I looked around and found Revell has some very interesting Tornado schemes, how does Revell's quality compares with the Corgi's?

I quite like the Revell Tornado. The detailng is every bit as good as Corgi. If you are someone who prefers to display the aircraft on a stand, then you need to stick with Corgi. The great thing about Revell was the different squadrons they tackled. It is a pity that they withdrew from the market.

I have 3 of the Corgi subject but have not even seen the Revell.
I love the Corgi versions I have though! The W. German Marine is very nice, but my #1 is the Red, White and Blue Royal Aircraft Establishment version, Very nice!

Hhmmm. Likewise. I haven't seen the Revell one either. I have 2 Corgi Tornados, both in German colours.

I'm looking forward to adding the HM F104 and Mig21 in German schemes to my two.

The only RAE aircraft I have is the Buccanneer and its great. The very aircraft in fact operates out of Cape Town!

guess i was lucky to get my hands on a Revell Tornado.
I appreciate the finer panel lines and detailed cockpit interior/exterior (riveted canopy?!), but ordnance is flimsy and would not stay in its place, but verall, i prefer Revell's effort vs. Corgi's.

I couldn't agree more on the R-W-B RAE Tornado - it was the first Corgi Jet I purchased. I also have the others now - ALL Corgis!

The Tornado is one of my all-time favorite planes and for that reason have three - all from Corgi. I have only seen the Revell model in pics but it does look quite nice. However, the lack of a stand would be a deal breaker with me.

Sounds like I may have the same three as Woodman. My favorite (at this time anyway) is the German Marine version followed by the BAE version. I really don't think you can go wrong with any of the Corgi Tornados though.

revell's is more refined as its the plastic kit by revell retooled in diecast
more accurate but ordanance and pylons flimsy
