Overview of the Italeri 1/72 Tornado Gr.1 Gulf War RAF kit

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.
