Dave Williams Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 A couple of questions regarding the upcoming Eduard stuff. Doesn’t the Brimstone rack also require a downward angled pylon when used on the Tornado? Not sure if it’s all of the time, but definitely when it’s carried in the common position behind the targeting pod on the left fuselage pylon. Also, do the RAF Tornados use GBU-49? I’ve just seen the enhanced GBU-12s as in the kit, with the hardback and GPS discs on the seeker section. The only thing missing is the short cable fairing on the side of the seeker. The GBU-49s shown don’t have the hardback, and have the cable fairing running all of the way down the side of the bomb body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otis252 Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Yes, there's a downward angled adapter that mounts the rack to the pylon. Hopefully those will be included. I'm in for many sets for the Tornados and Typhoons. Chuck Mark M and Michael931080 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotsman Posted March 17, 2021 Author Share Posted March 17, 2021 (edited) Even if it's not , this suggests that scratch building the mount won't beyone the skills of anyone here Paveway GBU Details A quick scan of this site above does suggest that that the GBU-49 was used by the RAF in Iraq and Afghanistan. although it seems as though the GBU-29 seems to have been a more common weapon , but my goodness the whole 500lb LGB is a maze!

Chek Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 The downward pointing rear adapter doesn't look too difficult to add to the Eduard launcher set. Scotsman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomjw Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 I'll be getting four Brimstone launchers. Scratch building the wedges for the rear launchers will not be a problem at all. Scotsman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otis252 Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 It's actually good that the adapters are separate or need to be scratch built. These launchers are also used on the Typhoon, which I don't believe use the wedge adapters. Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotsman Posted March 18, 2021 Author Share Posted March 18, 2021 True , and I've seen pics of them on F-18s as well , Never mind a little Scratch building is good for the soul! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichG Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Lights, Sound, Action...! For anyone wanting to take their Tornado to the next level how about fitting working navigation lights, landing and taxying lights, cockpit lights, flashing beacons, flickering exhausts and authentic start-up and shutdown sounds....? I was toying with the idea of fitting nav lights myself with some nano LEDs when I came across this little lot: https://www.magicscalemodeling.com/shop/Panavia-Tornado-1-32-With-Sound-p312824958 Modelling fundamentalists... please don't shoot the messenger!

This was to stop the missiles hitting the launchers fitted to the forward ERUs of the shoulder pylons. A shallower angle wedge was required for the forward launchers to enable missles to clear the LRMTS and FLIR fairings.

RichG Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 (edited) You wait for one bus to come along and then... Red Fox Studio from Hungary is jumping into the world of cockpit 3D detailing decals producing a growing range under their "Quick Set" brand. They also do decals and soon to release a resin range. Red Fox Studio has a growing catalogue of products with items already in 1/32nd scale, 1/48th scale and now 1/24th scale : https://rfstudio.hu/ There are 2 cockpit sets for a 1/32 Tornado GR.1/IDS and ECR (not the GR.4 so far). They are quite expensive but having seen a review of another item in their range I'm seriously tempted (apparently they match cockpit colours accurately, unlike some other after-market cockpits...). As I will probably only ever make one Tornado in 1/32 scale and it will probably be a Tornado GR.1... Rich (trying hard to justify a set...)

In another thread, they say they match the colors to the paints listed in the kit instructions. That’s why the first iteration of their 1/32 F-117 cockpit had a gray background IP instead of black, which is the actual color. The Trumputer instructions said to paint the cockpit gray. They released a newer version (called “late”) that fixed the colors. Uncarina 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
