Bobski Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 I've just finished this one for a review in the IPMS UK Magazine. It's one of the two RSAF Tornado IDS aircraft that are used by BAE Systems at Warton for the Tornado Sustainment Programme (the RSAF equivalent to the GR4 upgrade, although their jets do not get the full GR4 treatment). The model is the Italeri Tornado IDS kit with decals from Jumpjet Decals, Neomega resin cockpit and stores from Airfix and Revell. At some point it will get some drop tanks too, but I can't handle doing another load of Saudi masking just yet! Loadout includes BOZ and Sky Shadow pods, ALARM, AIM-9L and Storm Shadow. I decided to do one of the Storm Shadows as a yellow test weapon. It needs another matt coat (that would be matt coat number 4 - grrrr) and some of the transparancies fitted, but otherwise it's pretty much complete. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stephen Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Fantastic build! Nice to see one like that as I see from AFM that the Saudi Tornados are going grey too. Stephen Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bobski Posted October 13, 2009 Author Share Posted October 13, 2009 Thanks for all the kind words guys. I think a panel wash may be in order at some point, but I'll see how I feel. Nicely done - I have this on my "to do" list.Where are jumpjet decals to be found here in the UK? I got them from the IPMS for a review, but if you Google them you should be able to find a website to order them from. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
