Thank you guys! Yeah, the Tornado definitely is a cool jet. Prepare to get spammed with another 7 of them in the coming month. I just need to take decent pictures of them.

Very good work Marius. I really like how you left it.
The Tornado has been an airplane that I have always liked a lot.
If you allow me the comment as an anecdote. At the 2016 Tiger Meet, I saw two German Tornadoes and it's amazing how dirty they could get.

Thank you so much guys! It's definitely not perfect. I find it annoying that there is no detailing set for the fuselage pylons, which are just flat on the underside.
Indeed the Tornado was and still is a dirty machine, especially the German ones for some reaso . I have no idea what the reason is. They were extensively used at some point, but I guess the ground crew doesn't operate with medical gloves and tiddy, shinny new shoes either.

Klasse Ding - die Norm 87E gefällt mir 1000 mal besser als das heutige hell graublau 👍

Das sehe ich auch so! Ich finde auch die Norm 76 von MFG1 super! Das kommt auch noch.

Great result on this scale. Another one on the bucket list. Would appreciate one or two pics of the building process too.

Thank you so much guys. Unfortunately I have no pictures from the building process.

Also this Tornado is spot-on! Great! Good idea to use the Eduard Komorans.

Outstanding build, paint job and weathering, Marius! 👌👌👌 Love the look of your Tornado.
Did you scratch the starter rails of the Kormoran missiles?

Thank you Bernd!
The launch rails for the Kormoran missiles are the same ones used also for the AGM-88 HARM missiles, which are included in the Revell kit of the ECR version. So I just used the parts from that kit.
These specific launch rails were mounted both under fuselage and wing pylons, for example here for the AGM-88:

And they were similarily used for the Kormoran:

The clear parts are less than satisfying in revel's latest tornado ASSTA……

I would have thought that it was 1:48. The paintjob and weathering is outstanding.
