IBuildEmBig Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Hi all, I present to you my latest build: Revell 1/32 Tornado IDS in Italian AF "25 Years of Tornado" special scheme. This is a good kit and I really enjoyed building it. Parts breakdown is straight forward with no major problems. As usual, I threw in a bunch of after market goodies (which caused some drama) and here they are: - Aires resin cockpit (one of their best) - Aires resin jet exhaust (again, one of their best) - CAM avionics bays (so-so quality) - TwoMikes wing glove seal - SAC metal landing gears - Hobby Decal metal pitot tube - Phoenix decals (nicely printed, but carrier film way too thin) - an extra BOZ pod from another Revell donor kit - Sidewinder missiles from an Academy Hornet kit I suspect this jet in this particular scheme only did airshows and thus was never armed. But it feels very lacking to have a Tonka completely unarmed, so I threw in the AIM-9's and the kit's LGB. Probably accurate but they look good on the jet. Paint was almost all Gunze acrylics. Metallic areas were painted with Alclad. Here are the pics, I hope you like. more pics to come... Zero77 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Royboy Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 That looks nice! Very pretty scheme. I think your right, a Tonka looks pretty naked without some 'tools' showing. The extras really enhance the model, next time I do one I think I'll add some in. Thanks for sharing, makes me want to start another one soon! Roy.

miamiangler Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Hello Terry, Very nice Tornado I`m wondering I have an old Revell of Germany Tornado box #4760 got it in the early 90`s . Is it the same mold or is there a newer one ? Willi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBuildEmBig Posted August 14, 2011 Author Share Posted August 14, 2011 Hello Terry, Very nice Tornado I`m wondering I have an old Revell of Germany Tornado box #4760 got it in the early 90`s . Is it the same mold or is there a newer one ? Willi Willi, Thank you. The old Revell AG 4760 is NOT the same kit as the one I built. Mine is a newer mold, and all the after market goodies were designed for it. HTH. Cheers, Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
