Well that pretty well tears it. Sounds like revell gets the cash and I save 12 bucks which I will go ahead and spend on another kit anyway.
Surprising, you have more than a closet-full of kits but no Tornado? That's blasphemy!!
Looking into your thread I came across this site that may give you some pointers. Like Terry I'm a 1:48 man and am just completing an Italeri F.3 Tornado kit which is being followed up by a couple of the same in a very inferior Airfix kit.

Hope it's of help
I'm not sure, but I think I saw 1/72nd scale decals for Op Granby, covering Tornados, Buccaneers and Jaguars, at Hannant's web-site. I think they might be Xtradecal sheets.
Dwight, I might be wrong about the decals being Xtradecal, but I've definitely seen some advertised recently, either on Hannants weekly e-mail newsletter, or maybe in the TAHS catalogue. Leave it with me and I'll see what I can find. BTW, I think I might have some colour pics of Tornados in Gulf 1 somewhere, probably in a RAF Year Book Special from the time. I might have some from Gulf 2, The Sequel as well!
Dwight, looking at the Patrick Vossenberg review, he talks about Operation Granby as being the theme for his model and I see he had done tail ZD739/AC. If this is a Granby operation a/c then the decals are available through Hannants at:
Hannants - Hi Decal HD72001 - 1:72
Another option seems to be:
Hannants - Model Alliance ML72110 - 1:72
Hope this helps
