Hi Rawfodog,

The wings would move as there is a cross linkage provided in the kit, but I chose not to use this and glued the wings in the forward position. The wing movement mechanism seemed a bit sloppy, so it thought it was best to glue it in place.
Also, the landing gear is either glued in place, or not.

I believe this particular aircraft is from 111 squadron at RAF Leuchars. The colour scheme is from 2002 when it was their 85th (?) aniversary. A picture of this very aircraft is actually on the RAF website here http://www.raf.mod.uk/downloads/wall...f3_03_0800.jpg

But, don't look to hard at the real thing (it makes my model look naff!! lol).
I've got some better pics of the real aircraft which I will upload to the gallery.

The model in 1:72 measures 251mm long and 193mm wingspan.

Cheers,
Dave
