InFlames 918 Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Hi everyone! Here's my latest finished model - well known Revell 1:72 Tornado, built as a Germany Navy bird. Click on the photo for more photos and information. 16 Link to post Share on other sites

redcap 618 Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Very nicely presented. Gary Link to post Share on other sites
upnorth 841 Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Very cool work and one of the best looks for the Tornado as far as I'm concerned. I like your display stand, but the effect of the frame reminds me of a swimming pool. I can almost visualize a bunch of freaked out 1/72 swimmers in there as the Tornado comes over.

Catbird 92 Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Nicely done. A scheme not often seen and youve done it proud. One of my fave Tornado schemes. Link to post Share on other sites
InFlames 918 Posted August 24, 2014 Author Share Posted August 24, 2014 Thanks guys! batcode - there's 12 photos posted on my site - ain't that enough? upnorth - yeah, I am aware of the framing confining the waters, but as this is now an office ornament, it was the easiest and most stable way to do it Link to post Share on other sites

Snitok1983 1,617 Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 As I have told previously that is amazing!Well done Sebastian! P.S. Why the Tornados calls Tonka? Link to post Share on other sites
Troffa 843 Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 The Tornado's soubriquet "Tonka" refers to the American Toy Truck company- popular in the UK when I was a lad in the early '70's. Depending who you talk to, it refers to either the Tornado's tough, indestructible construction (Tough, tough toys for tough, tough boys etc.) or their insipid toy-like nature (Ditto) compared to the more robust types they replaced. (Phantom, Lightning, Buccaneer etc.) http://www.duncanstoychest.co.uk/tonka-classic-dump-truck-toy 1 Link to post Share on other sites

eng 1,398 Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Very nice indeed, this is a lovely scheme. Like the vid clip at the bottom of your page with the additional pics, some really nice low passes, just the way the Tornado should be - fast and low! Eng Link to post Share on other sites
