Italeri 2513 1/32 Tornado GR.4 - Detailed scale model for builders

The Italeri 1/32 Tornado GR.4 kit gives hobbyists a comprehensive assembly project that reflects the Tornado GR.4's role in low-altitude strike missions. This scale kit highlights the design that emerged from cooperation between Italy, Germany and the United Kingdom, and is aimed at modellers who value realistic engineering details.

Operational background and upgrade path

The Tornado began service as the IDS interdictor/strike variant with the Royal Air Force, later evolving through the GR.1 into the upgraded GR.4 in 1996. That upgrade brought advanced avionics and improved weapons handling, allowing operations with modern guided munitions such as the GBU-12 Paveway IV.

Parts, detailing and assembly notes

This kit contains 361 parts and includes photo-etched components for fine detail. Notable items include a removable RB199 engine mounted on a support trolley, movable ailerons, retractable flaps and slats, plus options for open or closed thrust reversers and air brakes. Builders can display the model in several configurations using the included features.

Collecting and display appeal

The Italeri 1/32 Tornado GR.4 is a centerpiece-quality kit that adds historical depth to any military aviation collection. Its authentic features and high part count make it suitable for display in both static museum-style dioramas and dedicated model showcases.
