Doing this one as a 17f Sqn mount.... http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2010/260/f/0/tornado_gr1_17_sqn_75th_anv_by_gazzatrek-d2ywvgz.jpg Some photo's so far......I've used the kit decals to enhance the IP & I think it's came out OK,Fit is generally good & not much filler should be used,apart from round the mahoooosive gaps by the intakes!!! Also some shots of the Revell BOZ pod,showing the bad rear face & some size comparason shots next to Dave' excellent works,the drops are again the kit tnks shown next to Daves Big Jugs...

Which is exactly the same as with the RAF,hence why I only put weapons on any of my kits unless I'm doing a jet like seen on Telic/Herrick ect....

Well you were at at a second class RAFG station,not the premier one,BRUGGEN...

You could use some old photographic negative cut to shape & stick that on the sides with PVA glue.

That's if you could prize any outta the sqn stackers! lol

And you'll need to fix the hash job they made of the BOZ pod.....Cannot understand how they got that wrong when they got it right in the 1/32 one...

The's no rule as to what tags to use with what pin,basically you get & use what you can from the local squadron stores. They're normally plastic covered cloth when they are new but the plastic tends to get ripped off or melted over time,so you're left with a dirty cloth streamer....

This is the one ; http://modelingmadness.com/review/mod/dixonfg1preview.htm

The one I've got does have white metal & rubber tyres,...And having built the Revell & Hasagawa FGR versions,they are 99% identical to each other in every way...

No they're the wrong marks.

http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234961241-revell-148-tornado-first-look/ Oh,and the BOZ pod depicts an unladed pod but the rear face is wrong,see my post in the above thread on page#4

It's getting there slowly,I'm finding some of the fits have quite large gaps,like the fit between the main gear bay & the bottom of the intake trunking,that forms the end walls of the bays. As for cockpit colors,it's a mish mash of grays,especially the GR4,where panels have been replaced with upgrades,the cockpit floor is green on the GR1 but black on the GR4.... Using the web feature below,the color comes back as Revell Stone Gray or Humbrol Dark Camoflage Gray http://scalemodeldb.com/paint

Working on the kit today,Revell have got the rear of the BOZ pod wrong.In the instructions they have you fitting the rear face on the BOZ in a recess about 5mm back from the rear face.Now this would be correct on a BOZ pod that has no flare cartridge fitted,but then you would have to modify the rear face...See pics; Without flare cartridge fitted; With flare cartridge fitted; EDIT; On closer examination,that is what they have done.They've modeled a BOZ pod without the flare cartridge fited.

Skyshadow pods in there...

Tornado F3....I on em!..................

Depends on how good you are with a scalpel & bit of gash sprue....

I'm afraid I agree with Selwyn,the GR1 & GR4 are different to the IDS, For example,you say Well if that's the case then why did we go down the MACE suspension route for the weapon pylons & not use the same as the other nations,as well as use different countermeasure system (Skyshadow) instead of using the same as the other nations,a system that has been in use for years...

As been answered BEFORE in this thread.....YES! Wish people would read a thread before asking the same questions over & over again!

That's probably right,Royal Mail prices for packages are extortionate...It cost me £18 to send a packet over to England a few weeks ago,They price the packages by size or weight now

I paid £22 ish inc postage from Wonderland models,basically all the bits are there for the GR apart from the decals.LRMTS & MACE fairings.

Many thanks for the reply Dave...Could you also do the MACE fairings for the shoulder pylons, as these are missing from the kit, if these are not in any RAF boxing...and maybe the TARDIS cockpit update for the GR4...

Also just noticed,whilst you can drop the flaps/slats,open the speed brakes & deploy the thrust reverser's,the is no option to pose the In-Flight Refueling Probe in the deployed position..

Both pods (LRMTS & FLIR) are in the kit Phil,all you'll need is to scratch build the lens glass.TERMA's only really just came in since Afghan & you can get them from the link below. (And bloody good they are too!...I got 3 of them!) http://www.larsenal.com/catalogue/index.php?id_page=6&id_article=1646&ars8213112107=ars8213112107
