Steve Looking forward to the Tornado build and your choice and reasoning for the selection of AM make perfect sense.

Looking forward to this, much as I absolutely love the WW2 stuff it’s nice to see a modern jet in this scale! I might well build along as I have this kit somewhere in the stash and I managed to source the underwing resin extras

Looks like another good build series Steve, I'll be following this as I do with all your builds, the aftermarket should make a big difference to the kit.

Hi Steve,I'm excited about this build.I just finished Italeri 1/72 AC-130 Spectre gunship.Unfortunately had a lot of problems with the fit of fuselage and clear parts.Some of it might be on me,seeing that I'm still new to the hobby.Looking forward to the build.

Don't worry Joseph its all part of the learning curve. Stick at it and enjoy the hobby that's the main thing.

I've got the GR4 and ECR versions in my stash and will be interested to see how you deal with those panel lines. Really looking forward to this build series!

@TheModelShed

The panel lines are under control - I'll cover them in part 1 of the build.

Yeah, good aftermarket haul. I'm interested in the pods, tanks and pylons. I got those same exhaust nozzles you did for my kit. One thing I decided to try was the Eduard LooK cockpit panel set. I got it for a really good price so, I figured why not. My aftermarket decal set is a different company, cannot recall which maker at the moment. I find the kit supplied drop tanks are more appropriate for the the Tornado F.3. Makes me wonder....

There are a few non GR4 - or even non RAF - bits in the Italeri kit which I’ll be trying to fix in the build Mike

Hi Steve, look forward to you building this, looks a beast when built. Just curious, have you’ve shelved the Lanc Thanks Jason

@TheModelShed

3 ай бұрын

No I never shelve anything Jason. It will just be an occasional update maybe once a month.

Great review. I really think that this kit is poor value at £115 given all the faults and inaccuracies. I’ll stick to my Revels that I’ve been able to purchase for £30 ish recently.

@TheModelShed

3 ай бұрын

The Revell is still a nice kit and as you say good value these days. Id one interested in building one to compare to this.

Excellent Steve, thanks for the mentions. If anyone reads this then the Italeri navs console is very wrong for a RAF machine, you'll want the Navs tardis piece Steve mentions to get the correct digital side boxes and rear deflector plate

@TheModelShed

3 ай бұрын

Thank you Nigel. I’m glad you confirm about the nav console: I hacked the instrument panel quite a bit yesterday to get it to match my GR4 references. Maybe a candidate for a replacement part?

That’s a great kit.. but the panel lines are so chunky

They are but I have a plan for them which reduces the effect quite a bit

A lot I guess but I’m probably only going to build one of these and people can make up their minds about what they’d use on their builds if they can see what difference - or not - they make.

I’m on with the cockpit now. You can’t build a GR4 out of the box so it takes time.
