DerMattes AuthorAnother project on the bench. I had this kit as a kid and built and painted it with the smallest available brush and unthinned Revell enamel paint. Hope this one will look slightly better in the end 😉

DerMattes AuthorThanks mates for the interest 🙂
The panel lines below the cockpit were just vertical ones, which is not correct as there are multiple access ports with lids. Also the fit was very poor here, had to putty and sand the area multiple times, as well as at the back around the horizontal stabilizers.
Airbrushed panel by panel and then sprayed some light coats to tone everything down.

Jay Mountain GoatI like the weathering of individual panels. Coming along nicely!

DerMattes AuthorDanke @Christian
Decals are now complete and I also masked some smaller areas off and sprayed them. Next is clear coat to seal the decals in, then finishing the cokcpit and some weathering.

DerMattes AuthorThank you for the likes, mates!
Ejection seats printed to fit the cockpits and painted according to the Duke Hawkins Tornado book and some other references.

AlexanderLooks very nice!
Did you print those parts yourself? The ejection seats look really good! 👍

DerMattes AuthorThanks Alexander!
Yes, printed by me. The photo of the parts is after printing and washing them. When they are dry I remove the supports then cure them.
The seats are scaled up a bit to fit the cockpit of the Tornado, although they were made for 1/72 scale. I bought the model on cults3d.
