1/48 ItaleriTornado

IDS/ECR

This is Italeri's Tornado kit. It is a rebox of the ESCI kit from the 1970's, but it still has decent detail. There are two nose sections, one for

the IDS and for the ECR version and includes moveable wings. You ge the option of having hte speed bnrakes open or close, refueling probe

retracted or extended, and has detailed landing gear. There is a large weaposn selection including AGM-88, Aim-9L, 750 lbs bombs, electronic pods,

drop tanks and smoke generators, although they are not all to be used. Due to the sepearte nose sections, you actually get double weapons sprues!
