Hi Buddy,try finding Airfix`s Tornado kit,a friend of mine used these to model the "black buck" bombing mission in the Falklands Conflict,they looked right to me.Also ,if my memory serves me correctly,Airfix also produced a type of aftermarket weapons set complete with a sheet of photo-etch but you might have to try E-Bay to get this as it was some years ago.

hi thanks for the reply. whilst searching what was said i come across this link (below) some of you will probably know the company but having really just started building the model planes again, about a 15 year break from when i was about 10 i guess. Any way, i contacted the company and they are able to supply different types of bombs at 50p each. So will be able to complete my dirama once i have built the other v-bombers. Its the little things lol
