RJ-WobblyHands Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 I have not posted anything here for probably a year - that is because I am rubbish at finishing models , but the Tornado GB got the better of me , though the original plan was to build a 617 GR1 in wrap-around camo and I ended up building a GR4 in the Anniversary scheme Subject : 617 Squadron 2013-2014 , 70th Year Anniversary of the Dambusters Raid Scheme Kit: Revell 1/48 IDS Tornado AM Extras : Eduard GR4 PE Cockpit set CMK Tornado Ejection Seats Eduard Undercarriage PE XtraDecal Sheet for 617 Anniversary Scheme Home crafted Stencil Decals, intake covers Home designed and 3D printed centerline rails FlightPath Pods, and Pylon conversions.

Paramedic Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 That´s a great Tornado! Love the scheme and the paint job! Tornadoes are almost as cool, to me, as my all time fav the Viggens! Both big, noisy brutes..! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had read somewhere Revell's 48th scale Tornado has some fit issues but I see it turned a beauty in your hands. Thanks, the key to building the model is not following the kit instructions !!! All of us building the Revell kit in the Tornado STGB used a variation of the 'Flory Models' Build procedure , a little fiddly in places but mitigates all the places where fit issues (gaps and steps) can occur. Everyone in the GB has produced great looking Tornados. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
