Panavia Tornado GR.1 - No. 20 Squadron, RAF, Wildenrath, Germany, 1984
1:72 scale. Length: 9.25”. Wingspan: 7.75"
The Panavia Tornado incorporates variable geometry wings able to sweep through 43 degrees, which in conjunction with two Turbo Union advanced turbofan engines and highly sophisticated avionics, make it possible for the tornado to achieve all weather penetration of enemy airspace.
The Panavia Tornado was jointly developed by the United Kingdom, West Germany and Italy in three primary versions: the Tornado IDS (Interdictor /Strike) fighter-bomber, the ECR (Electronic Combat/Reconnaissance) and the ADV (Air Defense Variant) Interceptor. The Tornado is one of the world’s most sophisticated and capable interdiction and attack aircraft with a large payload, long range and high survivability. During 1984, No.20 Squadron re-equipped with Tornado GR.1s at RAF Wildenrath, Germany, and these remained until the unit disbanded in May 1992.
