SoftScience Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 A fellow at my local hobby shop convinced me that it would be easy to backdate the Revell Tornado GR.4 kit, into a Desert Storm Gr.1. I purchased the kit, but am admittedly flummoxed about a backdate, as I know NIL about the Tornado. Can you kind people provide some advice?

PhantomBigStu Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 (edited) The cockpit is slightly different, as is the arrangement of external aerials, but only major difference is the additional chin pod, only the starboard one on the gr1 Edited May 1, 2016 by PhantomBigStu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzz Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 The Revell Gr4 kit provides you with two different spines for the top of the fuselage behind the cockpit, make sure you use the one without the small round disc (GPS antenna). The Gr1 also has both cannons fitted whereas the Gr4 only has the starboard one, the bits should be in the kit to allow you to fit both.

There is quite a visible differences in the the cockpits GR 4 Tornado Advanced Radar Display and Information System (TARDIS) Active Matrix Liquid Crystal Display (AMLCD) TV Tabs Pilot's Multi Function Display (PMFD) GR 1 Combined Radar and Projected Map Display (CRPMD) (CRT) TV Tabs Repeater Projected Map Display (RPMD) If you do a search on t'interweb you should see the cockpit differences.

Max Headroom Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Doesn't the GR.1 also have a cannon on both sides of the nose? Trevor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
