Hello there,

I am building a 1/32 Gulf War RAF Tornado GR.1, but for reasons that have come to regret, I decided to use a 1/32 Revell Tornado ECR Tigermeet kit (that I picked up for next to nothing) as my starting point.

I have NEARLY all the parts I need, but I am still trying to source the (RAF exclusive) LRMTS pod (its next to the front carriage), and the RAF GR.1 style drop tanks and ordinance . Does anybody have any spare?? Ideally, I would like the entire GR.1 specific sprue from a Revell GR.1 kit.

I am willing to swap for most of my un-needed ECR sprue, or the Luftwaffe Tigermeet decals which come with the kit. Or pay hard earned money if that what you need!

Any help would be appreciated!

Howdy Edd,

First let me welcome you to the forum, we are glad you are here.
Now, onto your problem. I dont have the parts in question or even the kit, however, get your kit number, model name, scale and parts needed (either the entire sprue or just the part numbers) all together and email revell-germany here at this address:

E-Mail:

Explain to them what you need and I am sure you can probably purchase the parts. But like i said, you will have to have all kit information ready when you email them.
I would address the email to "customer service" since this isnt a "quality control" problem.
Anyway, again, welcome to the forums and i hope this has been of some help to you.
Oh and if the kit is not from revell germany, let me know and i can get you the contact email for their other branch.

Have a good day,

Greg aka GEEDUBBYA (GW)

Thanks very much for your reply - I'll definitely give it a go!

I still have a few problems however - as I am building from the Tornado ECR kit, I do not have any kit or part numbers for a Tornado GR.1 kit. Does anyone know where I can get this information? A copy of the instructions for a Revell Tornado GR.1 kit would be even better if someone has these on their computer or knows where to get them?

Thanks again!

Howdy again Edd,

Ok, this is a long shot, but you might try this:

I searched some of my favorite modelling sites online and went to Welcome to Cybermodeler Online! from there I searched for 1/32 kits by revell and found this Tornado GR.1 build review : Revell-Monogram 1/32 Tornado GR.1

I also found photos of all the sprues for the kit at another site: Revell's 1/32 Panavia Tornado GR.1 however upon further research (trying to find you an email addresses to use to contact the author, I found that it took me back to the cyber modeller site).

So,knowing that most modelers throw away the kit box when completing the model but keep the instructions, I would suggest you contact the author of the build thread at the cybermodeler site.

The Authors name is Mike williams. You might try contacting him via email at or by clicking on his name in the build thread above and asking him to look over his copy of the instructions (providing he kept them) and get him to tell you the sprue "letter" of the parts you need and/or the part numbers.
Then you can contact revell-germany with the information.

I know this seems like alot of running around to do, but, I was merely trying to find you the fastest route to the parts needed without you having to purchase the kit again.

However, in my searches i did find these kits listed on ebay:

1/32 Aircraft Model Revell Tornado - eBay (item 120228112678 end time Mar-05-08 10:58:01 PST)

Revell 1/32 Marineflieger Panavia Tornado GR Mk.1 - eBay (item 310028167743 end time Mar-08-08 17:00:25 PST)

The first one is only $9.99 (US) as of this posting with an hour and 4 min. to go, the second listing is only $5.00 (US) with 3 days and 9 hours to go.

You can find all six listings for this kit on ebay at : Search results for 1:32 Scale 1/32 TORNADO in Models & Kits


I hope this has been of some help to you,

have a good day,

Greg

Cheers for the help Gregg -

I had a real stroke of luck - I found a half-made Revell GR.1 on eBay, and won it for £12.50! It had every single one of the bits I needed still on the sprues, as well as the instructions!

Thanks again for the help,

Edd
