Those really are fantastic. Might I suggest it would be worth a post up on a modellers forum such as Britmodeller as they would be a great reference.

Thanks for sharing

I remember a GR4 with the nose art of Garfield with a bucket and spade (saw it at Leuchars Airshow a year after Gulf war 1)

Gulf War 1 nose art was well publicised but have Gulf 2 was not. The only 2 I have seen before were "Scud Hunter" and "We are One". Thanks for posting.

Hi Mate :P

Brilliant shots which have brightened up my afternoon no end, as it is chucking it down in Sprowston right now :lol:

Never seen this 'nose art' before :O

Best regards
