Got to say this is a lovely kit and i would say to any one wanting a Tonka to get this kit, the detail on it is brilliant and you get a huge heap of weapons to load it up with. I finished it as ZA475 Triffid Airways, which i dont think ive ever seen another model of :) i know there is a few bits i could of done better but im really happy with this build :)

Enjoy :)

Well done motley, you have done a grand job, after that build the Airfix Dambuster should be a breeze to build.

Nice job. It looks really mean in that desert scheme.

Thank you for all the nice comments :)

And Merlin looking at all the pictures ive found Triffid only had the shark mouth on one side :)

Glad to see this one finished Motley and a good job you have made too. I agree with you wholeheartedly that the Revell offering in 1/72nd is an excellent kit of this iconic aircraft. I might even open my wallet for another one. But then again, I'd like to do the Tornado in 1/48th, which is really my favourite scale for smaller aircraft.

You wont regret it, theres a few bits that are alittle rough but nothing alittle bit of work cant solve, and ive never seen that boxing before, i want one of that boxing now to do the box art :ha:
