    Italari 1/32 Panavia Tornado GR1

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    Italari 1/32 Panavia Tornado GR1

    I have a few more pictures for you. A close up of the nose wheel well, some very nice detail here. I have cemented into place the trunking. A close up of a main wheel well, The side panels fit beautifully, and along panel lines so no filling and sanding. This is an excellent kit. It is...

    Italari 1/32 Panavia Tornado GR1

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    Italari 1/48 v-22 Osprey

    Decals are on. I will be doing some light weathering then the final fittings. I am keeping the wearing lighter than usual as this is a development aircraft.

    Italari 1/48 v-22 Osprey

    The airframe is all dressed up in her sexy black undies. I have also sprayed the underside colour on the rotor assemblies, Light Ghost Grey. I will do this on the fuselage next and then some masking up to spray the Dark Ghost Grey topsides. all proceeding nicely

    Italari 1/48 v-22 Osprey

    I have been attaching some parts best attached before painting. That includes the canopy which I found to have gaps around it. I used Micro Kristal Klear to fill the gaps. That way no white filler will show when looking into the cockpit. I did lose one part but was able to make another from...

    Italari 1/48 v-22 Osprey

    I have been dealing with some very stubborn fuselage seams but all done now though they will need some revisiting after primer. Consequently I have glued the tail and wings into place. These too will need some attention at the joins, then this the main airframe will be ready for primer. I...

    Italari 1/48 v-22 Osprey

    I have managed to get in some bench time over Christmas. Fuselage halves joined and liquid gravity added. Just need to do some cleanup. The rotors are assembled, again some clean up needed. Undercarriage painted and weathered as well. I am expecting to get more bench time over the...

    Italari 1/48 v-22 Osprey

    A few more progress pictures. internals fit OK except the rear ramp. It is OK for positioning down but to have it up I needed to sand a fair bit off the inner edge. i also need to position a fair bit of ballast in the front and there is limited space. So I used plastic sheet to block a hole...

    Italari 1/48 v-22 Osprey

    I have painted the interior and done some dry brushing. Little if anything of this behind the bulkhead will be seen. I have also pulled together a couple of the sub-assemblies ready to fit into the interior. The small window transparencies have also been added, these had a perfect fit, I used a...

    Italari 1/48 v-22 Osprey

    This really is a nice straight forward kit. A little lacking in detail which makes it a good base for detailing. I don’t know about accuracy as I have not researched the subject, doing as I am an OOB build. It is going together well, a little filler and strengthening here and there as...
