1/48 Italeri Tornado F.3 ADV

Post by Medicman71 »

Here's my build of the 1/48 Italeri Tornado F.3 ADV. Got the kit for a X-mas gift.

Got some aftermarket for it as well.
Aires MB Mk 10 Ejection Seats
Eduard PE Set
Xtradecal Tornado decals

I decided not to use the PE for the instrument panels as I thought they lacked detail compared to the kit parts.

Test fitting!

Adding PE to the exhaust area.

Got the wings attached and at the same position best I could.

Got the rear exhaust section glued to the rear fuselage. Had to cut off the guide tab so it would fit correctly. May have to do that with the front fuselage section as well.

Front fuselage is attached.
