I concur, you have done a great job and it looks really smart, thanks for all your effort, i have been waiting for ages to be able to fly the E-3D. When we saw the tail art for the first time we were disappointed but they are the Sqn colours. 103 is now back in normal paint scheme.

Tony, I found this on another forum, it's a funny old world UK E-3Ds are named after the 7 dwarves from Snow White. They have an image of their "Dwarf" on the toilet door next to the rear entry door. www.targetlock.org.uk/sentry/production_uk.htmlJack

Hi, just noticed that the refueling probe is missing off the model. The E-3D is unique in that it can do, both hose and drogue and boom tank, although one did fly around for a while without a probe for a while. The aircraft are named after the seven dwarfs but will have to check which one is which.

yes I know about the probe issue. It appears that the RAF are unique in that as you say it "gives and takes" the probe is not retractable, the model does have the probe retractable to extend it it has to be done with the wingfold key. Re the pictures they are great thanks, I guess the pics are for inside the aircraft not exterior? I have reworked the tail again ..this is a "early picture"
