Tornado Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 (edited) Start by saying, sorry as I thought id posted this on here alresdy. So I just copied n pasted from the Tonka SIG forum. .... Hi all. Having a break from the Tigermeet build. Thinking of a project to do and came across a photo..... then hit me. The first time I saw a tonka and upclose was at a museum. ..... so after seeing this pic I thought sod it im going for it... access panels open the lot.. thete will be a fair few scratch built parts needed and this will also be a first. .... I dont intend on 100% accuracy so dont shout at me if you think its wrong lol.. I would appreciate your guys help with any ref pics or tips on scratching intrrnals. Thanks in advance for your input ---------' So cracked on a little last night, just remember my goal isn't accuracy, it's purely to add virtual detail. ---------- Only couple hours tonight, opened up a few more panels and a bit of scratch done Cheers Mark Edited December 16, 2013 by Tornado 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pickles1343 Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Looking good so far mate. In the panels down the side under the tail the taileron actuators and hydraulic power pack are shoe horned in. I dont have any pictures but they were big heavy white lumps!!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tornado Posted December 16, 2013 Author Share Posted December 16, 2013 (edited) You're planning to do the same in 1/144, aren't you?!?The thought had crossed my mind........ LolCheers guys appreciated Another couple of hours opening up the "engine bay"? And scratching an engine, absolutely no accuracy here whatsoever built out of what I had and no references.... Apologies to the accuracy guys Mark Edited December 16, 2013 by Tornado 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neal Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 You're planning to do the same in 1/144, aren't you?!? You've rumbled me; I've an incomplete Revell 144 Tornado that I'd always thought I'd use to make something like this rather sad picture: http://www.airliners.net/photo/UK---Air/Panavia-Tornado-GR1/1628061/&sid=765df730845ef55374da197324e867a1 But Mark's idea for the museum peice is much cheerier. Mark, Keep up the good work, don't worry about inaccuracies, it's got the right "feel" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
