Tornado / Halinski / 1:33

hello friends!

As for the request of Robson, here are some images of My Tornado. It was one of my first airplanes from paper not designed by the IAF magazine.

The plane was built Out of the box, without any changes, only adding some wires in the landing gears.

My daughter, Shelly (shown in the small icon) helped me a lot, especially in the bombs and the small parts, where my clumsy fingers are helpless.

I hope you will enjoy it

Hi Heinz

Thank you

Hi Robson !

Thank you, I realy think I'm lucky to have a daughter who likes my hobby :super:

I have some special technic in airplanes:

1 - I'm scanninig the original in very high resolution in a proffesional scanner (at least 600 DPI). Scans with lower resoulution will not give the same result after repainting and proffesional printing.

2. - Making some color fixing (it is more obvious in vehicals)

3 - I'm printing the model on 2 kinds of special polished white paper in proffesional laser printer - 80 grams and 160 grams.

4 - I do the fuselage discs and then cover it with the thin paper. afterwards I'm covering it with the 160 drams. same technic with the wings.

This gives the model more rigid looks and the paper is much better than the original and gives the model some "metalic" look.

This technic is a little bit expensive because the cost of the printing(costs about 3 -4 times the price of the model), doubles the work time on the model, but I like the outcome.

As I said - it depends only with the polished white paper (not glossy), The proffesional printer, and very high resolution scanning.

Cheers
