Desert Storm tornado GR.1


Recommended Posts

Very nice build. Nicely weathered and the exhaust on the vertical stab' is well done. What was it like to build?

Thanks for the generous feedback everyone, much appreciated.

It went together ok really, slightly misaligned forward fuselage which you can only see on the bottom corners (my fault probably)  and the rotating wing pylon pins are weak which I had to replace with heavy duty wire (not very successfully judging by the gaps ).

Very nice! Is this done from the recent Eduard rebox or another kit? How did you find the build in terms of fit/need for seam filling, rescribing etc... it looks flawless!

No, this was the Revell boxing picked up from the Wonderland stand at Telford 2-3 years ago for £25! Not much filling required and I don’t think I had to re-scribe any lines.

A very smart and iconic scheme of the Mighty Fin.  Nice touch with the tips of the LGB (is this part of the seeker?) 

All OOB, the tips are separate so easy to droop.

 

thanks again all.
