Scale representation of the Italeri 1/48 Tornado GR.1/IDS

The Tornado GR.1/IDS is a noteworthy multirole aircraft created by collaborative European design teams. Its twin-engined layout and swing-wing system allowed flexible mission profiles, from strike runs to electronic reconnaissance.

Service record and flight capabilities

The type became widely known during the 1991 Gulf War where it performed precision low-level attacks. Powered by twin afterburning turbofans, the Tornado can reach top speeds around Mach 2.2 in suitable flight regimes.

Model highlights for hobbyists

This Italeri 1/48 kit presents parts and decals to faithfully reproduce the Tornado GR.1/IDS. A colour assembly guide helps with painting and markings while the super decals sheet provides six different finish options for authentic builds.

Specifications

  • Built to a 1/48 scale
  • Material - PS plastic
  • Assembly - glue required
  • Comes with a super decals sheet covering six markings

Is this kit suitable for display or diorama work?

The detailed parts and multiple decal schemes make the kit well suited to static displays and small dioramas, especially those showing ground support or desert operations.

How accurate are the cockpit and external details?

The kit offers good cockpit and surface detail for its scale. Builders wanting finer detail often add aftermarket resin cockpits or photoetched parts to enhance realism.

What adhesives and paints work best?

Standard polystyrene plastic cement and cyanoacrylate for small joins work well. Use model acrylics or enamels following the colour guide for accurate finishes.

Does the kit include weathering guidance?

The instruction sheet focuses on assembly and paint placement; weathering techniques are left to the modeller, allowing personal choice on wear, grime and operational effects.
