Hi Konrad, thanks. It was my first model after about 20 years of abstinence from plastic models. I had some issues with the air intakes, they were awful. If you decide to build the flaps in lowered position like me, they need to be shortened - otherwise they can't be installed. The canopy cannot be closed (see pictures) - I haven't figured out yet why. For painting it was closed - after this I installed the locking mechanism - maybe thats the problem and there is a clash somewhere... The wheels are terrible - I recommend aftermarket wheels. And the decals at the horizontal stabilisier are a bit tricky. They are a bit too large to the front. The left one got markings for cutouts for those little thingies - the right one does not have them. Transfer them from the left one.
But in the end you got a nice looking Tornado from JaBoG 33 in Büchel (now TaktLwG 33). Have fun, Chris

Thanks for your explanations. Yeah there are some fit issues 🙂!
I'll show the flaps also in lowered position. But I've choose a common three tone camo with complete weapons load. At the moment I'm on the priming process.
By the way you've done a great job on a not so easy kit after 20 years of modelling abstinente 👍!
