Marco1965 Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 Just finished assembling Tornado IDS (Revell 1/144), mostly OOB but without the "white tiger" scheme, don´t like that one at all, so I used the Norm 87D scheme that it kept for a while when transferred from the Marinenflieger to the Luftwaffe. Only complication was issuing the Squadron logo, the tiny tiger, which I issued with old decals and some freehand painting. Nice kit, camo was the most difficult part as it requires lots of masking/unmasking/re-marking. I changed the pitot tube for a more realistic metal one, and added dorsal position light and landing lights inside the wheel well doors. The only thing I would appreciate from the kit, is providing some plugs for the big gaps where the wings fit into the fuselage when retracting, this is the price to pay for moving wings, which are worthless if you are going to use the underwing ordnance anyway. The rest, is quite nice and accurate. Marco 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAT69 Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 I'm doing good to "see" details in that scale and you apply them. Steady hand and a lot of patience I presume. At any rate, that's exceptional work! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I collected through the years several of these tiny kits, they improved in quality since I first bought the original Eurofighter Prototype kit, down the road to the Rafale, the current Eurofighter, the Tomcat, Apache, F-5 and so many others, excellent quality! And if your mood requires it, these are excellent weekend projects, feels nice to have them finished in your cabinet short time after starting them!
