Buongiorno to Everybody Today few details more to go on....... And now finished! You can see more pics in "Ready for Inspection" on this forum at this link: http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234972875-italian-tornado-ecr-revell-132/ Thank you everybody to following me until here, was long trip :-) Soon The Saudi Tornado will appear here....just little break to take breath ;-)

I hope Saudi Tornado can start during Christmas holidays..... ;-) Actually I am going on with this Italian Tornado. Some small esthetic details on the elevator, the inlet board appear nude metal on the Italian actual airplane flying, so I replicate by a metallic pigments from Ushi van der Rosten website. Easy and fast to apply that. Instead about the heavy weathering of the 50-05 subject (that's why I choose her) I try to make signs of technician's shoes. I use a couple of dark grey pencils. By this gum I can attenuate the contrast of pencil signs See you soon

I like to say a public THANK YOU to MR Shan a member of this forum from Singapore that make me very happy donating this decal sheet for the Saudi Tornado....so thank you again Shan you are a real Gentlemen. Now I can proceed also with Saudi tornado.

Hi friends :-) thank you for your comments I am doing oil washing as usual, nothing special, but.....means the end is closer!! Take a look Bye for now!

Ciao everybody ! Thank you for nice ccomments. After a short "fight" with TauroModels decals for stencils the step is over. Unfortunately decals are a bit over dimension and too much darker than real color on the Italian Tornados, so I decided to "kill" the contrast by a very light coat of base grey....and let's check de difference ;-) On the left side the elevator treated, on the right elevator as came after decal application. I like the result and applied to whole model so I get the correct general effect of weathered plane. After that I apply much dirty spot and flow dirty lines everywhere before the oil washing. Check if you like . See you soon.... Ciao

Hi gentlemen Actual progress......I am painting small details on the surfaces.... See you soon

Hi gentlemen, The grey is done! I spry 11 shadows of grey on to this model to replicate the basic weathering before washing. Now I can proceed by paint all small details on the surfaces (antennas, panels etc.etc..) Take a look of result until now. Bye

Painting job is on going, very long and delicate mixing of different grey color (until now I apply 9 different grey shadows on the upper surfaces. I exceeded with dirty area from the engine reverse system. Here the differences between the original and my model.
