- Tornado with special markings that stand out on the aircraft, now available in 1/144 scale
[About the actual machine]
- The Tornado is a multi-purpose attack aircraft that was jointly developed by the United Kingdom, West Germany, and Italy.
- First flight in 1974, deployment and operation began in 1979.
- The attack aircraft type IDS, whose main mission is low-altitude precision attacks, and the air defense fighter type ADV, which is derived from that aircraft, were developed and have been deployed in combat in various countries since the 1980s.
- The Royal Air Force operated the Tornado IDS under the name Tornado GR.1.
- The main wing uses variable wings, and the engine is equipped with two turbo union RB199-34RMk103.
- Demonstrated high short-range takeoff performance. There are two people on board: the pilot in the front seat and the navigator in the back seat.
- The Tornado, which has a long history since its first flight in 1974, attracted attention with special livery aircraft being unveiled at events and milestones.
[About the model]
- This is a 1/144 scale plastic model assembly kit that reproduces the Panavia Tornado, a multi-purpose attack aircraft jointly developed by three European countries.
- The parts are made by F-toys and are easy to assemble, and the set includes parts for 2 aircraft.
- Modeled after Tornado's IDS, GR.1. The finished total length is 11.6cm.
- Realistically reproduce the aircraft shape and panel lines. Of course, the Tornado's characteristic variable-wing main wings are movable even after completion. You can enjoy the difference in facial expressions.
- The cockpit has been faithfully recreated, and figures of two crew members are also included. Two types of special coating machines are available for marking. One was produced in 2001 to commemorate the 125,000 total flight hours achieved by aircraft belonging to the Luftwaffe's 31st Fighter Bomber Wing, and the other was produced in 1990 to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the founding of the Royal Air Force's 16th Squadron. This is a commemorative painting machine made to commemorate the occasion.
- It is a kit whose form is even more eye-catching with its black fuselage and special markings.
