Italeri 1/48 Tornado GR.1/IDS - Scale model overview

The Tornado GR.1/IDS stands out in aviation history as a multirole combat jet developed by British, German and Italian teams. Known for its twin engines and variable-sweep wings, the airframe has been adapted for ground attack, reconnaissance and other roles while earning strong recognition for low-altitude strike missions.

Operational history and performance notes

Notably deployed during the 1991 Gulf War, the Tornado demonstrated its low-level strike capability in coalition operations. Powered by two afterburning turbofans, the type is capable of high subsonic and supersonic dash speeds up to Mach 2.2 in certain configurations.
