    Well done for not leaving it on the ‘shelf of doom’ 😀 I’ve built a couple of Revell 1:144 kits, they are quite nice with much more detail. Quite like doing a quick 1:144 every now and then. Nice build 👍

    People are saying that your modelling isnt right and its done wrong, but there is no "proper perfect" way to build a kit, its how YOU build and as long as it looks like that plane it should look like, then im happy.

    The varying tones of the Desert Pink makes it more realistic, given the fairly hasty way in which the Granby Tornados were painted.

    Nice save ! I have the Dragon version of this aircraft in this scheme. It's been on the " to build" stack for a while. Seeing your build of the Academy version may spurr me to break it out and finally build it. It has excellent discreet panel lines and an accurate selection of underwing stores.The only place it falls down is in the cockpit. A blob like aglommeration to represent pilots, and seats,,with no other interior details.
    I have always liked the look of the Tornado,and 1/144th is my go-to scale for aircraft these days. I live in a small place with limited display space so the smaller kits are simply more practical.
    Thanks for the video!

      @@ModelMinutes Thanks for the reply! If you can find any of the Dragon 1/144th range, I highly recommend them. Although they are getting scarce these days, there is a large number of cold-war era jets and helicopters , both western and east-bloc in a variety of markings.
      While the parts are often attached by massive sprue gates at times, they are very nicely done for the scale for their era. Decal sheets were well printed and in register, with stencils and weapon decals included. Again, the place where they fall down is the cockpit. I've scratchbuilt interiors with these in my previous builds, but it requires a bit of head-scratching, test fitting and scratchbuilding ship-in-a-bottle style!
      Thanks again ! Looking forward to see what you build next! Ever try one of the classic Airfix 1/600 ships?

    The Gulf War is really a war that despite being fairly recent is quite an untold war, brutal as hell, 6 weeks of fighting lead to 30-100,000 Iraqis KIA with the loss of 147 combat fatalities in Coalition forces, 1 day 2 A10 Warthogs knocked out 23 Iraqi tanks, Battle of 73 Easting between VII Corps and 3 Iraqi tank divisions with 4 Infantry divisions, US Lost 1 man killed in action and 1 Bradley, compared to the Iraqi losses as high as 1000 KIA and 85 tanks destroyed, short and brutal war but gets little media attention (only a handful of films made about Desert Storm and Desert Shield)

    The first paintjob turned out to be bad because you can't really mix Tamiya with 'normal' acrylics. Even though Tamiya calls their paints acrylic, they're alcohol based while most of the acrylic model and craft paints are water based.

    Beautifully done and a great video build again. I love the Tonka. I built 2 of these. I had exactly the same progress as you. First one was brush painted and I was just a newbie to scale modeling back then. I wasn't too happy with the paint job initially so 4 years later (2020) is when I built one more. This time it was airbrushed and I scratch built a few weapons to depict what this jet carried during the Gulf War. I scratch built three 250kg bombs, the Thomson chaff dispenser, and a JP233 runway cratering bomblet dispenser. Overall the second time it turned out much better. I felt a bit of scratch building did add on to the looks of it. But for an extremely cheap kit it was worth the effort. Please do follow me on Instagram. I'd like to share my work with you too.
