Skyhunter66 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Afternoon folks - been on something of a Tonka project this year and this one is a Saudi Air Force version built straight out of the box from Italeri in 1:48. I think I have the measure of this kit now and enjoyed the build with no real issues. The main bit to watch out for is swing wings and the front section where the fit is a bit off. I used Tamiya and Mr Color paints with some Alclad. The Tonka looks great in that desert wrap around camo I reckon and it goes with a similar scheme I did for a Lightning a couple of years ago. 30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt P Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Lovely 👍. Is the Italeri kit the same mould as Revell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Coombs Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 The Italeri kit is from the 1990s, or, at least, I built one in 1992. The current Revell kit is about a quarter of a century younger, and quite different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt P Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Cool. I have the Revell 1/72 Gr1 but wasn't sure if the larger scale was a rebox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dashellis Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 I've made a couple of the Italeri Tonkas now and they're not a bad kit, the wing sleeves at the front are most definiteley a pain. I've got this scheme to do, I think the Tornado wears it well. You've got a great result with that one, very nice finish. Well done Darren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IvanVasili Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 One of the schemes that suit the Tonko best, imo. Looks great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
