Italari 1/32 Panavia Tornado GR1
In trying to fit the over large tail decal into the best possible position I was not happy with how it looked and, on reflection, I concluded that the one I did fit on the other side just did not look right at all. I then decided not to use those decals at all so this is how the fin looks...- BarryW

Italari 1/32 Panavia Tornado GR1
Touching up done and I decided to go ahead with decals before applying a semi-gloss coat. Unfortunately the decals are a little over scale. Here is a page from the instructions, look at the fit of the tail decal. Now look at the fit in practise. Make no mistake, this is exemplified by the...- BarryW

Italari 1/32 Panavia Tornado GR1
A dry fit of the seats engine intakes and wing fillets fitted with just a smear or two of filler needed. Below you can see that the swing wing mechanism is still working well. it seems quite strong and well engineered. Much better than the Revell 1/32 Tonka.- BarryW

Italari 1/32 Panavia Tornado GR1
The time came, the time that I was anticipating with a little dread, the time to join the nose to the main airframe. Bear in mind we are talking about some complex shapes from multiple pieces, the room for error and potential for disaster was high.... Few companies can really pull it off...- BarryW

I have been detailing and painting front wheel well came together beautifully Here is the cockpit, without seats, all came together well. There were no instructions for their 3D detailing set, hopefully I got this right, there are more interior details to add in due course. Here is a seat...- BarryW

Italari 1/32 Panavia Tornado GR1
More progress The fin has been assembled. It had six very small p.e. parts to glue in place, each side. I am not a fan of p.e. but I managed these OK. I just hope they stay in place. The wings went on well, a bit of fiddling around is needed to get them in the right place and a smidgen of...- BarryW

Italari 1/32 Panavia Tornado GR1
Today I got on with the wings which provide the full range of flaps and slat positions. As I want to take advantage of the swing wings given that it has a very good mechanism I am having the slats and flaps closed. Below the parts for one wing, a lot more parts would be needed if the slats...- BarryW

Italari 1/32 Panavia Tornado GR1
This morning I built up the engines but as they will be hidden I didn't build up all the detail. It was a little fiddly to install them but it all worked out well no fit issues at all. You can see how it looks now, below, and given how complex the engineering and a lot of parts being...- BarryW

i am still awaiting the seat belts but also a 3D printed detailing set. I have therefore been building up sub assemblies. This is how far I have got, cockpit parts. I want to see the 3D parts before sanding off detail from some of these. Here are the nose wheel well parts awaiting paint...- BarryW

Italari 1/32 Panavia Tornado GR1
Just done the seats, they have a lot of parts and the instructions are vague. Thar said they fit well with just one part needing some adjustment to get it into place. There is a fair bit of p.e. with this kit including seatbelts. I don't like etch seatbelts so i have ordered some 3D Decals...- BarryW

Italari 1/32 Panavia Tornado GR1
Well, one Italari down and another on the bench. A very different animal this though, a modern tooling and my first Italari 1/32 scale kit. Incidentally, I also have the IDS version of this kit to do as well. This is another kit that's been gifted to me, just after I got out of hospital. A...- BarryW

Italari 1/48 V22 Osprey - completed
This is a nice little kit and an enjoyable build It could be more detailed and more accurate and if you want that then the fairly new Hobbyboss 1/48 Osprey is the way to go. This model though was gifted to me while I was in hospital and for me the name of the game was to enjoy it and not...- BarryW

Italari 1/48 v-22 Osprey
All done, A decent kit and an enjoyable build It could be more detailed and I am sure there are some inaccuracies but, for me, it was just what I needed, right now, a relatively easy build. It enabled me to get more used to using a wheelchair in modelling before tackling something more...- BarryW
