Rick's 1/32 Revell Tornado

Great save Rick. Will look the part once the wet stuff is added

With the seats fitted I realised that I had forgotten all about the pilots control column! It’s painted and ready to install later then the main canopy can go on.

The cock pit is now done and the canopy masked and installed using Deluxe Materials’ Glue’n’glaze.

Looking very good Rick, I must get back to mine

Nose cone, IFR probe and recce fairing fitted, a lousy fit and equally lousy instructions on the exact location because there are no locating holes, I took reference from phots on the Internet.

Hi Rick, just had a good read from the start.
Sorry to see it has soft detail and lots of seams, but you're doing a great job and when painted it will look great.:thumb2:

Looking good Rick

I had reason to break out the airbrush last night so blasted some black paint over the canopy.

It's coming along nicely Rick, even if it's not playing fair.

Looking good Rick

Primed and pre-shaded - not a fan of this technique but I’ll see if it makes a difference in this scale.

First coat of grey applied after first drawing the outline in pencil and masking the fin tip which I painted black when doing the pre-shade - 617 jets have their squadron markings here.

I really should start the painting process on my 617 Tornado too. This is looking good Rick.

[papa 695]

Ooo it's always nice to get some paint on isn't it Rick. Looking good so far I'm slowly catching you up with my build.

[rickoshea52]

It’s fair to say that I really do not like wrap around camouflage. I only went and masked up the areas I didn’t want to paint on one of the tailerons, luckily I spotted my error just as I was about to pull the trigger on my airbrush.
