1/32 - MRCA Tornado by Italeri - GR.4, ECR & IDS released
Muzz replied to Homebee's topic in The Rumourmonger
The tail planes or ‘tailerons’ bring back memories of the Hobby Boss 1/48 version and the part breakdown very similar to the 1/48 Revell kit. -
I’ve seen a few comments about the old boxing having fit issues and people asking if this is a completely new tool, I’m assuming it’s the original tooling with new weapons.

Think Eduard announced it had sold out due to pre orders from distributors before it was released.

Noticed an error in decal option H, ZD892 “Helen” the tail code ‘H’ should be black not white and applied further forward and down the tail fin. The colour and position for Her shown was on GR1A, ZA373 during the conflict.

My kit arrived today, going straight to the top of the build pile! A couple of nice surprises are that it has the parts for the GR4 which will come in handy for IDS boxing in the stash and both external tank fits are included so no need to be on the hunt for the big jugs. GR4 parts maybe suggest another boxing on the cards?!

I think MRP 91 and 92 are the colours your looking for if it’s the standard Mig-29 green/grey camo.

Yes but bought from him before, always has a few decent bargains, this kit was too good to pass up. Just finishing a Mig-21 and Su-22 UM and then I'll be starting, a couple of weeks probably.

I've recently bought this kit too Andy, also for a great price, same vendor I'd imagine. I've bought the CWS studio corrected nose for it but cant decide how to go about it. Are you building straight OOB?

There is a set on the horizon apparently.......... https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235063049-gulf-war-tornado-weapon-loads/&tab=comments#comment-3489154

I hope the image with the side profiles is distorted and shortened in some way, or not representative of what the kits going to look like as the front fuselage and intakes look horrific. *Edit. Just noticed the front of the nose is hinged down in the open position for some bizarre reason so not as horrific as first thought, intakes still look a bit too short and fat though.

Nice to see some different schemes but I dont suppose there will be the relevant stencil data for each!
-
Think the rear part of it is fuel and the front part is baggage pod.

Did they not start flying again a couple of days ago, or at least the grounding was lifted on Monday? -

Very nice work. Is this the Hobby Boss kit or Kitty Hawk, can’t see it mentioned anywhere? -
This link has some good info and photos further down the page.......... https://www.key.aero/forum/modern-military-aviation/118479-su-34-black-out-curtains

Nice, I’ll being looking out for a set when there released (pardon the pun!). Muzz

Thanks for all the comments and likes. Nearly finished, all the building is basically complete just need to add bits to the fuselage. Prop assembly. Main undercarriage.
-
Ah thanks very much for the info.
-
You wont regret buying it, ask them for another decal sheet for me while you’re there! I’m thinking I’ll be buying another if/when they release an RAF boxing! Thanks for the kind comments.

Getting the decals on now, not without some issues, large stars and bars under the wing came off the backing almost as soon as it hit the water, part of it folded over on itself and stuck fast, similar problem with the ace of spades card on the side of the fuselage, it went on then refused to move, when it finally moved it folded up and was ruined. Will need to get in touch with Eduard and see if they'll send out replacements. Rest of the decals have went on fine and settled well with Daco setting solution.

Well pretty impressed with the kit, lots of lovely detail. Initial study of it reveals what appear to be out of register decals (Stars & Bars insignia for the Bounty Hunters scheme), cant work out if there supposed to be that way as rest of the decals seem fine! My kit also has some strange rough plastic on the upper fuselage immediately behind where the canopy would be, will need to be sanded. Colour call outs for the different schemes are a pain for me, trying to compare similar shades of grey to work out what colour refers to what. Was also very surprised at how small the box is after all the calls about "it's a big kit so p&p is costing more". Box is literally the size of a standard shoebox.

In case the bright colours were getting too much for everyone........

Finally another update, yellow paint on (Mr Hobby Color H329) and a Xtreme Metals Pale Burnt Metal around the exhaust area.

The parcel tracker kicked back in to life yesterday about the same time I posted on the thread about it, spooky! Looks like I'll have the kit in my hands tomorrow!
