DutyCat Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 (edited) Got a Hase Tornado and have thought about doing a Saudi version of it as they are so colorful. I have a Saudi F-15 sheet I can use the decals from, so I am sitting pretty good. But I was wondering if there is a specific RSAF Tornado decal sheet available.

ChernayaAkula Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Hi-Decal Line's 72-001 Tornado sheet includes a Saudi Tornado. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DutyCat Posted June 2, 2008 Author Share Posted June 2, 2008 Is that sheet available anywhere? 1/72 listings start with 72-002 on the ARC link. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JeskiM Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 dang it. Sorry about that last reply with the brackets around the dot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cloggy Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 There was a 1/72 Revell boxing of the old moulding with Saudi markings which is available occasionally on the 2nd hand market or through ebay. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jennings Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 One of the older Hasegawa boxings had RSAF markings as well. I'd send it to you, but mine got mildew damage in a wet basement some years ago J Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DutyCat Posted June 2, 2008 Author Share Posted June 2, 2008 Thanks for looking guys, but that is too much coin. Including shipping, 18.40 Euros? Thats $28.60. I need a domestic supplier that will charge me like $15 max. I think I'll stick with my F-15 decals! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ruud Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Hoi DC IIRC the F-15 RSAF decals use a lighter green on the roundels than the IDS Tornados use. Also their F-15's have the RSAF title in green and the IDS Tornados have them in black. later Ruud Quote Link to post Share on other sites

However, if I do it with the F-15 decals, I'll just "what if" pretend otherwise! Better than not doing it all. I ain't payin' no thirty clams for a 1/72 sheet! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MoFo Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 The all-up price will be a lot more reasonable buying straight from Diego. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
farmerboy Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 look for carpena decals "Gulf war 2" I believe, either 1 or 2 had a saudi tornado, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bobski Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 I'm looking to do something similar on a 1/48 Tornado, although I'm going to get round a lack of Saudi markings by doing one of the TSP jets from Warton - they have RAF roundels and temporary UK serial numbers, plus I've seen a couple of cool loadouts on them recently: The first was a clean wings (ie pylons but no tanks, pods or missiles) and a pair of Mk.84 2,000lb bombs under the fuselage. The second had a TIALD pod and 2 Paveway II (UK) bombs under the fuselage, 2 AIM-9Ls and 2 ALARMs under the wings along with the smaller drop tanks and the usual pods etc. Very cool.

Julien (UK) Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 In the UK the standard kit makring included a Saudi option. Julien Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bobski Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Pics please! The 2x Mk.84s loadout was in Air Forces Monthly a couple of months back. The other loadout I saw in the hangar at Warton so I wasn't able to get a picture, sorry. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Julien (UK) Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 Hannants have a carpena decal sheet which has Saudi Markings on it; http://www.hannants.co.uk/search/?FULL=CA72037 Julien Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ReiRei0 Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 If you can't get it anywhere else, let me know and I *think* I might have the Saudi markings from the Carpena sheet in a drawer somewhere. If I do, and you want them, they're yours - I won't charge you anything. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jenshb Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 If you can wait a couple of months, I'll dig out a Tornado kit in the stash at my parents place in Norway - I should have some useable Saudi Tornado decals there, though they may have slightly yellowed. If you want them, they're yours. Jens Quote Link to post Share on other sites
