That seat is absolutely beautiful. I'm about ready to put a gloss coat on the wings and main fuselage of my Tomcat and put it together. I also have the cockpit finished and closed, ready for base color coat. Thank you for reminding me of my second favorite swing wing aircraft, as I ordered the RAF Tornado in 1/72 by Revell, but that will likely be a project for next year, the same as my "proper" Draken. Due to the fact that the room I use for modelling is not heated, I'm only able to build more or less until the mid/late fall, so looks like the Tomcat will be the final project of the year.
Thank you, @CrazyChemistPL :) Yeah, the Tornado is a beast, even in 1/144 scale... I haven't noticed this aircraft until recently when a couple of scalemodeling buddies where talking about a group-build - but I ordered a book and a small kit to join them and the aircraft is growing on me; I will probably build more Tornados in the future ;) Good to hear that your Tomcat is moving forward, hope you can finish it before the temperature drops too much.
@@KillBoxScalemodelling The way I got introduced to the Tornado was some sort of a magazine, it might've even been a magazine that was sold with separate sprues for models, I remember building the first kit that got released with it, a really bad rendition of F-117. Anyway, back to Tornado, it had a bunch of images showing Desert Storm Tornados - sand camo, shark's mouth painted on noses - it looked mean and amazingly cool. Apparently the 1/72 Revell Tornado GR1 is a very good kit. I wish I could find decals for a Desert Storm plane, but the sheet it comes with is very good, very detailed, so I may well settle on a classic green over grey RAF camo.
