Panavia IDS Tornado...

 I dont know why, I'm a fan of this aircraft. Clearly, this kind of subject is not in my focus but I can not fight against its charm.

Its strong personality and beauty, finally caught my total attention. Really, I have no reason at all to do this project...simply, I felt in love with this machine. 

A lot of years ago, my wife, in our first year, give me this Italeri 1/72 kit because she thought that it looks "cute". Well, after open the box and cut out some pieces from sprues, the magic happens...

What to say about this kit...well done but not a fantastic one. This is a basic quality molds, but good enough looking at the costs. Moreover, the final result is a very decent and attractive model.

Grunau 9...

This time, I just finished this nice Huma kit, 1/72 Grunau 9 glider. Another little gem from this german company.
Grunau 9 and the Schneider SG38 was the main stream gliders in the new Germany of 1930's. By today standards, fly in this crude machines should be prohibited because the high risk of accident. Indeed, a high number of enthusiasts ended their trips with a head's fracture.
