            Fantastic looking tonka Ian , the camo really suits it! Are the wing pylons glued or loose, they seem to be pointing outwards a bit , they should always be parallel with the fuselage as they pivoted as the wings changed sweep . The old airfix 1/72 actually had working ones connected with thin plastic rods that pivoted as the wings were moved (not mine though , I got glue on em and the rods snapped when i moved the wings!!) 5 star job mate , cheers tony

                        Thanks Tony no there not glued on but when you put the pylons on you just heat the tip inside the wing so i just bluetacked them on and they move alot when i handeld it so thinking of glueing them on

                            Great looking Tornado there Ian, the winter scheme seems to highlight the lines of the aircraft better than the usual overall grey or green/grey combo. Good work on the filling and build too.

                              Very nice. Many have commented on the camo' just like I'm going to. Was it a scheme you had to find or 'in the box' ? I don't think I've ever seen a Tornado in these colours - but do like it.
