Bobski Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 What scale? In 1/72 you can find the FLIR in the Olimp resin weapons set or from Freightdog. In 1/48 you can get it in the Flightpath detailing set or the Olimp resin weapons set. I think there's another standalone set but I can't remember what it is called.

Colin @ Freightdog Models Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Hello, I do a 1/72 conversion for the GR.4 or GR.4A in my freightdog resin range. I am out of stock but will have more next week, or you can order from hannants (they will have them in stock by monday); I also do Brimstone and TIALD pods for the GR.4 seperately, these will also be available at hannants or from my website next week. Thanks Colin www.freightdogmodels.co.uk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catbird Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 I strongly recommend the Freightdog Tornado items. Have got some of their other bits too and they are top notch. Nicely moulded. Good service aswell from Colin. No affiliation with the company just a happy customer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin @ Freightdog Models Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 I should have a GR.4 Raptor pod out in the next two weeks, a few other projects underway but been slowed down trying to supply hannants their first trade order, which is listed today.

PhantomBigStu Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Sorry for the thread highjack but is a related question, I know GR4's are now painted overall medium sea gray but what colours are the wing tanks? Also Colin I have a future product suggestion for freightdogmodels that could be a good seller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin @ Freightdog Models Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Also Colin I have a future product suggestion for freightdogmodels that could be a good seller PM me your suggestion Stu, the competition might be looking! I always enjoy the suggestions threads for other manufacturers, always give me some good ideas! Colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catbird Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 The wing tanks could medium sea grey, or they could be grey/green camo. If they are from an F3 they could be medium or Barley grey. Basically any tanks from any of the Tornado colourschemes could be carried on any Tornado regardless of its current colours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Fleming Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 thanks that's answered my question another ones popped up though, is there a reason it can carry 4 1000lb iron bombs but only 2 paveway's? pm sent It can actually carry 8 1000lbers (or at leats the GR1 could) on twin stores pylons, but it's the length of the lGB that means you can only fit one per pylon.

Catbird Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Regarding Stormshadows. Im planning on fitting the pair in the Revell 1/72 Typhoon on the Revell Tornado. Do they fit straight on the under fuselage pylons or is there a launch adaptor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AirfixAndy Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Looks like its straight onto the pylon....... http://tornadosig.weebly.com/storm-shadow.html First photo shows the MACE plugs on the missile. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrovian Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 (edited) Looks like its straight onto the pylon....... http://tornadosig.weebly.com/storm-shadow.html First photo shows the MACE plugs on the missile. Andy The Tornado requires the TAIK (Tornado Adaptor Interface Kit) to be fitted to the Missile as shown in the 1st picture. This areodynamic fairing allows MACE (Minimum Area Crutchless Ejector) Lugs to be fitted for Tornado rather than Bale lugs, Edited September 7, 2013 by Barrovian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
