Dondy Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Hello there For one of my next Tornado projects in 1/32 I'm now searching for british Tornados wearing a winter camouflage which was temporarely applied on some Tornados when training in Norway. My search for pictures was not so succesfull as I only found one picture on airliners.net Hopefully some of you can help me here Thanks in advance!

Shaun Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 (edited) The patern is the standard wrap around as applied the Tornado GR1 with the dark grey overpainted with the whitewash. Edited March 23, 2010 by Shaun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards David Hi Dave, thanks for that! I think I will have to order it You mean the "AirData Series"? The patern is the standard wrap around as applied the Tornado GR1 with the dark grey overpainted with the whitewash. Hi Shaun, not always. I found a picture in the book "Tornado - MRCA" from Jon Lake in which the green was overpainted. I think the biggest problem for me is finding some decals in 1/32 I can use....

Also in the Tornado book one aircraft has none standard pattern on the front end. Decals will be your problem? Shaun.

Dondy Posted March 23, 2010 Author Share Posted March 23, 2010 Decals will be your problem? More or less I would really like to do a GR.1A bird from Marham like this one: http://www.airliners.net/photo/UK---Air/Pa...GR1A/1162633/L/ Sadly the XtraDecal sheet which covers 2. SQN is oop But also in Jon Lake's Tornado book, there is a picture of a No. 13 SQN Tornado in winter camouflage and the XtraDecal sheet featuring 13. SQN is still available. Thats why I'm also looking for some pictures. To see which squadron did paint some of their Tornados in winter camouflage so that I can choose the jet / squadron, I have decals for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabba Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Model Alliance do a scheme in 1/72, so perhaps they might do one in 1/32. There is a good picture on the front of the Crowood Tornado book which shows a 2 Sqn aircraft, which has the Dk Green painted white with all the normal Sqn markings. The book later show a 13 Sqn aircraft with again the Dk Green painted white and full Sqn markings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
