- Hi, I'm Sebastien and I'm a Tornadoholic - Hi Sebastien. This kit is lovely, and now I have two under my belt and a dozen or so to build, I thought I might do a WIP. My point isn't to build the ultimate Tornado. I couldn't, and the one and only General Melchett is doing a brilliant job about it. I'm just here to help average modellers like me to avoid the little troubles you can have building this kit. So I'll accept all pointers, kicks in the butt, subtle and not so subtle hints and bribes Lagavulin pieces of advice you'll throw my way, and be grateful about them. Now, on with the build. I started by more or less following the instructions (yeah, I know, who does that?), and assembled the cockpit to the fuselage bottow and front wheel well : I glued the WSO instrument panel and while the glue was setting, I dry fitted a nose wall to the fuselage. That way, the instrument panel took its intended position without fuss. I scrounged the IPs from a Tornado IDS and the console panels from the GR4 kit: Then it was time to install the air intakes, without gluing the front to the fuselage: Now, the intake ramps. On the left, how they should be for a Tornado sitting on the ground. On the right, how they are in the box. You have to remove the protruding bit. Shaun, thanks for the tip. The intake fronts are assembled and glued to the nose walls. The nose walls are dryfitted to the fuselage: The importance of not gluing the intake block front to the fuselage is there: now, you have some leeway to adjust everything. I don't remember who wrote about that here, and I'm sorry, but whoever you are, thanks a lot. To be continued.
