TheStig Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Certainly not a straight forward build, i had a few problems with the xtracrylix paint and also the aftermarket decals were extremely fragile. Also had problems with the sidewinder mount, i ended up ditching the sidewinders as theyre not that great.Anyway, we got there in the end, so here she is. I knew i would forget to take the masks of the targeting pod! And I noticed on the pics that one of the lights on the gear door had fallen off, luckily i found it on the floor and has now been glued back on. Kit: RevellScale: 1/48Type: Tornado IDSExtras used: decals, eduard photoetch cockpit and crew ladder, Hindenburg tanks and Paveway bombs from the old airfix kit.Paints used: Xtracrylix and Tamiya 54 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selwyn Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Great Tornado ! really like the paint scheme. A quick question. Did the bombs come with the kit, or are they aftermarket? Selwyn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Notty Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 That is one beautiful Tornado and your weathering is spot on. I know you've made it look spectacular, but regarding the kit itself would you recommend it in terms of fit etc? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheStig Posted May 11, 2015 Author Share Posted May 11, 2015 Thanks very much for the comments guys! Much appreciated! Selwyn, The bombs and the fuel tanks were stolen from an old airfix kit! Arfa, Just a grey primer, black preshading, then 3 light coats of desert pink. Vivkulan, Its Xtracrylix desert pink, FS10279. Notty, there's a couple of bits which need attention but nothing major. I think i would certainly build another so yes id recommend it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Darlington Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Wow that's nice Mr Stig. I love it but some say it is a pretty tough build.....true or not? Been wanting to get this kit myself. Cheers, John D 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
