thanks for the comments guys,

thanks to cavtanker it is now a Diorama of Ali AL-Salem airbase
after some research i discovered that A-10's were based there along with british tornado gr4's so i might add one of those to the display since the tornado is on my wants list anyway, can anyone recommend a manufacturer that does the best one in 1/72??

the diorama measures 16"X 20" or 40cm X 51cm ish, its bigger than i usually build but i think it looks better because of it, maybe i'll do all of my future builds this size

feel free to use whatever ideas ive given you for your diorama's skydriver, im pleased knowing mine has given you inspiration, im really new to modelling (this is my 2nd dio) so to give people ideas is great and i'd love to see someone put them into one of their builds,

cheers........kwiky

You can get a OIF Tornado or ODS Torndao from Corgi. I really don't know which retailers have them both available right now. You should make a junkyard of destroyed vehicles from ODS, just like the one in Kuwait. Very spooky to see!

thanks, it seems perry's only ship to the US and Canada but no probs i'll either keep looking or do an Operation Iraqi Freedom set up with a more modern Tornado

well its finally finished, it took alot of hours to get it where it is now but it was worth it i think,
