Hi all,
Finally got XX119 finished today, considering its hand painted and straight out the box I think it looks pretty good, hope u all do too. Comments good or bad feel free to leave em. A BIG thank you must go to BIGVERN1966 CANOPENER AL for their help.

Will post more pics of it tonight.
Got the fuselage together and wings are on. The paint schemes brutal… DOes anyone have a colorscheme for it as the directions are very VERY Basic!
Well she’s all done but not proud of the colors… The decals are ancient and exploded when I tried to use them! Ever try putting decals together after they have turned into 1000 tiny bits!?

Hello ContrailJJ
That would be neat but not sure if I have them in the kit will have to check. I am on the lookout for a second wing tank for a 1/24 Toronado though..
Ohhh, ‘Mega-scale’ Tonka – my bad – mis-reading things again (bad bad bad) – but I do have a number of 1/72 Tonka bits…
Cheers,
JJ

tanks for da memories???
Hey bex it made you post a reply didnt it LOL Picked up a 172 harrier and a hellcat today for 50P each! harrier is painted in gaudy colors though.. Yes I still need another wing tank. I thought your tonka was a different scale?
Peter,
Nice green on the Harrier 😉 … 1 pair of 1/72 Harrier tanks… want em? – they were Airfix (the pylons were MPC – US release of Airfix in the 80s). All sanded and tail-fins thinned… just another selection from my big-box-of-little-bits-I-thought-I-might-need-someday.

Peter,
That’s a Wildcat rather than a Hellcat 😉
Nice build Bex. 🙂

Sounds like a good deal Peter. My Tonka is 1/32, its the German Airforce Tigermeet one (I can never spell Luftwotsitsname LoL) Revell Kit
As for your Harrier, youve seen my other halfs Airbus colour schemes, plus when I add my PR7 to the ceiling I will be adding her rainbow coloured A380 to the collection too.

So what if it looks like it was painted with a dust mop noone will know!:diablo:
For a difficult paint job you did an excellent job Bex Congrats!
Peter, its a good job 1. Youre now a Mod & 2. You put the nice compliment or Id have to go for a REALLY sarcastic comment LoL :diablo:
My 1/32 Tigermeet Tornado will be started by the end of the week as I have just the decals on my 1/72 PR7 & a repair job to a friends 1/24 Spit. If I have any spare bits from the Tonka left over, do u still need them?
