alhenderson Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Ahhh, the famous LRMTS. When I saw the state of mine I briefly considered building a TTTE machine so I could leave it off! Yours has come out the end looking pretty decent, though! Don't think I'd build another one either, which is a shame cos there are so many I'd like to do..

almac Posted November 28, 2020 Author Share Posted November 28, 2020 Evening all. With the two week extension to this GB I have a renewed enthusiasm for this as I didn’t think I could have finished for next week. Despite all my troubles with this kit I think it’s looking ok so far. Today I primed it with Halfords grey and then gave it some Tamiya flat black. Hopefully the black base with give me a varied finish for this dirty Tornado. Next up tonight is the Xtracrylic desert pink which may be problematic but we’ll see.

almac Posted November 29, 2020 Author Share Posted November 29, 2020 Morning all. I gave up on the Xtracrylic desert pink. Two reasons, I hated the colour and it sprayed like ...well not very good. So I decided for an alternative to try Tamiya desert yellow. I tried building up the colour slowly to achieve a mottled, dirty finish but it takes time and patience. This is how it looks for now.

almac Posted November 29, 2020 Author Share Posted November 29, 2020 Hi all, more painting tonight. I tried to get a faded look overall but not sure if that’s what I did. I’m never sure whether to stop or keep going as I’ll probably overdo it. I’ll have a look at some pics to get a better idea what needs to be done. Meantime here is where I’m at just now.

Jabba Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Nice representation of the colour. Remember that this colour faded when the aircraft was in the Gulf region, plus there were lots of touch ups with different shades of this pink from locally sourced paint shops. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 I'd say you're in a good place with the paintwork on this one Allan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin W Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 How are you doing Alan? less than 2 weeks but you should still be able to finish this on time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin, sorry for not replying sooner but I’ve just noticed your post. Unfortunately this won’t be finished on time. I have done a little more work on it. I’ve started the undercarriage and ordinance but that’s it. I’ve not had the time recently due to work and family commitments. So modelling is on hold for now but hopefully in the New Year I’ll get going again. Anyway. Thanks to all who took part in the GB, some terrific builds on show.

Colin W Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 She looks too good to abandon so maybe you can finish it in the new Year. Thanks for joining in. Colin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
