Tornado GR.1 1/48 from Revell kit. 31sq Goldstars 1985


Recommended Posts

Hi, been working on this for the last couple of months when time allows.

Pretty much done, built as ZD740 from the Xtradecal set.

Used the Revell 1/48 GR.4 kit as the basis.

Lots of fun, and very pleased with the result.

Misplaced the clear sprue somewhere so no nav lights on the intakes or landing lights but I have 2 clear sprues which will turn up soon.

Enjoy.

Oh, before I forget, CMK undercarriage bays, Humbrol aerosols for colours, Tamiya acrylics for detail, Eduard cockpit for the IDS.

The picture I used as inspiration was from Airliners.net but type ZD740 into google and you can see it well enough.

Accuracy: The port side back seat ejector seat only has 1 warning triangle because that is what is shown in the picture.

The in flight refuelling probe was on this aircraft in the reference pictures.

Inaccuracy: The tanks are 2 fins short.

There are no walkways on top of the fuselage as after cocking up the first set and then fighting with the second set I gave up.

Oh!

The nose has the annoying crease, I filled it and sanded it back, which looked okay under a matt coat but once I kleared for decals the light playing on the surface shows it. Irritiating but it's only grey plastic!
