flybywire Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 (edited) Hi! Just want to verify/clarify some areas for painting if I'm going to build the following two schemes: http://www.airliners.net/photo/UK---Air/Panavia-Tornado-GR1/0750297/L/ http://www.planetinvestigations.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/SAUDI-AIRFORCE1.jpg Areas of concern: 1. Are all gear bays in light gray in contrast to the gear bay doors and struts which are in white? 2. Parts 55 & 56 in No. 21. http://www.model-making.eu/products/Tornado-IDS-3011310.html 3. The "O" areas in parts 46 & 51 in No. 19 and the inside surfaces of parts 114 & 115 in No. 49. Are they in gray? http://www.model-making.eu/products/Tornado-IDS-3011310.html http://www.model-making.eu/products/Tornado-IDS-3011310.html 4. In No. 50, is it correct to paint the inside surface of the airbrakes light gray in contrast to the corresponding areas on the fuselage where they rest which are in white? http://www.model-making.eu/products/Tornado-IDS-3011310.html 5. is the inside surface of the windshield and canopy in light gray and not black? All the colors mentioned were taken from the Revell kit. Thanks in advance! Edited September 9, 2014 by flybywire Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scotthldr Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 1/ Everything in regards to the undercarriage is Light Grey, the bays, the struts, the hubs and the internal surfaces of the doors. There is no White in this area on any Tornado weather it be German, British, Italian or Saudi. 2/ Grey, but dirties quickly so varies. 3/ On the Saudi a/c it looks like it may the Sand colour of the main scheme??? 4/ The speed brakes at the bottom of the fin for Saudi a/c, are Light Grey(same as undrcarriage)on the inside of the moving surface and the non moving parts on the fuselage, not White. 5/Internal canopy framing is Grey on both.

spike7451 Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Scott's correct,to add the drop tanks on the RAF D/Storm photo are desert pink HOWEVER if you use the Big Jug drop's,then they are gray as they were nicked of the F-3 pukes..
