Tornado
 
Anyone know who makes the Tornado kit like the one at Superman last year. I think it's the the former ITP kit from Italy. Looks like an interesting project. Anyone have one?

JetMart USA has the molds etc. but they are in the middle of renovating/relocating their business.

My friend in Florida has two - both Turbine conversions with scale gear etc. He is adding all scale details right now like LE flaps, spoilers etc. and the last pictures I saw where eye opening. He will probably have it flying at Superman.

Awesome projects!

Hey Mikey, :stupid:
You have cracked too far!!! :D Oldsmobile never made a TORNADO. The car (Land Barge) they made was a TORONADO, the sister car was the Cadillac Eldorado.

tornado or toronado
 
Either way you say it, one fact remains, it was a POS

The Toronado was a very cool car, WAYYYYY ahead of its time. Front wheel drive, you know? The early ones had some really interesting styling. I drove one of the first ones the other day, a really interesting car...so there!

OK guys, we digress. Anyone heard of the Masterfly Tornado? I think they bought out ITP. And no, I don't think their kit has a four-bolt main or front wheel drive. It should have a back seat..

You guys are nuts!

The masterfly is the same kit as the ITP. Jetcat does have the molds, from what I have heard, but the swing-wing mechanism is not available. One from their F14 or Yellow's might do, though.
I USED to own one of these, a really neat kit. Wish I had not sold it, but it would not fit into my car at the time...

Easytiger I think I ended up with your Tornado....If you want it back, email me. I have done some mods to it for Turbine use. Ken H
