Commemorative 1/72 Tornado IDS Kit from Hasegawa

The Hasegawa 1/72 Tornado IDS model celebrates fifty years since the Tornado's maiden flight, offering a compact but detailed representation that captures the aircrafts distinctive form and mission heritage.

Operational history and modelling relevance

The Panavia Tornado IDS proved its value in strike and interdiction roles across allied air forces, notable for its low-level capability and adaptability. This kit reproduces the defining shapes and surface detail that attract historically minded modellers.

Build considerations and display outcome

Expect finely moulded components and decal options for authentic markings. Accurate assembly and paintwork, especially around the wing pivots and cockpit area, will reward you with a strong display model suitable for cabinets or dioramas.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/72
  • Material: PS plastic
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Decals: Included for multiple marking options
The kit is detailed but manageable for intermediate builders. Newcomers may find some fittings fiddly, so take time with test fitting and trimming parts before glueing.
Decals cover several authentic marking options and should work well when applied with care. Use decal setting solutions and ensure a smooth painted surface for best adhesion.
Fine brushwork, a wash to bring out instrument panels and optional aftermarket ejection seats or photo-etch parts can lift the cockpit. Mask the canopy carefully to protect small glass areas during painting.
