[Any news on the Italeri Tornado GR4?]

there are several types of tornado, mainly in 3 groups

 

fighter version - F3 ect

IDS - Gr's

ECR - these are mainly the german ones, there are internal and exterior differences, so although there is a lot of commonality most of the bottom of the jet is different

 

depending on the sprues, either a new body or a insert for the underside

 

one of the 1/48 has the bottom as a insert and it works fine

[Upcoming LSP Group Build - Cold War Jets.]

would the Bell X-1 meet the criteria?

 

im only just getting back into the swing of things and a simple build may be better for me

[Any news on the Italeri Tornado GR4?]

having spent a fair bit of time around tonkas, the CAD drawings are for a GR1 not 4 and its advertised as a 4

 

saying that i hope it is a 4, and has dropped flaps, and wing gloves other wise ill stick with the revell, there seems little point in the price if not as the Revell even with the flightpath conversion is still less than £100

[Alcald MIL-SPEC paint?]

Anyone?

[Upcoming LSP Group Build - Cold War Jets.]

oh whens this start im planning a tornado build next

[F-16CJ Block 50 1/32 Tamiya]

awesome mate

[Alcald MIL-SPEC paint?]

guys has anyone used this paint, ive only just started to see it in the UK (ok i maybe blind) i use Aclad metallic and normally tamiya paints, but been looking at these as they seem to be colour matched fairly well

 

i have a Sufa near the top of the pile and the Israeli range looks a good match

 

so what do i need to know about them
