- Note the metal pitot tube that enhances realism
- This is a 1/144 scale plastic model assembly kit that reproduces the Tornado, an attack aircraft jointly developed by major European countries.
- This kit also includes a metal pitot tube
[About the actual machine]
- The Tornado is a multi-role attack aircraft jointly developed by the UK, West Germany, and Italy.
- It first flew in 1974, and began deployment and operation in 1979.
- The IDS attack aircraft, whose primary role was to carry out precision attacks at low altitudes, and the ADV air defense fighter aircraft, which was derived from this aircraft, were developed and deployed in combat by various countries from the 1980s.
- The aircraft features swing-wing configurations and two Turbo Union RB199-34R Mk103 engines.
- Demonstrated excellent short takeoff performance.
- Two passengers are in the aircraft: the pilot in the front seat and the navigator in the back seat.
- In addition to being used by the Tripartite Aircrew Training Organisation (TTTE), the German bomber and reconnaissance wings also use the aircraft.
[About the model]
- This is a 1/144 scale plastic model assembly kit that reproduces the Tornado, a multi-purpose attack aircraft developed by three European countries.
- The parts are manufactured by E-Toys and are easy to assemble. The set includes parts for two aircraft, and also includes a metal pitot tube.
- The aircraft is modeled after the Tornado IDS type. The finished overall length is 116mm.
- The fuselage shape is realistically reproduced, and the variable-wing design that is a characteristic of the Tornado can be moved even after completion.
- The cockpit also includes two crew figures.
- In addition, this kit also includes two metal pitot tubes that allow you to enjoy sharp expression. The difference in finish from the plastic parts is attractive.
- Markings are selected from those of the Tripartite Tornado Training Institute and Luftwaffe A Squadron in green camouflage, and those of the 33rd Fighter-Bomber Wing in grey camouflage.
