Nice job, and impressive finish. The open radome and the radar build are outstanding! Congratulations

Great model with very accurate colours. The build/paint is amazing, and the subtle weathering gives to plane a realistic look. Congratulations!

Amazing build & paint. The weathering is superb . I think is one of the bests Lancasters than i ever seen (and i have see lots of them!) Congratulations and thanks for share! Your son is a master modeller!

Thank you very much for your reply. Is very kind of you.

Two or three pylons under the belly?

Thak you very much Spike7451! You are a authority in the tornado knowledge!

I have lots of weapons for a Tornado GR1 (a Granby Tornado): free fall bombs, laser guided bombs, alarm missiles, sidewinder missiles, and a TIALD pod. I have no idea of the possible combinations and pylons possitions of this mighty weaponery (sorry, but i'm an absolut ignorant!). I pray for a Tonka expert that can help me For example, i don't know if a configuration with the TIALD and two laser guided bombs is possible, or a mix with alarms missiles and bombs... finally I HAVE NOT IDEA!!! The unit i´m building is the ZD739 AC (ARMOURED CHARMER), and i know is TIALD capable. That's all.

If you want to see the 1/72nd scale Hasegawa's kit finished, with no extras, you can click on my "Jaguar Mary Rose" in "Ready for inspection" section.

Congratulations for this outstanding work! I'm now building a 1/72nd scale tornado, but i think you have the best finish of this plane so far! I take your work as my reference. Thanks for sharing!

Some progress: Undercarriage detail and paint: Undercarriage well: Now i´m working in the thrust reverse mechanism. The kit has a simplified version: and i want to represent a convincing one, with the help of the photoetched parts from flightpath. The goal is to obtain something like that: I hope i can do it! see you soon!

Hasegawa + aires cockpit + flightpath set = best jaguar in 1/72nd scale

Thank you so much. Grateful for your kindness.

Sorry, but can you gimme the equivalent reference of this "biscuit" colour in Humbrol or FS, if is not too much trouble for you? Thank you very much, and sorry for disturb you.

Outstanding work! C O N G R A T U L A T I O N S ! ! ! You are the modelling MASTER!

Very nice one! I love to watch this mighty plane. Is an absolutely perfect work: the build, the painting and the weathering are outstanding. Is a good idea to make this plane with the wings foiled, it gives a more dynamic look to the model. Congratulations!

Top work, with amazing results! I love the weathered surface, is really awesome. A question: Have you used oil paints for this special processing? Regards. TRUSKY1965.

Thank you so much for the link, is a big help! I don't know in detail the different colors for the british tornados, but i see there are lots of experts in the forum. Is a pleasure to verify that this beautiful plane has so much fans. Regards. TRUSKY1965.

Ok! I note this: Barley Grey is the color. Thank you!

Thank you very much for the information!

Not a bad idea! I just can imagine my wife's face when she find a jaguar in the garden!

It's a really beauty. I love the camouflage scheme and the nose detail. A very nice picture of the GR1, you hold the real shape of it!

Can anyone tell me what is the color of the 2250 lt tanks of a tornado in the Granby Operation? I have some photos and i think is medium sea gray, but i'm not sure. Thank you very much.

Ok! I'll follow your post! It will be a pleasure for me!

Outstanding work General! I think is one of the most original plane in the forum. Is a kind of "missile" with a pilot in! A very, very special kit, which can take a preferential place in any display cabinet. Congratulations for the results! The model has a great finish, and i love the decals! Regards. TRUSKY1965.

thank you very much for the compliments... Er... I think your cat is eating one of your models!
