Why this aircraft matters
The Panavia Tornado IDS became one of Europe’s most important strike aircraft during the Cold War and post-Cold War era. Designed by a multinational team from Germany, Italy, and the United Kingdom, the aircraft specialised in low-level attack missions and maritime strike operations.
Aircraft 43+87 served with Marinefliegergeschwader 2 at Eggebek Naval Air Base in Germany. Its 1996 configuration with AS.34 Kormoran anti-ship missiles highlights the Tornado’s role in protecting NATO maritime operations and coastal defence missions.
The grey naval camouflage scheme and swept-wing design gave the Tornado IDS a distinct operational appearance. This 1:72 scale diecast model recreates that look with accurate markings and realistic weapons detail.
How to use it
