Looking good Owl! I expected the Jaguar to be much smaller than a Tornado for some reason.

Both of the planes ate smallerthaan i thought. Neither at too much bigger than a ww2 fighter. I'm pretty sure the jags wring span is smaller than that of the fw190 I'm working on

Can you fly this plane and land it? Surely you can't be serious? I am serious, and don't call me Shirley

So are you adding some weight to the Tornado? I had to do some post-assembly surgery on my Saab JAS39. Took a tip from fermis, drilled a hole in the nosecone large enough to add some lead weight, plugged it with freshly-melted sprue, sand & blend, re-paint.
