on, it being MA-72102 in 1/72 or MA-48102 in 1/48. Hope that this is of some help.
  8. I would also get one, as I would have preferred this scale to the 48th one already ordered.
  9. Does Jordan operate Hawks?
  10. That was the RAF St Athan Station Flight and a decal sheet in the 3 major scales has been done by Euro Decals.
  11. They also did a sheet in 1/72.
  12. I am too hoping that an Iraqi aircraft can be built with this kit.
  13. The first Tomcats that I saw were at Greenham Common in 1976 from VF-142 and 143, so those markings would be fine. Some line aircraft from VF-32 in D storm would also be good rather than the flashy tail marked ones. How about aircraft from VF-124 and 101 as they were rather bright in their earlier days. But please nothing from VF-84.
  14. Does that include the Bi-centennial one?
  15. Got mine yesterday and very good they look too. One added bonus that I did not know is that one of the names on the nose U/C door is a former work colleague of mine.
  16. Have a good time in Prague, it is brill, but do not miss out on the model shops there.
  17. Ordered the sheet that I want last night, and again thanks.
  18. Could not agree more, to be honest I am fed up of seeing those skull and bones on the first issue of a new Tomcat by a model company.
  19. Thank you for the Pa ANG Hercs. Over 30 years I have had a update set for these aircraft and 24 years waiting for decals for these aircraft to come out. Just a little while longer to wait.
  20. I have seen it at the UK nationals and yes it is very good, but also pricey.
