bar side Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 I had been looking at getting a 1/48 Tornado F.3 kit when Revell released theirs. Not usually one to go for new kits I thought I would give it a go. Some Amazon birthday vouchers got me on my way and today I would call her nearly done. No weapon load out yet, and about 300 No Step decals still left, but the sunshine was too good to resist. And the aircraft herself. Many thanks to @MADMUSKY for the 23 Sqn eagles to change her from the Revell special tail to regular EZ Thanks for looking 33 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exdraken Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 (edited) Fantastic! Hangar as well! Edited July 1, 2018 by exdraken 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon382 Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Very cool, esp in front of the HAS. Is it me or does the nose look a little odd? Open can full of worms and exits stage left!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huvut76g7gbbui7 Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 I'm intrigued by the HAS. It makes a lovely model on its own. I like the 'normal' 23 marks. Thanks for showing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Open can full of worms and exits stage left!!!!!!! I think the Revell body squares off a bit to soon after the nose. The real thing seems more gradual. One of those things you can only really see when it’s finished! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has its own thread in the diorama section where the build of the F3 can be found 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfinished project Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Very nice rendition of the much missed Electronic Flick Knife. Lovely finish but I would need to have a 43 or 111 sqn bird. I want one of these but every time I pick the box up I put it down again something scares me away. Maybe I should build myself a pair of testicles first 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got the kit a few months back & picked it up a load of times before getting up courage to dive in. Something about the 280 part was intimidating. Built up easier than I expected though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bar side Posted July 1, 2018 Author Share Posted July 1, 2018 @Unfinished project it was a lot nicer to build than my last Tonka - an ESCI GR1. My stash isn’t too bad at the moment, but I have been putting off a scratch build project that will keep me busy for a while 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevej60 Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 That's a stunner,great job,I don't do "modern" but had to have this when it was released after seeing this I need to start it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bar side Posted July 1, 2018 Author Share Posted July 1, 2018 Thanks for the kind comments guys. Have to say this was an enjoyable build. Nice parts fit & very little filler. But given the number of parts it has taken a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
