Phartycr0c Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Incredible work. Probably one of the best Tornados I have seen. I have to agree with Rich, when I first saw the phots I thought it was real Well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am interested specifically what needs to be altered. Always have the time to help, here are the images of the parts with the tolling worn away. It's hard to believe that Revell have just launched the desert storm tornado, it's the same kit just re boxed, and with new decals, with the same loss of detail. The rest of the kit is ok, but I re drilled it so it all matched up, I have 2 of these kits left , but I think I am done with the tornado for a while. Mike on this image you can see that all the panel lines are missing, this is due to the tooling being worn out here is a close up of the same part and on the side of the tornado the panel lines have faded away, so these are all describe and riveted. these are the drills I use, there not expensive, but do snap if your not careful, I use the dremmil, as its got speed control, this helps. these are a finer set of drills union tool make the but you can get them off amazon for around £10.00 Fanes and Eagle Driver 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red Dog Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 (edited) She's incredible. Great work !! what catched my eye was the shoe marks around the cockpit, i tried to make them but never was satisfied with my result. I'd be satisfied if i could have done half the quality of yours !! Edited January 3, 2019 by red Dog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevepd Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 I’m in the middle of my Tornado now. As yours I noticed the lack of detail underneath but never thought it was the moulds. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then maybe you should get in touch with PJ Productions and tell them, here is there details, there from Belgium here is the code number 321102 - NATO pilot seated in a/c (80' - 90') think the word NATO is a give away https://www.pj-production.be/en/8-figures-1-32- PJ PRODUCTION Rue A.

British pilot's from those day's used the RAF Mk.4 helmet's and no HGU-26/P or HGU-55/p helmets like the one's u used. Like i said great work, but the pilot's give's the model a very strange appearance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
