So I've heard. I have a Italeri Tornado ADV that I've started. It's a horrible kit. Nothing fits, gaps and steps ever where. I may look at it again. It's sitting on the shelf of doom at the moment.

The Italeri, Esci, and Airfix Tornado kits are the oldest ones out there in 1/48. Hobbyboss and Revell German make the most up to date new tool kits.

That's about right Carlos!

I know what you mean - I started the Airfix kit ages ago and it doesn't inspire me to build it very much, same goes with the harrier...

All of those kits are really beautiful! For me, the twin boom and asymmetrical folding wings of the Sea Vixen were really intriguing design features. I thought Carlos would like this because of his Vampire, actually! Hah.
