Dermo245 Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Hi everyone and while I'm a regular contributor to BM, this is my first post on this thread - a Royal Navy Tornado of 892 Naval Air Squadron, HMS Ark Royal, 1980 built for the GB here on Britmodeller. You can read the short build (and even shorter backstory) Here but in summary.... Kits: 1/72 Airfix Tornado (fuselage/undercarriage) & 1/72 Revell F-18A Hornet (wings, tails and stabilators) Decals: Matchbox F-4 Phantom donated by Tim Moff (cheers Tim!) and stencils from the Airfix kit.Paints: Revell Acrylics brush painted, White from a rattlecan, Klear, Flory Models Wash. Extras: Stores from spares box and/or the source kits She won't win any good looks competitions and now that I look at it again, I think she looks a bit too 'Soviet' to be serving with the Royal Navy But had fun with it and has got me thinking of future WHIF ideas.... Thanks for looking! Dermot 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crackingjob Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Great model...love the concept! Though do suggest change of name as its a variant of Tornado to Cyclone....and if the US were to buy it Twister!? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilfish Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Total twist on the idea...love it. As you say, quite soviet looking, from certain angles. NATO name Shazbat, lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooterman Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Very nice. Surprisingly the Tonka looks good with Bug wings, at least IMHO! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
