1:48 Tornado, which is best OOB?

[At Sea]

Hello,

I have decided to start a project to build some of my favourite colour schemes of Tornado.

RAFG wraparound green & grey Tornado, Marinerleiger Grey over white and Luftwaffe black and green (schwartz & Grün?).

I also quite like the idea of doing an F3 as well to add to my UK airdefence themed cabinet.

The question I have is which kit is best OOB 1/48 for the GR1 / IDS? I am happy to add a little resin to adapt and IDS to a GR1 or vice versa but really want to avoid pig kits that need serious modelling just to fit. Is the Revell Kit that General Melchitt has pinned the best?

Also which is the best 1/48 F3?

Any advice on decal sheets as well is appreciated, I was thinking of IX squadron for my RAFG and 5 for my F3 but no idea for the MFG or the Luftwaffe ones.

Thank you.

:-)

Revell kit is the best IDS/GR.1 and at present the Italeri F.3 is regarded as the best shapewise.

Try the following website for Luftwaffe & Marinefliger Tornado decals.
