Auto Credit Based on Kaiser7's [CLOSED] 50 PARTS OR LESS CHALLENGE
Panavia Tornado 50 Part Challenge Entry
I always fancied entering the low part challenges as even I can cobble 50 parts together in a day - much to the wrath of the long haired general.....
Replica Tornado built 1:1 but may be a few inches out as I wasn't watching closely (I ought to be shot I know!)
Missiles, bombs, guns and counter measures are included. Wing swing as per plan drawing I followed - bombs also pivot with the changing angle of the wing.
Controls are best with mouse/joystick - but then again I'm sure it will be handed over to the AI to be used as bait :)
Controls
AG 1 - Wing sweep
VTOL - Flaps
I found this a pleasant low part distraction, enjoy and good luck to the other entries!

Glad you're back! @GhostHTX (and seemingly to stay!!) I normally build over a period of months/years so this sort of challenge was refreshing but nonetheless damn vexing to meet the requirements.
Holy crap - this is some low part count loveliness.
@Tang0five Thanks to you as well. As an amateur/beginner, I appreciate the feedback from a seasoned SP creator!
Cheers, very kind of you! @Krikkit42 yeah I didn’t realise how hard it is to build with 50pts or less - I like the look of your entry I’ll have to take it for a spin!
This is amazing! The Tornado would’ve been my choice for a 50pt replica as well. It’s a shame only one entry is allowed. I tried my hand at a low part Tornadof or fun but already failed miserably. Instead I now took the liberty of modifying your build slightly for my own enjoyment and stuck two actual 27mm cannons in the nose. Now goes BRRRRRRT! Cuz let’s be real: who needs bombs anyway!! ;-)
