Comprehensive internal and external walkaround coverage

• cockpit
• Martin Baker ejection seat
• main and side console details
• canopy mirror arrangement
• In-flight refuelling probe extended to see detail
• undercarriage units
• ventral airbrake and how this differs to GR-9
• unique in-flight images and stores loadout

A fantastic set to help you complete any of the wide range of kits available in all the major scales.

Our thanks to Es George for his kind assistance in supplying most of the images used in this PRL set – thanks Es.
My apologies for the poor quality of some of these images, I have enhanced them as best I can, but they should all provide useful reference nonetheless. You should also check out the high quality reference images for the GR-9 also available in your PRL as the airframes of these two aircraft are very similar, but not identical. Best wishes, Geoff
