Choppers look nice, but I'm not too familiar with them. (I.E. can't nit-pick)

However--I'm a big Tornado and F-14 fan. They've got a Tornado IDS (bomber) with a Tornado ADV (Fighter) weapons load-out. That's a BIG no-no. That'd be like putting JDAM's and Mavericks on a 1980 F-15A. (I'm BIG on weapons load-out, BTW) (And it looks horrifically yellow---it's a perfect match for SAUDI Tornadoes, but we all know RAF ones were pink) (Yeah, we're not supposed to base color off of bad web pics, but pink vs yellow is obvious)

F-14: it just doesn't look right. From that angle, it shouldn't look like that. Gear, nose, wing-gloves look off. (And *eight* Sparrows?)

The Tornado colour used in Saudi in 1991 is one of those colours that is very dificult to really describe, I used to call it hemp, from the picture this doesn't look far off at all. One thing about the colour was that it used to fade terribly and by the end of the campaign most of them looked dreadfully washed out and weathered. The weapon load is a big error though, the only missile in use by the RAF that these look like are the Skyflash AAM which were never carried by the GR1/4, a nice load of ALARM missiles or a JP233 would be nice,
