1/72 "Black Panther" Tornado


Recommended Posts

Here is my finished Revell Luftwaffe Tornado of Reconnaissance squadron 51 in its "Black Panther" scheme worn to the 2011 Tiger Meet.

built out of the box other than the crew from my spares box and the stand, this is a great kit anyway with plenty of detail and minimal work needed to make it al fit together. Painted in Tamiya paints, the silver tiger stripes should have been a bit darker, but I'm not too worried as they stand out .

I was a bit nervous with the decals as ive had some issues with revell in the past, but the colour is great and they are nice and thick. The decal sheet needs some studying before tacking them and it was fun figuring out the best order to build and paint this.

 

It really stands out on the shelf and I may have to collect all the special scheme tornados:D

Some prior to the stores being added.

The only issue with this is you loose the movable pylons as they are added after the decals. Not so much of an issue as it was being displayed in flight at 67degrees so they are glued in place now..

Thanks guys!

The germans do a great job for tigermeet aircraft, I loved the cybertiger typhoon from a few years back. This one really stands out against the greys and camo of the rest of my collection! 

Would have been nice to see this one flying.
