I tought I recognised that red devil on the tail from a Stormo.

But I do not think the Italians ever used the SEPCAT (not BAC, shame on you anglophile Airfix!) Jaguar.... so it is WHIFF? Or I have missed some information.

Borg is correct :) the decals are probably from the tornado near the jaguar in the picture , are correct from tornado , 6 stormo "diavoli rossi" (red devils). Did this one about 25 years ago

Definitely a what-if now :)

yeah, the airfix deals were shot in this kit, so I nabbed the tornado sheet and used a scheme from there. The sheet was given to be by a club member after I ruined the original decals for the tornado :oops:

I added a couple different metal shades to the jaguar booty, and attached the arrestor hook
