SkyhikerMatthew the blue model is the spirit IDS. The plastic is a bit softer than the ECR.

CuajeteWell done so far.
Andy, I consider Revell's latest mold as the best Tornado IDS for 1/72. And the Hasegawa mold for the ADV version. For the IDS version, I miss some decals for the RSAF's camouflage scheme 🙁

SkyhikerI'm still not happy with the color of the glare shield. I think I may lighten it a bit. I think it is too dark now.

DanielUh, sounds like a lot of extra work with the decals. But so far this looks awesome 👍

SkyhikerThanks guys. Cutting out each stripe individually is a lot of work and time but the end result is much better.
I also discovered that some of the stripes were oversized compared to the original aircraft's livery. I am able to make the necessary adjustments this way.

SkyhikerOk, I am completely frustrated with the terrible instructions for the decals for the Tornado ECR. They get a zero in accuracy. I have been forced to waste time searching the internet for photos that don't exist. Shame on you Revell!

Donald Dickson IIInteresting. The decals on the 1/32 I did were fantastic. The instructions were correct, just not laid out the best. These are not Cartograf I take it

SkyhikerThe drawing for the decals doesn't match the decals provided. The drawing is completely wrong. But after beginning to apply the decals I realized that not all of the stripes match the plane. Had I known this from the beginning I would have made a stencil and painted them. But alas there aren't enough reference photos on the web. But I was pretty irritated when I discovered the photos of the original plane on the side of the box showing some of the stripes having completely different shapes and placement than the decals provided.

SkyhikerI think the Revell decals are more accurate for the Tornado "Tiger Meet 2014" on 46+28. But there are a lot less stripes on that plane.

Donald Dickson IIWow, that sucks. Interesting how it can vary so widely from one scale to the next from the same company.
But yes, there are a good number more stripes on yours than were on the one I did.

SkyhikerYour model of 46+28 came out well. Congratulations on getting 3rd place.

Donald Dickson IIThank you sir. Looking forward to seeing your pair completed. 🙂

SkyhikerOk, after spending days trying to make the decals provided for this kit look even remotely like the original I have decided that the guy who designed these decals was completely high when he did it. Some areas are close, but other areas are totally made up. I'm sure the photos he had were missing areas of the plane. And whoever drew the instructions was probably on acid because they are simply wrong.

SkyhikerI got the stripe decals on the model but several of them are not like the original livery. Now starts the fine tuning of the ones that are close, the removal of the ones that are off and then I will begin painting new stripes on to correctly match the original livery of the plane.

Łukasz GlińskiI see the grey tiger stripes by Revell didn't improve almost a decade after my CF-18 was issued (1993 vs 2000). I had to correct mine too. Keep it up 👍

CuajeteI hope the same does not happen with the decals on a pair of Revell MLUs that I have.
You are doing a good job 👍.
