This one.

I have seen that before, i do like that.

 

 

 

 

That's it. The Italeri kit has 5 options this one is the only British. 

 

 

So that scheme comes with the kit, nice. Should be a fun one to watch.

That's an interesting procedure, Justin.  Glad you're showing photos.

Toshi:  Mosquito is looking outstanding!  

Fantastic Harrier, tj.  Exceptional!

Great to see the decals going on Toshi, looking the part now.

Justin, thanks for the WIP pics on the PE blur props, per my demand ....errrr, ....request.

Please keep 'em coming and do get the camera working so we can see how you paint the things. Keeping one styrene prop as a handle was a clever idea!

Toshi, decals are really dressing up your Mosquito. You know you gotta do those stencils......

Beav, aye, I was sincere too. That said, I sure got a kick out of Chris' Beav and Wally post because I have to admit I think of the same every time I see your screen name.

I do believe I can call this done.  This kit is highly recommended. A few minor gripes but overall this kit is a winner.

A bit more progress was made today...I was able to get the acrylic gel medium down on the water portion of the dam, as well as get some primer on the dam itself...

TJ: The Harrier looks fantastic, nice work there.

And I love that Tornado. As Greg said that would be a timely tribute to Sir Roger.

Justin: Great job there. I love the frothy water and the 'spinning' props look great.

Toshi: She's coming along spendidly!

BTW: I did get a little more work done on the Tempest. I think I said that the kit cockpit is pretty Spartan compared to the 'busy' cockpit on the real thing. Still there's so little visible inside I decided just to go ahead and not add anything other than the Eduard pre-painted PE seatbelts. I think these are right, I found a bunch of photos of the cockpit on the internet but none with a really good view of the belt buckles.

Justin, that ius coming on really nicley, loving the dam.

Nice work on the pit G, that is spartan indeed.

Thanks guys!  

Gamera, in actuality,  that's not frothy water (yet), but rather, it is still "wet"....I used a product called acrylic gel medium...something artists use...and it is pretty thick, and takes a while to dry...especially when a front moves through, and the humidity skyrockets!

Greg

Johnny, your Harrier looks just great. It was fun to watch it go together, and you've moved me one step closer to trying a contemporary jet, if not a Harrier.

Looking forward to the Tornado. I really like that scheme (never saw it before), and it will be a timely tribute to Sir Roger too.

 

Great results on the dam and the buster, Justin.  Looking good.

Might be sparse, Gamera, but it's a nice looking cockpit; well done!

Toshi, Looking very nice. I love the excellent camo work.

TJ, well done. That came out very nice.

Justin, the buster is looking great and the dam is coming along nicely as well.

Now that is looking good Toshi, almost there from the looks of it.

Toshi, that looks awesome!

Oh what have I got myself into. This kit is horrendous. I'm going to make it look presentable but it will never be a showstopper.

 

Is it that bad.

So can i take it you would not recomend the Italeri kit for anyone looking for a Tornado.

I finished the upper surface camo today, as well as dipped the canopy and some other glass in future...now I am just waiting on the canopy masking kit to arrive!

On a bit of a downer note...clicking through you tube this morning,, I came across a video of the exact same dio build as I am working on!  Try as I might before I started, I never came across this video in my research!   I mean, this guy did the EXACT dio I am working on...he did more detail on the dam, but lost the sense of scale.  My build,  I attempted to model the dam in close scale proximity to 1/72, which did make what I built into it a lot more selective...oh well...I didn't really expect to be the first guy in history to attempt what I am building......

Really nice job on that camp Justin.

Funny how you come across these things after you have started no matter how hard you have looked.

the seam between the top and bottom fuselage is really bad

 

 

That don't sound good, hope your able to get around it.
