airfixpeter Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 (edited) Finally at the third attempt I have managed to complete a Tornado (a Revell 1\32 one got binned and I have a 1\48 sitting on the shelf of doom). Not bad for an old airfix as most of the decals had disintegrated but there were enough to go around. I am now off to the stash to find something to butcher Edited May 22, 2018 by peterairfix 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince1159 Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Lovely job i'm more of a piston fan but when it comes to looks the Tornado wins hands down (the 1/32 must have been a monster)... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why it got binned it was tormenting me at every drop of the glue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Jumbo Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Good job on an old kit. I've never seen a tornado with sidewinders just inboard of the wingtips - is that authentic? GJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selwyn Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Great job on an the ancient airfix offering! Think you have got your pylons mixed up, Tornado only carried side winders on the inboard pylons. Selwyn (missiles were also grey in colour by the way!) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cngaero Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 You've done a great job with this old Airfix beastie. It certainly shows what can be done with a little time and patience. A minor observation though, you may wish to have a look at the fin flashes, the leading colour should be red, not blue. I hope you don't mind me pointing that out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spitfire31 Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Looks good enough to have earned a replacement set of roundels without those pesky white misprint half-moons! Dedicated build, with a final result that's better than the kit… Kind regards, Joachim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
