Xtradecal has released a new decal sheet covering three Tornado F.3s from 56(F) Squadron RAF in 1/48 scale.

 

All three aircraft feature red and white chequered fin tips and special markings, with the clearly most striking being the Firebird-marked 2000 airshow scheme. An alternative scheme is offered for one of the subjects.

Details are as follows:

  • ZE287/TO 56(F) Sqn line jet RAF Coningsby 2006;

  • ZG772/WJ 56(F) Sqn RAF Leuchars 2005 Display Jet. 2 versions earlier one with 43(F) Sqn black and white fin top checks.

  • ZE339/AV 56(F) Sqn 2000 Display Jet, RAF Leuchars 2000.

Instructions for the decal sheet are in full colour across one folded double-sided A4 and one double-sided A5 sheet. Both side views plus upper and lower views are provided for all three aircraft.

 

 

A selection of national markings is included.

Colour notes are offered, along with model paint callouts for Xtracolor enamels and Xtracrylix acrylics.

As usual, the decals are beautifully printed and feature thin carrier film.

 

 

A small second sheet is included with half-tone markings.

 

 

This new Xtradecal release will be very welcome for anyone building the Revell (or any other brand really) 1/48 scale Tornado F.3.
