Pep Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Its been a while since i have posted anything new but here goes. This is the new revell tornado, its gotten some mixed reviews but in my opinion is a really nice build. A little over engineered and way to many tidbits but overall it builds up easy. I used Aires Seats and ALARMs from the hobby boss kit (at least it was good for something) as well as a metal pitot. Finished with Tamiya acrylics and Flory Wash. Decals are from Model Alliance tornado at war. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

marvin20 Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Stunning build! Very nicely done! I did have a question, you mentioned that you used Tamiya acrylics to paint it and Flory wash for the panel lines, what did you use to seal the paint before applying the wash? Since Flory is water-based. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gonzalo Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 That's the best Tornado I've seen since the movie Twister! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

speedlimit Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 (edited) Nicely done! I plan to do the same build using the revell tornado as well. Do you have any WIP thread for this? Eric Edited February 13, 2015 by speedlimit Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jj264 Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Top notch work. One of the best I've seen for the RSAF specially in terms of camo accuracy :thumbsup:/> Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VMFA314Knights Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Pep, Your Tornado is top-notch. Great detail work, paint and weathering. That's a show-stopper. This kit seems too blow the Italari kit (which I built) away... after seeing your results, I may have to give a Tornado build another try. Cheers, David :cheers:/> Quote Link to post Share on other sites
agelos2005 Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Great model my friend What colors did u use? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pep Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share Posted February 18, 2015 thanks for the kind comments! Angelos: I used tamiya acrylics and mixed to aproximate the pictures i have. Unfortunately i did not keep record of the ratios (i really should start doing that). One think i like doing; after all 3 colors where laid down, I misted the model with the brown color. I have done this in most of my build as I think it helps blend everything in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
82Whitey51 Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Nice work! I need to pick up one of those kits...add to my 80s "Cold War" collection. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Scooby Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Very nice build. A friend of mine trains Saudi pilots to fly Tornado's. He is ex-CAF and I grew up with him and served with him (twice). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
