Panavia Tornado IDS
« on: November 02, 2014, 08:11:17 AM »
Been a while since I did any profiles - found this nice line drawing of a Panavia Tornado IDS on Wikipedia and thought I would do a few color profiles. These are all countries that actually considered acquiring the Tornado, to one degree or another.

First up is one for Australia:

That is beautiful! I envy you guys who do these profiles so well. They always turn out so much better than my paint jobs!

I can really see the Canadian's getting Tornados.

A request:  A Chilien one? - as 'payback' for assistance in the Falklands War...

I'll see what I can come up with. Here's one for Japan:

We were actually part of the original MRCA project back in the beginning, along with France. I think we bailed first. :(
Second shot was the early 80s as part of the NFA program that led to us adopting the F-18.
Love the profiles!

How about the Tornado ECR or EF.3 as an EF-24 in USAF Wild Weasel markings?

I'm not planning on doing any other variants (ECR, ADV, etc.) that would require new linework. I think the Tornado Wild Weasel proposal had an enlarged housing on the tip of the vertical tail (similar to the EF-111 Raven).

Here's one for Jordan:

Very neat, Robert! So glad you're back! How about a Nigerian Air Force one? That might be a bit plausible.

Great to see you back, Robert! These are looking really nice.

Maybe another desert one? I'm thinking Qatar, Oman, Egypt, or something.

I have always thought the Tornado would have made a perfect replacement for the Phantoms and Buccaneers on the RNs CVA01 class carriers, had they ever been built.  ;)

Nice set of Tornados.  Could you please add one from the Mexican AF?

Thanks,
