Off topic briefly; I scored this:
Rick, I'll get a 17 SQN ride done at a later date
Onwards to the Hasegawa Tornado GR1.
Not much to report so far. The start was pretty much getting the interior ready for gull grey spray at the same time as the Italian IDS. I will say however from a kit perspective, the Hasegawa has much, much finer detail and looks to be a good fit. Hasegawa split the forward fuselage vertically and the main fuselage horizontally.
The ejection seat outer parts have been sprayed. The instrument panels are dry fitted in the picture above, for convenience of spraying. Hasegawa kindly provided nice looking
decals for the instruments and screens. The detail on the panels is raised, so we'll see how that works out, otherwise it'll be a hairy brush bonanza.
