Panavia Tornado GR.1 "Snoopy Airways" Gulf War
Starting with the seats, with the Eduard GR.1 Seatbelt set!
A couple of hoses are needed on the side on the seat.
Time to do some scratch building! Wires in the back of the nav screens, and hoses made with sprue and wire
Here it is painted on the model
And with the screens
Putting the body together shows some gaps!
Cockpit coming together, with the front seat still unpainted
The IDS Kit luckily comes with RAF GR Equipment.
Good nozzles OOB
Nice rivet detail, briefly shown with a was on one of the panels.
Pre-Shading started!
Full cockpit in now, with the addition of the other seat.
Front view
Rear low view, I created a custom HUD for this too which I will show off later
Desert pink is on! A mix of XF-2, XF-7 and XF-59
Rear Tail with Paint details
Rear Nozzles, quite crude painting as these will be almost black anyway.
Underside, gear could be smoother
Front section with painting
Extra ordinance and surfaces.

Tom YeomanJames C, Hi! It was a mix of XF-2 Flat White, XF-59 Desert Yellow and XF-7 Flat Red, although I couldn't tell you the ratio. I started out using a mix of the three but it was way too dark, so I ended up having to go over it with a really thinned light pink colour to brighten it up. I know it was a very light mix in the end, I would say 3 parts white, 2 parts sand and 1 part red. Something around that, sorry for not being huge amount of help! Tom Y
