The Italeri 1/32 Tornado GR.4 kit offers a hands-on build that captures the character of the GR.4 variant. Produced from a joint European development, the Tornado is recognised for its low-level strike role and this model reproduces key structural and aerodynamic features at scale.
Originally fielded as the Tornado IDS and later designated GR.1 by the RAF, the platform was enhanced to GR.4 status in 1996. The GR.4 upgrade introduced modern avionics and weapon systems compatibility, improving mission precision with armaments like the GBU-12 Paveway IV.
The kit totals 361 parts and includes photo-etched elements for fine surface detail. It features a removable RB199 engine with trolley, functioning control surfaces including slats and flaps, and configurable thrust reversers and air brakes. Rubber tyres and a comprehensive decal sheet for four markings complete the package.
The Italeri 1/32 Tornado GR.4 is prized for its realistic engineering cues and display flexibility. Whether part of a themed collection or a standalone model, it offers authenticity and a rewarding build process for collectors and modellers.
