Covjets13 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Hi all, Well here's my first attempt at uploading to Britmodeller, so here goes... After a lay off from modelling for over a decade, in Arnies famous words..."I'm back"👍 I started this years ago, and so I thought I'd finish some dust covered boxes...so here's Italeri's Tornado. To be frank, it's nearly gone in the bin so many times, it is awful. I enjoyed doing the Airfix Buc more😜 It it has the fab NeOmega cockpit, Brassin GBU-10's and the Master pitot tube. It's painted in a mix of Aeromaster and Vallejo, and the decals are Printscale. http://s1253.photobucket.com/user/Covjets13/media/IMG_0104_zps60gtfkqg.jpg.html][/URL] http://s1253.photobucket.com/user/Covjets13/media/IMG_0105_zps9reiqlak.jpg.html][/URL] http://s1253.photobucket.com/user/Covjets13/media/IMG_0116_zpseykzykrr.jpg.html][/URL] http://s1253.photobucket.com/user/Covjets13/media/IMG_0111_zpsnzucvfzn.jpg.html][/URL] http://s1253.photobucket.com/user/Covjets13/media/IMG_0109_zps3psjfjgs.jpg.html][/URL] http://s1253.photobucket.com/user/Covjets13/media/IMG_0113_zps5kppmhrv.jpg.html][/URL] http://s1253.photobucket.com/user/Covjets13/media/IMG_0107_zpsuee9kszm.jpg.html][/URL] Thanks for looking.

mcdonnell Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Hello,Si - Welcome back to the world of Fine Fettling and the Forum.What a superb comeback too! This 'Tornado' really looks the part and I love the quality and detail of the painting and finishing work.The fact she works hard for her living is well represented here and I think the intake covers look spot on. Great work on a great subject.😉👍 All the best,Paul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackem01 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Silk purse from a Sow's ear I'd say! Love the grubby finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildeSau75 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 I always liked the Tornado in this livery - and you nailed it. Cheers, Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Hello Newbie, Job well done. Well used and heavily weathered. If I am right, the Buccaneer was, at this stage, still needed for guidance of the smart bombs to target. Regards, Orion / The Netherlands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostbase Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Despite nearly hitting the bin it has come out very well indeed, nice weathering as well. Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exdraken Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 (edited) great model! cockpit --> you even corrected the tank fins did not know Tornados could carry GBU-10s though! Edited January 8, 2017 by exdraken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cngaero Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 That's a very nicely done Tornado. It looks suitably dirty and well used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phone Phixer Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Lovely build and a nice finish. I love the intake covers. Wrong LGB's though. Should be British 1,000lb Paveway II not GBU-10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Covjets13 Posted January 8, 2017 Author Share Posted January 8, 2017 I know....but the photo I have, it was loaded with US stores, hence the US RBF tags. Si Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
