Dermo245 Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 (edited) Hi everyone and here's my Tornado F3 built for the 'Tornado Warning' Group Build. The short build thread is here but to recap: Kit: Tamiya (ex Italeri) Tornado F3 Scale: 1/72 Build: Out of box with tape for seatbelts Paints: Halfords plastic primer, Revell acrylics airbrushed, Klear, Flory Models Wash, 4B pencil Decals: XTRADECAL Tornado F.3 229 OCU/65 Sqn "Red Zebra display" scheme Extras: some panel lines rescribed. Notes: This aircraft ZE809 was lost in a non-fatal crash in June 1994 while flying with 111 Squadron. A seal around a high pressure shaft failed leading to an engine explosion and fire. Really enjoyed this one and very happy how the decals turned out - but a little touch up with red paint was needed where they cracked. Tamiya_Tornado_F3_1 (4) by Dermot Moriarty, on Flickr As the Tornado scheme commemorated 50 years since the Battle of Britain, thought I should pose it with a Spitfire from that time - this is an Airfix Mk1a from 602 Squadron, July 1940. Thanks for looking, stay safe and happy modelling. Dermot Edited November 19, 2020 by Dermo245 Fixing photo links 28 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
