RAF Display Aircraft

These two models are my RAF display aircraft models, made as a presentation for a friend. He doesn't know about it yet though!

The tail design for the Harrier display aircraft is from 20 (R) Sqn at RAF Wittering in 2001. 

Both kits are built OOB, the Jaguar had slats and flaps cut out and lowered, and both had engine intake covers fitted. The tail markings and roundels for the Jaguar are from Xtradecal. 

They were both finished in Humbrol colours, and the overall finish is a satin varnish on both models. 

The tail designs are for the display aircraft, the Harrier is from 20 (R) Sqn at RAF Wittering in 2001, Jaguar from 16 Sqn at RAF Lossiemouth in the 2000 display season.

I'd like to thank Will Snuggs for taking the pics, I'm sure you'll agree that they're legendary, much like the man himself!

Seeing as they are display aircraft I didn't want them loaded out with weapons, so they are only carrying fuel tanks.
