Julien Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Hi, Does anyone do decals for this Tornado ZA463 ? Just need the Nose art, I photographed this aircraft just after the Gulf War and would like to model it using new 1.72 Dessert Babes kit. Thx Julien Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Coombs Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 Model Alliance sheet MA-72174 - Tornado At War - has it. The problem now is to find it; eBay turned up a blank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Coombs Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 Bingo! Xtradecal X024-72 has it, and I have it in the stash. Pm me and I'll send the markings to you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julien Posted February 12, 2022 Author Share Posted February 12, 2022 Cheers Guys. These were shot at a typically "sunny" RAF Leuchars, not so great film camera back in the day. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alhenderson Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 @Julien - snap! Although it looks like I avoided the worst of the rain for once 🙂 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julien Posted February 16, 2022 Author Share Posted February 16, 2022 If I can remember it turned out into a fairly good day in the end. Last time I ended up going to Leuchars tho 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time I ended up going to Leuchars tho A typical Leuchars airshow, temp eventually probably got into double figures and that counted as a good day 😂 My abiding memories of Leuchars shows (went to a few, used to live there) were crappy weather - that's Scotland in September for you!

exdraken Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Maybe post shading? Seems like a perfect technique though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bozothenutter Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 But now more seriously... In 1/48.....Revell GR.1/IDS (does the GR.4 have GR.1 bits) and the decals? (Which will now vanish as soon as I look for them) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick. Hi Rick, unfortunately, the decals are long OOP. They must be the best part of 30 years old! I've kept mine carefully in my decal library and they're still in good condition. I hope Air-Graphics does a large print run with the planned Granby sheet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Which will now vanish as soon as I look for them) I think that the Revell GR4 kit has all the parts for the GR1. Apart from the possibility that the Instrument panel maybe for a GR4, as I am not a Tornado expert I do not know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is some difference between the two - compare and contrast GR1 instrument panels and what's in the kit (assuming Eduard's research is up to scratch). The GR1's pilot instrument panel has a circular display in the middle, whereas the GR4 equivalent is square, for starters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julien Posted February 20, 2022 Author Share Posted February 20, 2022 Im going to do it in 1.72 from the dessert babes boxing thanks to @Steve Coombs for the decals and @Hook for an extra tank. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
