Revell Tornado GR-4

[peterairfix]

The 1/48 is the one I'm after.Its a newer mould (mold?) so is hopefully a better fitting kit

I will highlight the bits that don't fit while the detailing is good some of the areas that I have had problems with going from front to back.
1. The air intakes gave me trouble both top and bottom.
2. Both leading edge slats need a bit of work to get them to sit.
3. The flaps are the same.
4. The airbrakes and the area around the exhaust nozzles would not line up.
And I am sure it's not my building!!
And finally where the tail meets the body there is a gap.[ATTACH]281386[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]281387[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]281388[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]281389[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]281390[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]281391[/ATTACH]

Those gaps are a bit disappointing. Revell's 1:72 Tornado is really nice to build.

There are some poor fitting there Peter but I'm sure you'll bash them into shape.

You're doing some great paint work with the new airbrush Peter. The exhausts look very good.

Back to the horror story that is this kit as I am on a mission to finish a few a stalled builds.
After have a good look at what needs to be done I am working on the air intakes witch have now had a good dose of filler.[ATTACH]294704[/ATTACH][ATTACH]294705[/ATTACH][ATTACH]294706[/ATTACH][ATTACH]294707[/ATTACH]

I hope Johns got plenty of filler left for you Peter.

Did you use a builders trowel to put that filler on ! I know the ADV's first flew with concrete in the nose cone, but not all over the body as well :smiling3::smiling3::smiling3:

That's how badly fitting it is and now I have misplaced the front wheels oh joy!

This one is not dead yet as I have a replacement set of Eduard wheels so I better not misplace these.[ATTACH]326598[/ATTACH]
