It took me a while, this one, The seats were an inspired buy, they turned out great, overall, revell kits are quite cheap, but a lot of work is needed to bring them to life.

@@clonefox80 I'm not a jet fan, props only. But, If your out trying to build a stash. How about the Vintage fighter series 1/24th P-47 "Bubbletop"{not Kinetic}. I'm suggesting this because this kit can be a bit vexing. Poor fit, missing rivets and a bit of a pain, flap/wing fitment. So with your talent, what the heck - Rescue the big beast. You've already built my favorite {F-4}. So that's why I'm suggesting the P-47.

@@bobdyer422 I don't have the kit yet, bit I was planning on the bubble top' in 1/32.

Having worked on the Gr1 And F3 of these tonkas i have to admit it's a pretty impressive model particularly like the reheat lights brought back lots of lovely memories i can pick out one minor point that throws the model a bit it's at the back of the wing where the wing flaps would go into fuselage. the wing seal bags upper and lower bag on each side were inflatable heavy duty fabric covered and would always close as they were pressurised so whatever position the wing was in there would not be a gap. but apart from that you've done a lovely job well done deffo chocolate medal time! xHelen
Thank you, I'd love to get up real close to these aircraft and spend time with them, as you have, thanks for the advice too on the wing fold bags, 👌 Thanks again Helen.
Awesome build. I'm just getting back into it having been out of the kit building game for a good number of years. I've only got one small criticism. (And this is probably only bugging me as my day job is as a rampy so I'm around aircraft every day) your wingtip Nav lights - they should be red and green, not blue, and that's part of CAA, FAA/TSA, CISF, CASA, ICAO, IATA regulations, irrespective of whether it's a civilian or military aircraft, the lights on the side of the engine intakes should be the red and green as well. The only other thing is the top and underside anti-collision strobes, they should be white on the Tornado, not red. Those small points aside, fantastic work.
Thanks for the tips,,it's always good when someone who's seen these aircraft up close and knows what is really going on, gives their feedback,,,, I'll never forget that now👍 Have fun getting back into building
Your builds never disappoint. "Wicked Tornado" my friend. The realism is staggering to me. Museum quality pieces all the way. I watched it twice already. lol I'm still very impressed with your refueling truck idea as well. So cool. Hope all is well on your end bro. Been writing any more songs lately? I really liked that "whiskey" ballad you guys did.
Hey man,, good to hear from you, I'm doing ok, enjoining the free time,,,and the pay out.

Holy Cow that's a serious build list. "SERIOUS" my friend. heh, heh. The P-47 is one my all-time faves - bubble top or razorback... don't matter, I love em' both. The Bronco...Well, I'm sure it'll be a sight to see alright. Never even heard of one in 1/32. I'm really looking forward to that one. So much to contemplate. Curious to which one you'll do first. I'll shoot u an E-mail for the tunes. thanks bro.
Great job, just a quick question on the seats, I have the same ones, not used them before, how do you remove them from the big block? Do you have a paint chart for them? Or a guide?
Hey there Chris, thanks for watching the video, The resin seats are best separated from the block using a modelling saw, or similar, then sand the bottom even,,,,I always do all my resin work,,cutting and sanding, whilst having them submerged in water in the sink,,this stops all the dust, which is a harmful thing. For painting them, I just Google the seat and click images. Good luck with your tornado.👌
The shit you have to do, to make a Revell kit look good,,you know what I mean. Does the Revell Super hornet have optional flaps and stuff, or are they moulded in the wing. Thanks again man.
If your lighting a kit for the first time, this video by ' plasmo' is a good starting tutorial. You can get more advanced lighting tips from Lou at ' Aztec dummy ' YT channel. Hope this helps.
