starflyer Posted November 9, 2014 Author Share Posted November 9, 2014 Hi mates, small exterior details on the Italian tornado fuselage, before last primer coat. Now the both birds are ready for painting....but before a tedious work call me......... .......the amount of small separate parts need to be detailing and finishing.... this time I try new product, chrome powder from Uschi van der root website......fantastic and easy :-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

starflyer Posted November 10, 2014 Author Share Posted November 10, 2014 Hi guys, today I have question for you. I have strange idea to replicate the following subject, even if I don't like much special color airplanes, but this one in not too much excessive and can break the boring grey came of Italian tornado..... The problem with that is no decals for 1/32 scale are available on this plant in this life.....I should wait for the next century age probably, so I am wondering to print decal by myself. What I need should be a very big scan of 1/72 decal sheet from Italeri box (tornado special colors) box N.1336. I need only the two figures about this subject. If some of you could make a HQ scan I will be on the way to approach this idea and could be a very good help for me. Thank you Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stalal Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Amazing work. How did you do the tyres? They look so real. Can you please explain? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
starflyer Posted November 10, 2014 Author Share Posted November 10, 2014 (edited) Amazing work. How did you do the tyres? They look so real. Can you please explain? Tire were painted whit Tire Black Gunze Acrilic by airprush, then a ultra dliuited coat of grey was added to the circumference. After that I mask the tire and spry the gloss white of internal wheel. Oil washing inside the white and light coat of clear matt on the tire. That's all. Ask me if you need more. Ciao Edited November 10, 2014 by starflyer Quote Link to post Share on other sites
starflyer Posted November 16, 2014 Author Share Posted November 16, 2014 Painting update on the Italian Tornado. She will be with Grey camo so I made a "chess board" between panels by white and different grey shadows, then a classic preshading whit dark grey. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

starflyer Posted November 23, 2014 Author Share Posted November 23, 2014 Painting job is on going, very long and delicate mixing of different grey color (until now I apply 9 different grey shadows on the upper surfaces. I exceeded with dirty area from the engine reverse system. Here the differences between the original and my model. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
starflyer Posted November 23, 2014 Author Share Posted November 23, 2014 Ciao fellows, The grey is done! I spry 11 shadows of grey on to this model to replicate the basic weathering before washing. Now I can proceed by paint all small details on the surfaces (antennas, panels etc.etc..) Take a look of result until now. See you soon at next step ;-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I am really sorry this kit is not Tamiya level......nice bird, it should be. See at the next Ciao Davide, just because I'm envious of the incredible level of detail of your work. :jaw-dropping:/> I think only the British Tornadoes have the double scissors (fore and aft) on the nose landing gear: GR.4 The Italian, German and Saudi IDS generally seem to have only the front one: IDS Germany Saudi IDS Although in this photo the Italian one seems to have something similar to the rear scissor: Italian IDS T Just for your check.

starflyer Posted November 29, 2014 Author Share Posted November 29, 2014 Ciao Davide, thank you for the detail concerning the landing gear, I check lot of pics and seems you are right. I will consider to do something if possible without destroy my previous job on the front landing gear. Mean time I am painting small details on the surfaces.... See you soon Quote Link to post Share on other sites

One day I would like to build big 1/32 Tornado as well so I will definitely look at this post. Thanks for sharing. Cheers, Tomas Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tobiK Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Fantastico! You ragazzi italiani don't make great pasta and food but also stunning plastic models! Ok, ok...but have to mention that the engineers building scooters are not always concentrated at work... hehe Quote Link to post Share on other sites
starflyer Posted December 6, 2014 Author Share Posted December 6, 2014 Nice comment tobiK ! I appreciate :-) After a short "fight" with TauroModels decals for stencils the step is over. Unfortunately decals are a bit over dimension and too much darker than real color on the Italian Tornados, so I decided to "kill" the contrast by a very light coat of base grey....and let's check de difference ;-) On the left side the elevator treated, on the right elevator as came after decal application. I like the result and applied to whole model so I get the correct general effect of weathered plane. After that I apply much dirty spot and flow dirty lines everywhere before the oil washing. Check if you like . See you soon.....now I have to go cook spaghetti ;-) ! Ciao Quote Link to post Share on other sites
