FM Tornados?

I am looking to add some tornados to my collection and was wanting to know what the general consensus was about which FM tornados were the best? Not to concerned about nationality (would like a couple of each nationality) or scheme. Don't mind really funky schemes if it is a more accurate model.

I've got this one (B11E094) and really like it. Not sure of the accuracy of the mold. Wings are stationary.

Re: FM Tornados?

I do not have any tornados yet but I'm definitely thinking about getting these 3:

LUFTWAFFE - JABO G 32 LECHFELD - TIGERMEET 2001/2002 (B11E403)
U.K. ROYAL AIR FORCE - XV SQDN. 617 SQDN. - OPERATION "GRAMBY" (B11B272)
BUNDESMARINE, MARINEFLIEGER MFG 1-2 (B11B274)

Anybody can provide a quick review?

Uhm, good question!

I currently have 8 Tornados...

I'd say the best three are these:

B271 RAF Hereward
B272 RAF Desert Storm
B274 IDS Marineflieger

Nothing gaudy about the paint schemes...
