Revell 1/48 Tornado IDS as a GR.1B


Recommended Posts

Hi all,

Here is my latest creation, built for a friend who was a navigator with 12 Squadron during the mid 1990s. I've got a draft write up here which I'll change at some point, but as you can see, I was not enamoured with this kit. Additions are Aires seats, Eduard photo-etch interior, Xtraparts resin pylons and Xtradecals main markings and stencils (which have terrible instructions). Paint is Mr Color. The pitot tube was replaced with Albion Alloys tubing and the bombs are from the Airfix Buccaneer kit. Six months of hard work, but here is the end product:

Comments welcome

Jon

Notwithstanding any challenges you may have had with the original kit, you have turned out a superb rendition of the Tornado GR.1B !.

Hello,Jon - The quality and detail of the paint and finishing work,coupled with a clean 'classical' appearance,is my personal idea of modelling perfection.This beautiful looking build of your 'Tornado' ticks every box for me.I love it. ;) All the best,Paul.
