Hasegawa 1/72 Tornado GR1 Desert Storm

Very sorry to read this. Not a good time.

Some things are more important than model aeroplanes so just do what you know is right.

Well it is done. As with the black Tornado it has been rushed and my heart wasn't in it. My attempts to dirty it a little have been heavy handed and I have now consigned two aerials to the carpet monster which I will need to resolve at a later date. The Airwaves wings insisted on being staight rather than the classic Tornado anhedral, but they look a lot better than the kit wings so can live with it. It is not historically accurate in that there are too many mission markings for it to be carrying JP233s (as they stopped using them after a few days) but couldn't resist fitting them. The Hasegawa kit went together better than the Revell kit but I still did not enjoy it (possibly my state if mind at the moment). I am glad it is done and will be leaving my modelling alone until after Christmas to spend all the time with my family. No doubt I will be glad to get back to it afterwards!

 

 

And with her Op Granby strike sisters

Well done. Looks great with the JP233's. Maybe you can finish the weathering later. The Bucc looks excellent so if you can do that again then nothing to worry about.

Have a good Christmas with your new family

Well done in getting this one finished, seems like it was a trying build.

Nice collection Operation Granby aircraft

 

That kit was my first Hasegawa kit, I was amazed by the detail compared to the Airfix I was used to
