Hasegawa 1/72 Tornado IDS 50th Anniversary Model

This Hasegawa 1/72 Tornado IDS model celebrates the Tornado's first flight half a century ago. The kit recreates the aircrafts profile and movable wing geometry, giving builders a precise small-scale replica to showcase engineering and service history.

Role and appeal to aircraft modellers

The Panavia Tornado IDS was designed for interdiction and strike missions and became known for mission versatility. The kit provides the panel detail and control surfaces that interest modellers focused on accuracy and realistic finishes.

Construction advice and final presentation

Parts fit benefits from careful test fitting prior to gluing. The supplied decals offer marking choices, and a careful paint and weathering pass will make the model stand out on a shelf or in a collection.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/72
  • Material: PS plastic
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Decals: Included for multiple marking options
The kit models the variable-geometry wings, but the final position depends on how you fix the hinge areas during assembly. Many builders fix them in the swept or extended position for display.
Aftermarket items like resin seats, photo-etch panels or fine masks can enhance realism, but the kit is complete enough for a convincing build straight from the box.
Block out colours using light primer, then apply base coats and use masking for crisp edges. Subtle pre-shading and light weathering will bring out panel lines and surface detail.
