Jon Bryon Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 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 49 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philtn Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Excellent build, yes. I have had similar problems with their 72nd scale tornado, it's complete rubbish. You'd have to put in alot of putty efforts 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbine_Man Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Excellent. Looks very very good. I had to give up on mine and throw it away as the intakes defeated me... Would have looked even better with a bat on the tail.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcdonnell Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
