Here is my Tornado of the German navy in 1/144. Years ago I got this nice kit from my friend Matthias - Thanks, once again!

I decided to show my model airborne and added two figures from Heroes Models (
https://heroesmodels.it/ ).
I guess because of demolding, the shape of the fins of the AS.34 Kormoran anti ship missiles were wrong. I replaced them by self made parts out of 0.5 mm polystyrene.
The nose inside the kit shows the longer nose of the ADV-version which does not fit to a German Tornado, because there are only the IDS and ECR versions in the German forces. So I brought views into the right size and made the correct nose out of polystyrene.
The thickness of the intakes was too much, so I removed some material there on the inner sides.
Further I added a pitot tube out of stretched sprue and the small antennas right behind the
radom.
The model was painted with brush and colors from Humbrol and Revell (enamels). With a sponge I painted the typical dirt caused my the thrust reversers on
the vertical stabilizer.
The decals were a bit stiff, so I had to use mark softer.
The model was sealed with flat varnish from Tamiya.
