The Tornado is a twin engine aircraft featuring variable-sweep wings, created by a coalition of British, German and Italian aerospace firms. It proved versatile in multiple roles but is particularly recognised for low level attack missions. The Tornado Gr.1 entered combat prominence in the 1991 Gulf War, where RAF aircraft participated in Operation Granby, operating from forward bases including Bahrain and Saudi Arabia.
This Italeri 1/72 model captures the Tornado Gr.1 profile and wartime appearance. The scale suits modellers who prefer neat assembly and historically accurate finishes. With careful painting and decal application, the kit makes a convincing addition to a Gulf War themed collection or a compact display stand.
