![]() Well the Holy Grail of Tornado kits landed yesterday and what a lovely feeling it was again having a 'new' GR.1 kit in my hands. First off I would like to thank Revell for the review sample and applaud them for obviously listening to modellers by re-issueing this iconic kit. So, whats in the box I hear you say. Well, there is seven sprues in light grey plastic and two in clear, the instruction booklet and a huge decal sheet. ![]() Markings are for :- ZG791 of 31 Sqn Bruggen 1995 80th Anniversary fin ZA462 AJ-M of 617 Sqn. Lossuemouth 1992 ZA447 EA 'Mig Eater' of RAF Tornado Det. Tabuk 1991 Decals are in perfect register with a plethora of stencils. As for the plastic, considering the moulds are 17 years old they are still relatively flash free. ![]() The RAF GR.1 specific sprue with 2250ltr fuel tanks, lbg's, 1000lb'ders, Sky Shadow and LRTMS pod. This version of the kit comes with a very good representation of the IDS/GR.1 instrument panels. ![]() ![]() ![]() Summary. Well, for one am delighted by this release as, currently, this is the best kit of the Tornado there is. Well, until Revell release there stunning 1/48 kit. This kit is highly recommended. Revell model kits are available from all good toy and model retailers. For details visit ; Revell Website Revell Facebook Edited by Johni044, Jan 4 2018, 08:54 PM.

Ok, so much for the kit. What about the build? Well, having built a few and read one or two online builds I think it best that I point out one or two things to watch for.![]() First up is the Sidewinders. Fairly straight-forward. DON'T put the fins on backwards. ![]() ![]() As for the exhaust parts (62 & 63) they should be identical when looking at them. To achieve the correct orientation cut off the small tab on part 62 and turn it 180 deg. ![]() Lastly, the intake vortex generator should only be present in the port side. So do not use part 75. ![]() There has been mention made in the past that the fin and front fuselage areas are not 100%. Well I, for one, am very happy with how it looks when built and I will certainly will be buying and building the Revell 1/32 Tornado for many, many years.
