Lorebor 394 Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Hello, this is an Italian Revell Tornado (1/32); it was converted into a "trainer" version modifying the Aires cockpit with scratchbuilt and 3d-printed parts... Decals come from Tauromodels range... 68 1 Link to post Share on other sites

CT Modeller 3,729 Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 That is superb. Really like those early Italian markings with lots of red stencils. Those ejection seats are some of the best I’ve seen. The straps look real - as does all the rest of it! Link to post Share on other sites

SAT69 2,177 Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Wonderful cockpit (instrument panels, consoles and seats), excellent paint work, subtle but effective weathering and the subtle engine exhaust on the vertical stab' looks real. Quite an accomplishment you have there. Link to post Share on other sites
Booty003 2,761 Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Superb Tonka. The detail and paintwork is fantastic, well done buddy. Link to post Share on other sites
WV908 649 Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Italian Tonkas seem to be a rarity, but I fail to see why when there are beautiful builds like this! Not Tornado obsessed at all....... Cheers, WV908 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Hobo 296 Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 As I've already said, a stunning build. Would you please explain how you create the very subtle variations in shade of the various colors. It looks extremely realistic. Link to post Share on other sites
Harry Callahan 1,598 Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Thats one of the best italian Tornados in 1:32 i ever seen, especially the cockpit is a masterpiece, your way or painting is amazing. Nice photography also. Link to post Share on other sites
