Revell Tornado 617 Sqn Anniversary Scheme


Recommended Posts

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

                     Home crafted Stencil Decals, intake covers

                     Home designed and 3D printed centerline rails

Stunning work! 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.
