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

The kit

Excellent choice! Can't wait to see this come together. You build fast, right??

Kit seat compared to the Aires seats.

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

Test fitting!

Front fuselage together.

Adding PE to the exhaust area.

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

Radome is on and more PE.

All the major sub-assemblies are done. Now to put them all together.

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.
