Potato Pete Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 The local Modelzone is flogging a bunch of these off cheap http://www.hannants.co.uk/search/?FULL=RV4631 Can anyone tell me what sort of Tornado it is, and whether the kit is any good/ Ta Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bexwh773 Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Pete, its a German IDS, very detailed kit but the one I have hada a lot of flash around the intakes and theyre a right git to put together, other than that, it aint bad value for money.

Potato Pete Posted January 19, 2008 Author Share Posted January 19, 2008 Blimey, that was quick folks Dumb question - does it correspond to a RAF GR something-or-other then Don't know much about Tonkas (as you might guess) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Takamota Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 slightly different in the lumps and bumps but there are parts in there to make it a GR1 if you so desire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The LRMTS, Sky Shadow and a few other bits aren't in the various IDS/ECR boxings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spike7451 Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Actually there isn't. The LRMTS, Sky Shadow and a few other bits aren't in the various IDS/ECR boxings. Weapon pylons are different too.RAF Jets (GR1/A) were all Nuclear capable whereas all the other nations did'nt have that facility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howard of Effingham Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 i got this kit in the modelzone sales too. the decal sheet is excellent. sometime ago hasegawa did a reissue of their tonka kit with this scheme and the differences in interpretation between the two once you see them together are quite surprising. one unusual thing about the RoG decal is that they have grey decals for the area of the wing root that swings back into the fuselage which i'd not noted before on any other tonka decal sheet.
