discussion 1/32 Revell Tornado IDS + extras

[AlanG]

I have a 1/32 Revell Tornado IDS (German version) sitting in my stash and ideally i'd like to try and make it into a XV® Sqn Tornado GR4.

Would this kit from Flightpath Resin convert it into a GR4 or are there airframe differences betwwen our tonka and theirs?

I'm also going to do a GR1 from XIV Sqn when i can eventually lay my hands on a GR1 kit

Hi Allyne, Looking at the Hannant website, if this is the sabe conversion Hannants - Flightpath UK FHP32007 1:32 then it is made for the Revell kit. Cheers Derek

Hi Allyne, see this link; looks as if the answer to your question is YES. - http://agapemodels.com/?p=2359 Cheers Derek

Have a look here for the GR 1 - Revell Tornado GR1 Model Super Decal inc Paint Glue RAF on eBay (end time 29-Sep-10 20:31:46 BST)

Allyne,

If you're after a 1/32 kit, whatever you do, don't get the Revell GR1 (Kit number 4760)! It is awful! I'm working on it at the moment and there is a great long list of problems with the kit itself - even before you start to look at how accurate it is!

I'll PM a list of problems I've come across.
