Academy Panavia Tornado Gr.Mk.I | Full Build 1/144 Scale Plastic Model Kit | Review

- The Panavia Tornado was designed and built through the cooperation of a number of nations including the UK, Germany, Italy and the Netherlands. The Tornado entered Royal Air Force service in 1980 as the GR.Mk1 but didn't face it's combat debut until a decade later, when, in 1991 they took part in Operation GRANBY, which was the British contribution to the Gulf War.
Repainted in desert pink to help camouflage the aircraft, they were used to great success to neutralise enemy ground defences using both guided and unguided munitions. The Tornado was designed with variable geometry wings which swept back to achieve high speeds and extended to improve slower speed handling.
Capable of reaching over Mach 2 and armed with not only an internally mounted 27mm cannon, but also a variety of air to air and air to ground munitions, the tornado became part of the backbone of the RAFs defensive and offensive aircraft. Receiving many upgrades over its long service life it was finally withdrawn from the RAF in 2019.

I bought this kit today because I saw it in hobby craft when I went in for paint. Cool video
Thanks for watching! I had seen that hobbycraft was now stocking these cheap kits in their webstore
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 👍
Thanks! :D
Looks like an amazing tornado
Thanks :D
Nothing like a Tonka to brighten the day, nice build!
Thanks!
It was my first set that's brilliant
nice video btw
Cool, thanks!
Bet you enjoyed such a small build. It must have been fun 🙂
It was alright to build, but not as fun as the Airfix Typhoon
Really love your builds bro keep it up
Glad you like them!
What an adorable little bird
haha thanks
@@ModelMinutes np
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.
these are excellent points!
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!
Thanks for the info, despite the cockpit issues on the dragon kit it still sounds like it will be a good build
@@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?
@@johnashley-smith4987 Thanks for the info, i'll have to keep an eye out. I've not built a classic 1/600 scale ship yet
Try the Revell kit, its much better that this and the Dragon kit. The Dragon kit isn't bad but the Revell is nicer to build, cleaner with crisper detail.
@@jaybe2908 I agree, of all the Tornado kits in 1/144th, the Revell are the best in detail and molding quality. I have two!
AWESOME
Thanks 🤗
Sorry I missed the premier! Great build !
No worries, always next time!
same
Looking forward
:)
Wow! you did a great job, I have never done a 1/144 scale model before, but i'm thinking of trying this one to see what it's like. Dunno how I feel about the weathering, personally I prefer a "fresh off the assembly line" look but overall you did a really good job.
thanks! You should give some 1/144 kits a go :)
@@ModelMinutes Alright! This kit looks like a good place to start, and I won't have to worry about space once I'm done!
The varying tones of the Desert Pink makes it more realistic, given the fairly hasty way in which the Granby Tornados were painted.
:D
Cool!!
Thanks!
Your content is amazing, i really like It.
@@marcosgarcia4467 Thanks! I appreciate your support :D
This is a good video you get my like
Thanks! :D
Yes, academy again!
:D
This will be nice
I hope so!
To be fair Matt points out where the areas are that aren't the best, and its true it's not his finest hour but i watched the vid to the end before commenting. Some models can drain your mojo for one reason or another and fair go to the bloke, he finished it AND completed the video and all that entails.
Thanks! Yes, as a self-styled reviewer, I think it's only fair to give an honest opinion, good and bad
I was in class when this was live so I missed it
That's a shame, maybe next time :)
I was at scouts
Same here
Nice change of pace kit. A little bit of an eye stainer.
yeah, small scale is hard to do sometimes
Wow
:D
Will you continue brush painting for future models? Great video
There will be a mix of both airbrush only and hand painted only models
WILL BEGIN SHPRTYLLLLY
:D
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.
Sounds like you managed to make a silk purse out of a pigs ear!
I like the tornado because one time I sat In the cockpit I have the revell tornado
nice! That must have been a cool experience
Ye I enjoyed it I went with my scouts
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)
Thanks for the info
Only 1 hour left to go!
:D
I reckon the new 1/32 Italeri Tornado should be built next👍
Thanks for the idea!
@@ModelMinutes I think it would be a fantastic comparison to your brilliant 1/144 Tonka. It costs a few bob though. Your airbrush will come in handy👍
@@PeteCourtier I’m sure it would!
Yayyyyyyy! I can't believe 3 people disliked this...
Recommendation:
Use tamiya extra thin quick setting. Smells awful, works great.
Thanks for the tip!
If the smell really bugs you, then use Mr.cement S or SP, they work very well, better than tamiya extra thin cement from my experience
@@KJ-kn8pg from my experience tamiya holds the stronger bond.
does striping the paint also strip the glue
Depends on what the glue is - it can happen but if the plastic is welded together with poly cement it is unlikely
Imho:the best academy 1/144 kit is rockwell b1b but asmodern tooling kit it is a bit expensive.(30€).
Thanks for the info, might have to look it up
Looking forward to seeing u build the kt
:D
👍
:D
God damn, how would pilots in 1/144 look like, even so, how would you paint them... Isn't painting figures in 1/72 already stressful enough? 😅
All in all nice small antidepressant build
Thanks! I have painted N gauge figures (1/148 scale) before, and they are pretty much just blobs
How can you properly brush paint with tamyia?
make sure it's thinned with their thinner - water isn't really enough for it
@@ModelMinutes yeah I have been doing that but I do a 1-2 ratio of thinner to paint but I still get brush marks and large shiny areas of paint
@@scalesmodellingmagic5883 maybe increase the ratio of thinner to 1:1
@@ModelMinutes how do I achieve a 1:1 ratio
@@scalesmodellingmagic5883 it's equal amounts. One part paint to one part thinner. Or in other words, for every drop of paint you add a drop of thinner
I have had the same problem with my Sherman for no motivation to finish it
Comes and goes sadly
FOUR !!!!
:D
The sweaty modelers passing out cuz or the seam line hahhahahahahha
Lol, yeah, I know - I just didn't see the point in fixing it (I knew it would upset some people)
Are they like: the year is 2020 like my vision and that seem line is annoy
I feel like you should take more time when you're building your kits. The painting looks nice, but there are seamlines and gaps everywhere, all of which can be easily fixed with some time and patience.
Thanks for the suggestion. Yes, i suppose I could take more time doing that - but this one was an "older kit" that I just needed to be finished. I didn't find any joy in fixing the problems with this model. Don't forget that I am a review channel as well - so sometimes I leave these seams and things so that people can see them and be aware of the shortcomings the kit has
Didn't tutorials have the floppy wings things to make it more aro dynameic
Torndos*
You mean they can "swing" them
Yes
84 minutes :D
Haha!
I like the tornado.. I don't know why
It's a pretty cool plane
Yes
4 hours :D
:D
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.
Yeah, I thought that might have had something to do with it but I wasn't sure
FIVE !INUTES!!!!
:D
THREEEEEEEE
:D
This jet. Is on Amazon for 5 bucks plus shipping like 8-10 bucks I got one the other day tiger german decals
nice
Ahhhh
:D
3hours 😀
:)
i buy academy 1/114 mig 23 a long time ago and the variable swept wing doesn't align properly so i left it untouched 😂
I've got one of those in the stash, so I have that joy to look forward to :P
I can pronounce it now
Haha!
seems to small for Mr Airbrush
Could have done this with an airbrush, just didn't really want to seeing as I started it in 2019 by handpainting
How do you manage to work on something so small. Building an airliner in this scale is bad enough
just patience really
2 hours
:D
EH
:D
Academy decals are the worst I still have nightmares from my academy 1/72 spas XIII that kit is by far the worst I have ever built
yeah, they are pretty bad
