I build this 1/32 Tornado GR1 of RAF 617 Sq. Dambusters several years ago for the IPMS Nationals in Phoenix AZ. I used aftermarket sets from Flightpath, Paragon, Eduard and Reheat. Decals came from Tiger Wings, Xtradecal and my MAC/Alps printer. Paint was Xtracolor enamels on the exterior and Model Master inside. Still my favorite aircraft model build to date. Milt

Thanks all! Here is a shot of the Tornado with everything hanging. The Paragon resin flaps and slats. A nightmare to get perfect but worth the effort.

Looks like you've done the full size aircraft! :eek: That things almost big enough to climb in and take off with.

Your detailed paintwork is awesome! Your pilots are great, too!

Hi Milt,

Your Tornado is the reason I registered to the Hobbytalk site.
What a beautiful build!
May I ask what exact XtrColors colors you used on the camo?
Or is it a homebrewed mix?

Thanks,

Frank.

DUDE! That is one of the most realistic paint jobs I have ever seen on a kit. Is there ANY detail you missed?

Beautiful!!

Thank you Frank .. The enamels from Xtracolor were X1 BS 641 RAF Dk Green and X4 BS 638 RAF Dk Sea Grey. Straight from the tin.
