TBP1538 Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Hello ARC! Here is my latest... Revell's 1/72 Tornado, with a bunch of goodies to make it a GR.4. I'm no Tornado expert by any means, but I tried to equip it with the latest mods, equipment, and weapons (as best as I could tell from the internet anyway) to model a current front line machine. Here's the breakdown: - Flightpath Tornado set (corrected nose, underwing pods, photo etched details) - Freightdog GR.4 conversion set, Litening III pod, and Brimstone missiles - Aires wheel wells - Pavla ejection seats - Hasegawa LGB (modified to look like Paveway IVs) - Modern Hobbies ASRAMMs - Master pitot boom & AOA probes - Gunze Aqueous paints - Combat decals - Lots of scratch built goodies in the cockpit Hope you like my model!

STEN8 Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Gorgeous!! I have that very model on my bench right now. No way it ends up as pretty as your stellar build, but seeing yours is sure encouraging. Thanks so much for sharing. Harry Lutz, FL Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TBP1538 Posted July 18, 2016 Author Share Posted July 18, 2016 Thanks Harry, I'm glad I could offer some encouragement. I'm sure your Tornado will turn out great! Dragan, Teeradej & cpoud117, thank you for the compliments. I'm glad you like my model! Cpoud117, I will try to take some better photos (but I'm not the greatest photographer)...

TBP1538 Posted July 27, 2016 Author Share Posted July 27, 2016 (edited) The final touch for my model is a set of crewmembers. Figure painting has been my nemesis... but I keep practicing! These are from PJ Productions. Edited July 27, 2016 by TBP1538 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
