    This is the Airfix kit which I finished around the same time as the Atlas. Again I made some minor mods to the kit which included: reshaping the engine nacelle vortex generators, reshaping and repositioning the wing HF antenna mounts and updating the antenna fit to that approximating a 2005 in service aircraft. Finally I used kit decals supplemented by a 26 Decals sheet for the anniversary tail art.

    Really happy to have this in the RAF100 section Ray - another absolute beauty. The 8 Squadron link is just perfect. Given that this 'flying control centre' and its successors are due to stay in service into the 2030's and possibly beyond, and that it has been in action in Syria most recently, it is the perfect addition. These two builds are of such high quality, Ray. The more you look the more that quality shines through. Thank you so much!
