Lancman Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 The only ones I know of that you can use for the F3 are in the old Revell F2 kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thierry laurent Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Don't lose your time! I have two F2 boxes and their decals are useless. They yellowed and cracked... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotsman Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 No such luck , there was a privately printed set managed to get my hands on , but that was 15 years ago so until Italeri produce their F3 your out of luck I'm afraid - sorry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheetah11 Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 (edited) It depends on the scheme you want to do. I chose an F3 during the gulf war as many stencils and walkways were not present. Many of the Revel RAF version have similar stencils and these were also used. RAF low vis roundels cut, masked and airbrushed. The biggest problem were the white NO STEP signs which I eventually cut with the Silhouette cutter. An easier one is to use Eduard photo etch NO STEP stencils. Not easy but not impossible to do a F3. Hope this helps Edited January 20, 2021 by Cheetah11 Scotsman, Landrotten Highlander, GMK and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luca Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 (edited) not only the white no steps are needed but also the dotted lines (walkways) on the wings... it's really strange that no aftermarket manufacturer has thought about it yet, they shouldn't be so difficult to make I think, something like these ones: Edited January 20, 2021 by Luca Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have made these decals a long time ago for my own Tornado F3 conversion resin set which some modellers on LSP bought at the time. The resin set is now outdated... An old photo of my decal print is seen and the black pattern at right is duplicated in "white" on the left with an Alps printer. Are meanwhile the "white dotted lines" decals for the Tornado F3 (ADV) released by any decal supplier? I might dig up my old files to do a reprint but don't know is there is still a demand for these F3 decals alone. .

Scotsman Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 My goodness - yes that's the set - and that takes me back - for the time set was excellent accurate and easy to use -I'd buy another set , it's good to have decals like these Just in case!

At that time I also had a complete decals set with the resin conversion. Later on, several Tornado ADV decalsheets appeared e.d. Xtradecal etc. but without the white stripes of the walkways. Making a reprint of the white stripes for me is not that difficult so I might do. If others are interested, let me know. .... just curious Scotsman... were you able to finish the conversion with my F3 resin set?

Scotsman Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 It's colin BTW, Scotsman was a mistake, and yes after a pause of almost a year I completed my F3 and finished it in the 111Sq markings - Yes shortcuts were taken but overall it was a great project , and yes I will grab some pics of it , assuming I can extricate it from the store it currently resides in 2008 - Damm I was almost young then!

Tomcatfreak Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 I can recommend the Uprise Decals. Dmitry can print them in any scale and they are very good to work with. https://uprise-decal.ru/tornado-adv Scotsman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mydesign Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 (edited) Hi, A few modellers were interested in decals for 1/32 Tornado ADV F2 or F3 with particularly the white walk way stripes and NO STEPS. After a search, I have been able to rescue the computer files for the decals designs made over a decade ago and updated them. Decals can be custom printed "on demand" Interested? Look at my Tornado page here... Edited December 4, 2022 by mydesign iaf-man and Tony T 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iaf-man Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 It's a pity ZOTZ didn't upscale his 1/48 White Tiger decal,to my opinion the most impressive paint scheme now he's closed for businness http://www.aircraftresourcecenter.com/Rev1/601-700/Rev623-Zotz48011/00.shtm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomcatfreak Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 I guess Italeri brings us an ADV Tornado in 1/32. If you have a look at the kit parts and the break down of the parts, an ADV is possible. I asked Italeri many time but no response yet iaf-man 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
