geedubelyer Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 That's a neat looking 'pit Mark. Quite realistic soiling effects around knobs and handles give an authentic appearance. Good job. Mark M 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomjw Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Hi Mark. The nosewheel bay is looking great. As far as I'm aware, the only white on Tornado gear was on the early prototypes. The vast majority of RAF Tornados have a very light aircraft grey bays and gear. Looking forward to more updates. Cheers, Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeroen_R90S Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Looking good! l learned to do the ordance first as well, after doing a 1/72 Hasegawa Skyraider (backdated to an AD-4) and really needed to push myself to get in done after the model was long finished. With my A-6 I started out with it too, and worked per MER + 6 bombs, for a total of 3 MERs and 18 bombs... Look forward to the next installment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every aircraft which left Warton after retro had very light grey u/c. But, it's your model... Mark M 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
