Italeri 1/72 Tornado Gr.1 kit - RAF Gulf War subject

The Tornado is a twin engine, variable-sweep wing design produced by a joint British, German and Italian effort. Praised for its mission flexibility, the Tornado often performed low altitude strike roles. It became widely known during the 1991 Gulf War when RAF Tornado Gr.1s took part in Operation Granby, operating from bases in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia.

Assembly guidance and display notes

This Italeri 1/72 model represents the Tornado Gr.1 with attention to silhouette and wartime detail. The kit is well suited to hobbyists who enjoy precise builds and scale-accurate finishing. It stacks well in collections and offers opportunities for diorama work representing desert operations.

Specifications

What level of detail should I expect?

The kit offers fine panel lines and small components typical of 1/72 scale. Detail is good for the scale but benefits from careful painting and optional weathering to bring out features.

Do I need special paints for the desert schemes?

Use acrylic or enamel paints matched to RAF Gulf War colours. Refer to references for accurate tones and apply thin layers for a realistic finish.

Are decals easy to apply?

The supplied decals fit the kit's surfaces. Use decal setting solution for best adhesion and trim carefully around complex contours.
