PICS SORTED 1/48 Italeri Italian AF Tornado display

[Pcxr]

One of the highlights of RIAT 2017 for me was the Tornado display from the Italian Air Force 311 Gruppo with its striking all over special scheme.

This is Italeri 1/48 kit and I must say I found it really good and although the decals were a challenge well worth it.

The kit went together easily and in a couple of hours from opening the box I had the main structure complete and in white paint.

The decals are of good quality and the pattern matches nicely. Lots of Micro Sol and patience to conform them to the shape.
