Can beginners tackle the Italeri 2517?

A motivated beginner can complete the kit, but expect some small parts and detailed steps that reward prior modelling experience. Start with easy subassemblies and seek guidance from online build logs.

Are aftermarket upgrades common for this kit?

Yes, hobbyists often add photoetched sets, resin cockpit upgrades or resin ordnance to increase realism. Choose upgrades that match the Tornado ECR configuration you plan to depict.

How should I approach decals on curved surfaces?

Use a decal softening solution and warm water to position markings. Work slowly and use a cotton bud to press decals into recessed areas, then seal with a clear coat.

What finishing touches make the biggest difference?

Small details like cockpit harnesses, subtle panel line washes and careful exhaust staining lift the model from good to great at this scale.
