Tornado IDS - Emmerian Air Force

Here are the photos of the finished Tornado IDS of the Republic of Emmeria Air Force from Ace Combat 6.
For the placement of the emblems and aircraft numbers I decided to stick with the way the Luftwaffe does it.

The final result is quite nice but somehow I am really cursed when I work on Tornados. I still need to update the project because I used the Revell ASSTA Tornado instead because I trashed the HobbyBoss one while I worked on the modifications and resin upgrades. A similar fate befell all my resin upgrade kits and weapons. I don't know how but I somehow broke too much stuff or lost little parts of the missiles and so on. The only thing that survived were the cluster ammo dispensers.
I think I'll take some distance from resin upgrades for a while now.

I made most of the decals myself, tracing them in a software and created svgs that I could scale as I need them. The (custom) squadron emblem with the owl was done by a friend of mine. Thank you very much again! ❤️️

All in all the result isn't bad at least but I wanted to just get it over with at some point. It could have been a much cleaner build but... oh well...
More model kits need to be assembled.

Cheers!

Looks good! But I understand some builds are like that, they stop being fun halfway through and you just want them over with.

I'm with you though...unless a kit part is really bad, I'm starting to avoid aftermarket bits. Working with resin, etc. can really push the build into "no fun" territory if it's fiddly or doesn't fit well.

Very nicely done mate, that paint work looks fantastic. Dirty, but not overdone. 👍
