alex_stela Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 (edited) Here is my recently finished 1/72 Panavia Tornado F.3 ZG798 "Faith", which served in 1435. Flight at RAF Mount Pleasant, Falkland Islands in 1999. Model is made of 04375 Revell kit, which in fact is an old (late 1980s) Italeri kit with corrected canopy frame. It has nothing to do with superb Revell's 1/72 Tornado GR.1 - it's very simplyfied, has lot of mistakes and it's hard to build correctly, but it's still the best 1/72 F.3 in shape. I've used Eduard PE set, Pavla's MB Mk.10 ejection seats, some self-made parts (as flares dispensers) and decals (Maltese crosses). Painted with Lifecolor acrylics.

ColinChipmunkfan Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Well done. This looks the part, the exhaust staining on the fin is very familiar to me and is very realistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meatbox8 Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Looks great. Not often you see an F.3 build, especially to this high standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andwil Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Very nice model, you wouldn't know the kit has the flaws you pointed out from this build. Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevej60 Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Superb "transformation" of the old Italeri kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NealParkes Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Very nicely done, I have built the Tamiya rebox version and the kit is not the easiest but still makes a good representation of the ADV Tonka. You have certainly done it justice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Riot Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Looks just like an F.3 Tonka to me. I certainly don't see any inaccuracies whatsoever! I might have to get one of these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
