:shocked: How is this my fault?? Two Super Hornets on the bench should be more of a "what not to do"!!! :giggles:

Nice work on both Tornadoes!

Two 1/48 Tornados at once? You’re a bold man Stuart! But I think that you’ve got this well in hand.

Yeah well, I suspect two of these at the same time is probably a bad idea too - we'll see how it goes!

Thanks Carlos! They're pretty simple kits once you get past the fit issues, so it shouldn't be too difficult to keep them both going!

I've finished with the filling and sanding... I hope... On to rescribing the lost detail.

You still have the intakes and tail to deal with on both... but the fuselages were the biggest challenge I imagine.

Yeah that's the truth Carlos - pretty much every mating surface on this kit requires attention, but I'm glad to have got over this hurdle.

Start sorting out bits that aren't the fuselage... :grin:

You don't want to see the fit of the intakes - they're going to require a fair degree of work even before I fit them to the fuselage...

Why of why do I do this to myself... :headslap: :giggles:

Why did you do this? Because you like Tornados and wanted more in your collection. :tease:
