Panavia Tornado – build start.

The instructions starts with the seats, which are pretty nice for a kit seat. There seams to be different colours on the different versions, but I’ll stick to the information I found and will paint the main part of the seats and cockpit in Dk gull grey and have black/green anti skid floor.

The cockpit parts are assembled and the front gear bay glued to the bottom of the cockpit tub. Next will be some paint.

Panavia Tornado GR. Mk.1 RAF – Revell 1/32

I must be a bit crazy to start a new build now, with the intent on finishing it before the end of this month. The reason is that I won’t be able to finish the Eurofighter, due to serious problems with the wings and lack of proper decals.
This kit is a lot newer and have a lot nicer details and decals, but might still be doable. What worries me is painting it and adding all the decals, as there are plenty of stencils to go on both the plane and the weapons.

Anyway here’s a first look at the contents.
