Great build. Brought back a lot of memories I worked on FK( Foxy Killer) in the Gulf War. All the Tornadoes were always dirty and very sun bleached as they were always outside. Great job.

[@PerisModels]

Thank you so much 🤗😁

[@joshroberts8137]

I believe that Foxy Killer GR.1 ZA465 is in the the Duxford Air Museum in the UK. been there a few times. It's been repainted to its Grey colour scheme now though. Probably the most famous GR. 1 out there!

[@Fastbikkel]

Gorgeous. I never made a gulfwar tornado myself, just a gulfwar jaguar. Those tornado pilots had one of the most dangerous jobs during the war. Most of us remember the interviews on tv with those captured pilots. I was around 14 when this war took place and it made a lasting impression on me.

Simply incredible build. Happy to see Revell is stepping up their game some and making better looking kits. I guess they had to do something to keep up with the other model makers. I really want to get back into model building and try some of these techniques I'm seeing in these videos.

It's a real testament to your skill that you built this kit so well. I started it last year and gave up because of its appalling fit in certain places.

What is the glue you are using with the brush and green cap? You apply it after the parts are together.

[@PerisModels]

The glue is Tamiya extra thin cement Usually yes after the parts are together i apply it

[@rifledude303]

Great build of a difficult kit! Did you seal the white oil paint in with another coat of varnish after doing the panel fading, but before adding loads of thinner for the brown wash stage? Presumably otherwise the thinner would take off the white that had been worked on previously?

[@PerisModels]

Thank you very much 😁👍🏻 Yes I always apply a coat of gloss paint after each oil paint layer 👍🏻

[@lesvenus3788]

Beautiful build as usual. The only snag is that a GR 1 on the ground with 67 degree wing sweep would sit on it tail! The fin was full of fuel. Standard shutdown for GR1was wing at 45 degrees, flaps and slats deployed. This is possible with the Revell kit. Great modelling techniques though and thanks for sharing

[@PerisModels]

Thank you for great information my friend I didn't know. Lack of space.....but the wings can be put on the open position as well

[@lesvenus3788]

Peri's Models keep u the work. I really enjoy your builds immensely

[@EdgcumbePhoto]

Great to see the build. Thanks. Couple of minor points aside from sweeping the wings on the ground, the rear cockpit is very different on the GR4. The GR1 has the original TV Tabs displays. Also, those LGBs are a more recent fit. The original LGBs used in the Gulf were based on the British 1,000lb bombs. I see Revell still have a slightly outdated line over the top of the intakes. The prototypes had a different shape which was modified in testing but a lot of kits still seem to have a hint of the old shape.

[@PerisModels]

Thank you Not always Sometimes I protect with another layer of gloss coat

[@c8136132]

Are they the kits decals? The port top wing roundel looks so oversized, most unlike Revell?

[@PerisModels]

No these were aftermarket decals Print Scale Panavia Tornado Part -1 48-040

[@squeaksvids5886]

Fantastic build, looks great. But I think the sand colour is a touch to dark. 👍🏻

[@PerisModels]

Thanks Paul 👍🏻

[@2-Hands]

You have a GR.4 version of the kit, what parts did you not use to backdate it to a GR.1???

[@PerisModels]

I will have to get back to you Most important were the PE cockpit parts from Eduard

[@Zone5Aviation]

The differences between a GR1 and a GR4 are very subtle, and externally, without any weapons mounted, the only difference is the addition of another pod fairing under the nose. Most of the differences are internal and in the cockpit new hand control grips are mounted to the canopy rail for the backseater to employ chaff and flares in high G manouvers. Displays are slightly different and some of the much later upgrades included a larger centre TID display in the back seat. All GR4s were upgraded GR1s anyway therefore in kit form, it's not hard to dackdate. The PE used in the this video would have done the job perfectly. The Revell GR4 kit is a reboxed IDS kit just with the extra bits for the later version.

[@PerisModels]

@@Zone5Aviation from what I know you are abselutely right. The main differences are in the electronic and cockpit

[@BudgetModeller]

You're also forgetting the removal of one of the Mauser 30mm Cannons....

[@leew8812]

potentially a few more changes than that.

[@simonphillips9082]

Brilliant build, amazing work. When you apply the brown oil filter over the white oil fading, do the thinners not strip the white off? Or did you clear coat over the white before the brown? Thanks

[@PerisModels]

Usually I apply a coat of gloss or I leave the white to dry for a week

[@brianc1701]

Stunning build, as usual. Thanks for the video! A quick question, please. Did you put a sealer coat over the white oils used for fading? It would seem that without it, the following enamel wash for the darker filter coat would wash it away. Just wondering because I'd like to do the same as I like this technique.

[@PerisModels]

Thank you very much 👍🏻 In this occasion I didn't because I let the paint for several days to dry as I was working on something else. But I usually do add a coat of gloss 😉

[@ivankojedub8662]

Wow ! Best !

What did you use a decal for the GR.1? I also have a changing plan to GR1 with Revell IDS. What can I do to change? main point for modify... I look forward to it you and antother 's r infomation. Or is it better to change it with GR4?

[@PerisModels]

Hi I think I mention on the video which decals I used I don't know if you can use the IDS you will need to research about it. For the GR4 the cockpit and one less chin pod are the only things you need to change

[@seunghunne.3784]

Thanks for your answer. I searched diffrent with IDS and GR.1. The points are solved. Your decals for GR.1 are inclued in the GR.4kit? I can't find 'The desert storm' for GR.1 and you did not mention about it. It is showed just only a included decal in video(I'm not sure..) Maybe, did you set a aftermarket decals?

Another great aircraft takes flight. Being a soldier of the 80's, that 'Cold War' era's equipment is what I know and relate to best. This was one of my favorite support aircraft. This is also an exceptionally nice kit from the Revell line that is wonderfully supplemented by the Eduard photoetch and Master after market accessories. Great choice by you and/or your client man. You've definitely sold me on those companies. I also love the fact that you actually included the pilots in this build. They looked really good from what I could see. I almost always to do "In Flight" displays. I've even done some battle damaged planes and combat dioramas. I can't help but ask though. Did you intentionally set up the kit to be displayed with the wins retracted? I noticed you didn't extend the base colors and weathering to extend onto the entire wing surface. Just curious on that one. Given how many of your vids I've been watching I had to make sure notifications were on for my subscription. Thanks again for showing us your work and methods Peri. Always enjoy watching them and being inspired.
