The primary requirement however was to develop a ‘state of the art’ modern aircraft able to perform low-altitude penetrating strike missions. This need was met by the development of a twin-engine combat aircraft with a variable-sweep wing. The Tornado IDS (Interdictor \/ strike) was the first version to be released by the British Royal Air Force and designated GR.1. In 1996 the Tornado was upgraded to the Gr.4 standard which was characterized by improved operational capabilities, new avionics systems for navigation and the adoption of new ‘on-board’ technologies. These systems enabled the effective identification and tracking of targets and the weapons management of the newer generation of weapons such as GBU-12 Paveway IV bombs.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Italeri","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51761270620427,"sku":"2513","price":130.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0777\/1809\/4091\/files\/italeri-2513-panavia-tornado-gr4-1.jpg?v=1750691928"},{"product_id":"italeri-2521-1-32-panavia-tornado-gr1-desert-storm","title":"Panavia Tornado GR1 ‘Desert Storm’","description":"\u003cp\u003eNEW PARTS - More then 350 parts - Fine Photo-etched details - Removable RB199 engine with support trolley - Retracted or extended flaps and slats - Movable ailerons - Openable radome and fully detailed radars - Open or closed thrust reversers - Open or closed air brakes - Rubber tyres - Variable sweep wings and pylons - Rubber cover for wings entry point - Color instruction sheet - Super decals sheet for 4 versions - New Mk.13\/18 Peveway LGB - Cockpit Masking sheets\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFIGURES NOT INCLUDED\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Tornado project was born from the collaboration between Italy, Germany, and the United Kingdom to develop a high-performance multirole combat aircraft. The result was a twin-engine, two-seat aircraft with variable-geometry wings, specifically designed to fulfill its primary role: a low-altitude supersonic strike fighter capable of “following” the terrain profile. The Tornado IDS (Interdictor\/Strike), optimized for attack missions, was the first variant to enter service with the operational flying units of the three countries involved in the project. Specifically, the aircraft delivered to the British Royal Air Force were designated as the GR.1 and were actively employed—carrying out a high number of missions—during the 1991 Gulf War.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Italeri","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52550840254731,"sku":"2521","price":118.79,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0777\/1809\/4091\/files\/2521_02.jpg?v=1762087579"},{"product_id":"dbmk-32001-1-32-de-havilland-hornet-f-3","title":"de Havilland Hornet F.3","description":"\u003cp\u003eFor its short service life the Hornet wore a number of very different colour schemes. Three are featured in this kit. Our primary source of inspiration was the very good Buttler, Collins and Derry Hornet book on the aircraft and we backed this up with research in a number of other publications and in discussion with our subject matter experts.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003cp\u003eThe de Havilland DH.103 Hornet was conceived in 1941 as a high-speed, long-range fighter tailored for operations in the Pacific Theatre. With the Mosquito entering full-rate production and jet development underway, de Havilland had design capacity to pursue a private venture. Initial concepts (DH.101 and DH.102) explored Sabre and Griffon engines, but by late 1942, the company settled on a twin Merlin-powered design—compact fast and agile,\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003cp\u003eDesign-wise, the Hornet was a masterclass in aerodynamic refinement. It retained the Mosquito’s wooden construction but introduced a slimmer fuselage, laminar flow wings, and tightly cowled Merlin 130\/131 engines producing 2,070 hp each with propellors rotating in opposite directions. These features enabled a blistering top speed of 485 mph at 22,000 feet, probably the fastest of any piston engine service aircraft, and superb handling. Armament included four 20mm Hispano cannons and provisions for rockets or bombs up to 1,000lb, making it a potent strike platform.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThough it missed World War II combat, the Hornet entered RAF service in 1946 and saw action during the Malayan Emergency. Operating from Singapore, Hornets conducted ground-attack missions and reconnaissance, proving their worth in tropical conditions. The Sea Hornet variant, adapted for carrier use and as an all-weather fighter, served with the Fleet Air Arm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCaptain Eric ‘Winkle” Brown, who holds the record for most number of aircraft types flown, rated the Hornet as his favourite and praised the its performance: ‘The Hornet was a pilot’s aeroplane par excellence. It had delightful handling characteristics and was incredibly fast for a piston-engined aircraft.” He further remarked, ‘Its acceleration was phenomenal, and it could out-turn most contemporary fighters with ease.”\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003cp\u003eDespite its brief service life, the Hornet represented the zenith of propeller-driven fighter design—an elegant, lethal machine that bridged the gap between wartime innovation and the jet age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOur F.3 kit features 3 marking schemes and includes rockets, 1000lb bombs and fuel tanks.\u003cbr\u003e\nWhat you get\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003e192 plastic parts\u003cbr\u003e\n    8 clear plastic parts\u003cbr\u003e\n    56 photo-etch parts\u003cbr\u003e\n    32 3d printed parts\u003cbr\u003e\n    Metal rod \u0026amp; clear film\u003cbr\u003e\n    Three marking schemes\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DBMK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53296311927051,"sku":"32001","price":112.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0777\/1809\/4091\/files\/DBMK32001A.jpg?v=1786487455"},{"product_id":"dbmk-32003-1-32-de-havilland-hornet-f-1-pr-2","title":"de Havilland Hornet F.1 \/ PR.2","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe de Havilland DH.103 Hornet was one of the fastest piston-engined fighters ever built, developed from the Mosquito as a long-range, high-performance fighter during the final years of the Second World War.
