Tornado GR.1 RAF "Mig Eater" 1/72 Italeri 1384 Model Build | RWO Models

[@pauldesousa6688]

If I remember correctly, the same kit was released as a weekly parts collection in the news agents back in the 90s

This kit reminds me very much of the old prototype-based Airfix Tornado I started when I was 13 and finished at 20 in terms of the parts breakdown.

Die Modelle werden von Mal zu Mal perfekter! 😉

Vielen Dank! 🙂 Ich würde eher sagen, die Baufehler werden von Modell zu Modell weniger … 😂

I've just started this build - you've done a great job. Excellent idea using very fine marking pens to detail the tiny instrument panels, and I love your seat belts! I noticed the nose of my model does not come to a perfect point when I hold the upper and lower fuselage parts together, but yours looks similar, so is it "normal"? Did you have to fill and sand there? Those pylons are a worry - I'm reluctantly thinking of choosing a wing sweep (fully forward perhaps) and cementing the pylons in appropriate orientation. I have no idea if there is a "standard" sweep normally used when the plane is parked(?!)

Hi Charles, apologies for answering so late... Putting the fuselage together was indeed a pain in the rear. I had to use tons of putty and sanding paper to get it to look like "one piece". Regarding wing sweep I would always go for fully forward on a "parked" aircraft but that's just my opinion. Thanks for watching!

vallejo? desert pink

[@RWOModels]

Yes, the color I used is Vallejo 71.140 US Desert Sand, equivalent to "Desert Pink". Thanks for watching!

It is a pity that you do not have the tip adapted to the nose, it is a defect that should always be corrected with light coats of putty and a smooth one. It is evident that it is not correct.

[@RWOModels]

Of course it's a mistake, even I can see that. At the time I built this I had only been building models for five months so I tried to focus on other aspects of the model... I always appreciate feedback and comments from my viewers because it's a constant learning effect but this one actually makes me think where the fun is going in all this...

I bought this kit and I would just like to say that this is my first Italeri kit and it will be my last ! So may problems and those pylons are a joke as soon as you try to stick on the armaments then they break - really poor designing !! Apologies for the rant but Italeri must learn to do better !!
