Sebastien Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 (edited) Hi, I have decided not to talk to my Saudi Tornado for the time being. Then, one weekend, I went to a friend's and started another Tornado, this time an Italian IDS one. So after that weekend work, there it was; I didn't weigh the nose, which proved wise, as the model is nose heavy. I chose Gunze H404 to paint it, but it seems a bit not yellow enough for me... Tailplanes are painted, and the decals are started. A few wheels later... Let's start with the underwing stores: fuel tanks and Hasegawa Sidewinders (those in the Revell kit are awful). Now with all underwing stores displayed: Flaps are on (after some entertaining incidents involving a colossal brainfart): One matt coat later, and some soot added to the fin: Now, the slats are added; And now we add the Mk.83 bombs a friend was kind enough to provide: Tadaa! Done: The RFI is there: http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234992396-tornado-ids-operazione-locusta/ Cheers, Sebastien Edited November 21, 2015 by Sebastien 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, As it was my first Tonka, I didn't know yet the do's and don't's of this model. Five Tornadoes later, I think I kinda know how to build it now... I don't know yet what the next Tornado will be. GR1 Granby? Norm 83 Luftwaffe ? RSAF original camo? Cheers, S. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eduard is set to release a Granby boxing of the Revell kit... so I would wait until all the Brassin bits are awailable as well I fancy doing a 3/4tone green Luftwaffe scheme with 4/5 Matra bombs one day.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They got all RAL references. Cheers, S. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exdraken Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 wow! looking at those, I'd say you should go for a late GR4.... with Brimstones, PIV, Asraam, etc... , or a camo Saudi IDS with PWIIs... great! I only did 2 F3s for now, an Airfix!! one and the Italeri with Paragon flaps and slats.... need to follow up on those! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And stop hurting yourself, try a nice model of the Tornado for once. Cheers, S. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
