Couldn't find aftermarket wing seals so I had to make my own. A bit crude but they will suffice.

Cockpit completed. First time I've worked with resin cockpit and brass seat belts. With this in mind I am happy with the results.

Decaling completed, some minor details left before clear coating and weathering. Found Revell Decal Soft to be much better than Micro Set/Sol.

The Aires resin cockpit is really great. Made own demisting pipes for the canopy.

Probably won't do another 1/32nd Tonka because it's a bit too big to handle when working with it. But this one was worth it!

How is the fitting?

The Revell plastic is so-so, filler is needed and some joins are really bad. The Aires cockpit is beautiful but it needs careful removal of excess resin underneath, otherwise the nose wheel bay won't fit.

Album info

This 1/32 Tornado build is the largest I've ever undertaken and the first project with aftermarket parts since I returned to the hobby after a break of more than 10 years.

The progress photos were taken with a mobile camera.
