Ale85 Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 After the flop with cold war gb, it's time for a new challenge for me. A real BIG challenge: a 32nd scale Revell's Tornado IDS wearing the famous 6° Stormo's "Red Devil". I really love Tornado so i decided to make a model in the big scale. Starting from the famous Revell kit: The box is for a ECR version, but inside you have all you need to make a normal IDS version, included instrument panels, bombs and cannon gun muzzles. i will build my model oob beacause i want to concentrate my efforts on the painting stage. I take some bits (the second BOZ pod, resin seats and resin nozzels) from another "unlucky" attempt to build a big Tornado. I will use airmodel instruments, master pitot tube and Tauromodel's decals to make a ol camouflaged machine with hi-viz roundels and codes. I love heavy weathered aircraft like this... I hope to start working on it soon, so stay tuned and wish me luck! ciao Ale 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ale85 Posted October 1, 2018 Author Share Posted October 1, 2018 (edited) Ok guys, let the fun begins! I started from the cockpit giving it a coat of black primer by Vallejo Then, after giving a coat of medium sea grey (H335 by Gunze), i focused my efforts on the ip: first of all, givng a coat of gloss clear, then i made a black washing with the Tamiya's panel liner. Next step: giving life to this pieces with the airmodel's decals and detail painting. ciao Ale Edited October 1, 2018 by Ale85 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ale85 Posted October 7, 2018 Author Share Posted October 7, 2018 Just a little "time-out" from the cockpit just to work to the weapon load: i choos to arm my Tornado with four MK82 bombs (included in the kit). For the first time i try to simulate the rough surface of the bomb body But, first of all, let's assembly the bombs! Then, using a sponge and Mr. Surfacer Putty, i simulated the rough surface: et voilà: tomorrow it's painting time! stay tuned! ciao Ale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
