miketippingmodels Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 (edited) 1/32 ITALERI TORNADO Well I had to do it, just to see what it was like compared to the old faithful Revell kit. at first glance it's nice, but there are flaws, well there are with most kits, but when it's all new tooling, and such avast array of online images, you would think it's impossible to get wrong. so this is the cockpit OTB, with a few ANZY decals and switches, but the ejector seats are from the kit, I also opted to use Tamiya tape for the seat belts, as the PE supplied is thick, and not very pliable. any enjoy landing gear is next.

Stokey Pete Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Following. If I pull the trigger and get one, I too shall be building from the box. It’s been forever since I last built and oob kit, and it looks like it’ll build a mighty fine example of the type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cicciuzzo Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 Beautiful cockpit. The green colour of the seats seems too bright to me. http://www.ejectionsite.com/mk10a.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Williams Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Looks great! How strong are the main gear legs for supporting the model? With their multipart construction, and being angled out from the well, I’m concerned they might not hold up in the long run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
