1/32 Revell Tornado ECR Tigermeet
By Danny Attree
Overall a really nice kit all round, the only down side is the the instruction for marking out and spraying the yellow, the pictures in the manual are totally wrong and you need to have this in mind. The DACO reference book Eye On The Tigers was essential there.
I would have been nice to have added some additional detail sets but due to lack of funds she is straight out of the box.
Modified the standard landing gear by removing all wheel mounting spigots and replaced with stainless steel welding rod, this stopped the wheel from flexing inwards and sagging, rock solid now.
I added the recommended weight in the nose but I could have done with a little more, probably half again. All painted with Tamiya acrylics with a fair few washes and fine finishing with an assortment of Tamiya dry weathering sets.
The weathering sets where real handy for adding the orange tint to the yellow tiger stripes.
I have a standard 1/32 IDS that will get the proper treatment in the future, Gulf War markings will be the plan.
