Stephen Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 I spoke to one of the guys at the Telford stand and the belly pylons are the same as the Luftwaffe kit so they'll need replacing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thepureness Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Kit is available now. Check eBay several sellers now have it alone with the rest of November's new releases Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breaker Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 I guess I'll just have to buy one to find out the other scheme! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
At Sea Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Got an email today to say my order is dispatched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
At Sea Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 It has arrived! 2 schemes, one operational one ZD714 of 617 squadron, all stencils and good walkways etc too. The other for ZA600 of 41 squadron in the 95th anniversary scheme as on the box. There are RAF specific under fuselage pylons and a GR4 specific spine on a new sprue 'P'. My clear sprue in the kit is the IDS one and is missing the chisel end for the laser designator part number F173. The box is still end opening but the instructions are now on glossy paper and in colour so that is a huge improvement! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
At Sea Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Oh, it has nice big tanks too!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guillaume320 Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Any chance to see some pictures of the new pylons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
At Sea Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 New pylons, General Melchitt could have save his eye sight as the securing buckles are now moulded! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
At Sea Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 The GR4 Sprue, note the extra spine has the GPS receiver lump, the IDS spine is included as well to save sanding it off for an earlier GR1. There is also a blanked gun port for GR4 or GR1A 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
At Sea Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Big tanks. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
At Sea Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 New instructions and decal sheet. Very please with Revell, for a very good price we have an operational Tornado OOB. It also keeps all the IDS bits so aftermarket decals allow you to build a any Tornado you like from the GR4 boxing. I'm sure it's is all the wrong shape but to the average modeller like myself this is a win! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzz Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Thanks for posting photos, good to see the decals for the cockpit look like there geared towards the Gr4, I'm also happy they have gone for a standard Sqn scheme rather than a second special scheme.

F4u Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Thanks for the info and the photos looks like I might invest in one. Guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepureness Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 can we get some photos of both paint schemes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
At Sea Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 can we get some photos of both paint schemes Not much point, they are both grey with a grey radome. 2008 for 617. Just google ZA600 or ZD714. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breaker Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Thank you for that AtSea. Shame, as I REALLY wanted the special 617 markings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muzz If you go the eduard etch route, this is closer to the GR1 cockpit. http://www.eduard.com/store/out/pictures/z1/49686_1.gif Shaun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
At Sea Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 That's good as I'm building my GR.4 as a GR.1 31 squadron Goldstars circa 1988. Mainly because most things look better in green grey wrap around! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebastien Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 As I want a Tornado in (almost) each camouflage it ever wore, I'm in for a couple... Cheers, S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muzz Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 As it says in the thread posted above, the kits been removed from sale until the part issue is rectified. This has been a bit of a saga, release date delayed twice and now withdrawn. Should have been a pretty straightforward retool/release! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
