Made a start on this kit with the cockpit which is quite basic to say the least, part of the reason I put the pilot and navigator in. 🙂

Welcome Nicolas, pull up a seat. 👍

Added cockpit to the upper fuselage. Lower parts of the tail added to the lower fuselage. Wings and folding mechanism added to lower fuselage. Weight added to the lower part of the nose. I wasn't certain how much to add as there is no indication in the instructions. 🙂

Guy Rump Author
Fuselage now together and bits of filler here and there. 🙂

Many thanks mate for your interest and like Matti T. 👍

Just the jet engine intakes added this week as have been away. On the right hand side I had to cut and sand as there was a big extra part of moulding plastic in the way. 🙂

Guy Rump Author
Canopy masked and fixed. Primer added. 🙂

Guy Rump Author
Hataka Medium Sea Grey added as the main colour. Tail sprayed Hataka Jet Black. 🙂

Guy Rump Author
Tail now attached and the rest of the jet black (Hataka) has been added to the middle of the aircraft. Next will be painting the nose and the rear engines. 🙂

I call this completed. The plane denoted is a Tornado from 111 (F) Sqn, RAF Leuchars in 2010.

111 (Fighter) Sqn converted to the Tornado F3 from the Phantom FGR.2 in 1990 at RAF Leuchars in Scotland. Its main role there was as a part of the UK's Quick Reaction Alert to identify and if necessary, destroy hostile aircraft entering UK air space. The Sqn also carried out air operations over Bosnia in 1994/95 and took an active part on Operation Telic commanded by Wing Commander Rob Birch in 2003. 111 Sqn was the last RAF Sqn to operate the Tornado F3 and was disbanded in 2011.

Mr D
Really smart Job and nice Model 👍👍
Me and my Dad both done a bit of work on parts for this aircraft in the past, l was in the plating shop and my Dad on detailing he's long retired now.
Will have to build one in the future...he would really like that.
Was it a good kit Guy.

Guy Rump Author
Thanks for your kind comment Mr D. 👍
TBH, it's an old tool (1989) as are the other main modelling companies' offerings. That aside, it's a relatively simple kit and goes together quite well. I hope that one of the main companies decides to do a new tooling to modern standards in the near future, that would be good. 👍

Mr D
I Agree... definitely an aircraft worth a new revival.
