1/72 Matchbox Panavia Tornado

Since I resumed construction after 30 (!) Years, there are some aircraft that are high on my wish list.  The Tornado is one of them!

After some searching online, I found my favorite, a classic Matchbox kit.

I am new user of airbrush and I learn new things with each model I build. Pre-shade is something new for me...

I used two different gray colors, Model Master, and tried to make it look like the color was faded a little.

I looked at pictures of the Tornado and saw the fin often became heavily soiled, and since I now have an airbrush, I saw this as a wonderful challenge! I used Tamiya smoke and NATO Black.
