Thanks everyone...

Until now this production method works very well. All three Tonkas have reached this morning the same production level and are ready for some paint now. I will start with the Wheelbays, because I need to put some masking tape on the bays. Regarding Decals: 1.) 46+35 -->Mini Print MPD72021, bought at Hannants But like you can see I need to have a look where I can get all the rest of the needed Decals from, as the Sheet does not provide a lot... 2.) 46+45 --> original Revell Decals 3.) 46+48 --> Decals from Mark 1 Guide The last Sheet will be the resource for at least another Tonka I have in queue --> 45+03, but it is not in the production line...

Hello Everyone, I started to read in this Forum a while ago, so I thought it is time to share my Aircrafts with you. Here is the first one, finished today. I should have started the build a bit later for the Tornado Group Build Yes I know, I am not the best builder, but I like it a lot and hope to improve my skills with every aircraft I build. So here are the pictures...

And again me... Made some progress and here are the pictures. I used the decals this time for the cockpit. It is not silvering, it was just a bit wet... A look from the rear. Glued the Cockpit together... Assembled. Needs now some filler and than sanding and paint I guess...

Morning Everyone, the next step has been made. I was able to paint all Ejection Seats earlier today. Here is the result:

Hello Everyone, earlier this morning I made some progress, I guess it was something like 4:30AM. I was able to produce the Jet-Intakes and painted everything in a light grey. Sorry for the picture, it was made with the i-Phone. And of course, this has been made for all three Tonkas. Now the "funny" part starts, painting the Cockpit and the Seats... Ah, the inside of the cockpit has been painted, too.

Thanks Steve, but that was almost everything of the easy parts. A little bit of the Jetintakes and than painting starts. Starting with the Cockpit, which will take the longest I guess. After that everything that needs some light grey colors, like wheelbays and rims. So I have some kind of a plan. Hope to post some news next weekend, maybe during the week if I find some spare time. And sorry for my english. In case it is hard to understand, that's maybe because I am not a native speaker... :-)

OK, here is the first Picture of my WIP. Like you can see, actually I will build 3 Tonkas at the same time. Focus will be still on 46+35, the other two Jets will be 46+45 from 1996 and 46+48 from 1999. For everyone who knows those Jets, YES all of them as Tigerjets. All Kits will be build out of the Revell Kit 04617, so it is very easy to build the Mainframe of all three Jets. Painting will be a different story for me.

That's a nice one, it is on my workbench, too. All it needs is the Paint Scheme on it, some Wheels and the Decals... Have fun to build that nice Tonka!!!

It will be in 1/72, my favorite Scale for the Tornado. It will fit into my collection of Tonkas.

Hello Everyone from Germany, I want to join your Group Build if that is ok for you guys. The Tonka that I want to build would be 46+35, build OOB from a Revell Kit and I will use the Decals from MPM Decals. 321 Tigers
