Panavia Tornado IDS 4585

Neil
Ooh I have this one too! Following with great interest mate 😉 👍

It's a good kit mate, i had no idea that Us revell and German are totally different departments, and this is done by German one and quality shows, almost like 2 different companies

Villiers de Vos
Nice progress.

Petar Žorić Autor
Thank you Villiers, aircraft is done, I'm just uploading pics as I transfer them, soon there will be new ones with finished model 🙂

Daniel
Looks already very realistic, beautiful work! 👍

Mr James
Lovely work so far. Very nice weathering job

Neil
Indeed it does!... Fantastic!... But you're too quick at this mate - takes me months! Haha!

Petar Žorić Autor
Thank you Daniel, i was looking at reference pictures of this very jet from 2018 And 2022 and combined the two 😄
And thank you Mr James
Thank you Neal, don't be fooled by the amount of pictures, I'm doing this build for 2 months now, i just didn't update project here regularly, but i did speed up after I've done the decals 😄

Daniel
Only thing I would skip/replace are the Sidewinders, those look really weird (Not your painting, but OOB)

Petar Žorić Autor
@Daniel haha yes, I actually put them next to some 144 sidewinders and they had same amount of details, no decals nothing. And shape is not good, but, next time I will get some for some aftermarket, good advice man, thank you!

Alexander
Beautiful model, color and weathering look right too! 👍
I have the same kit - anything I should look out for during the build?

Tommy Agne
NICE 👍👍👍!

Petar Žorić Autor
@Alexander Well, nothing major, just decide right away if you gonna build flaps up or down, because, obviously wings cannot go into retracted position with flaps down (I didn't think about this) also, I couldn't close the canopy when I glued in monitors for weapons officer, so that's something to lookout for, but there is an option for older tornado cockpit. Add a lot of weight at the nose cone, he is quite heavy at the back, and that's pretty much it 🙂
And thank you both Tommy and Alexander, glad you like it 🙂

Alexander
Thank you very much, Petar, I will keep that in mind!

Villiers de Vos
Very nice work.

Neuling
Top detailing and paintwork!

Petar Žorić Autor
@alexander considering how detailed you are, I'm sure you will do amazing job if you decide to build it, and I will follow 😄
@villiers de Vos thank you!🙏🏼
@Neuling I appreciate it! 🙏🏻

Hello, looks nice, what things you did differently from Assta 3.1 to make it IDS? thank you

Petar Žorić Autor
Hello! Thank you @Martin Vaclavik I know I had few different parts for cockpit and I believe (it's been almost a year so I don't remember well) that is the only difference that I made but not sure if there are more on the real one. Btw I like the profile, I'm a big fan of Better Call Saul haha

Martin Václavík
@Petar Žorić ok, so just the cockpit, thank you. Your compliment made my day 🙂

Petar Žorić Autor
Yup, just the cockpit, and it's all good man 😄

Michael Kohl
Beautiful Tornado with all and just the wear one would expect.
