Xtradecal has released a new decal sheet covering three RAF Tornado GR.4 / GR.4A Special and Retirement colour schemes for 1/48 scale kits.

 

 

Three striking schemes are offered. Details of the three aircraft are as follows:

  • Tornado GR.4 ZD716 ‘DH’ crewed by Flt. Lt. N. Shawyer and Wg. Cdr. M. J. Bressani. 31 Sqn RAF Marham March 2019

  • Tornado GR.4 ZG752 crewed by Sqn. Ldr. I. Dornan and Sqn. Ldr. S. Beardmore IX(B) & 31 Sqn RAF Marham March 2019

  • Tornado GR.4 ZG775 ‘AF’ crewed by Wg. Cdr. J. D. Heeps and Sqn. Ldr. C. A. Bostrom IX(B) Sqn RAF Marham March 2019

Instructions for the decal sheet are in full colour across one folded double-sided A4 and one double-sided A5 sheets. Both side views are provided for the three schemes. Generic upper and lower diagrams are supplied for the grey and disruptive schemes.

 

 

Colour notes are offered, along with model paint callouts for Xtracolor enamels and Xtracrylix acrylics.

As usual, the decals are beautifully printed and feature thin carrier film.

 

 

A smaller second sheet is supplied as a correction for the "shadow" Tornado on the fin of ZG775.

 

 

This new Xtradecal release will be ideal to add that unique finishing touch to your 1/48 scale RAF Tornado kits.
