Italeri 1/72 Tornado Gr.1 RAF Gulf War kit summary

The Tornado is a twin engine aircraft with variable geometry wings, developed by British, German and Italian manufacturers. Its adaptable design allowed it to perform several roles, notably low altitude strike missions. The type saw prominent action in the 1991 Gulf War with RAF Tornado Gr.1s participating in Operation Granby from bases such as Bahrain and Saudi Arabia.

Is this kit faithful to RAF Tornado Gr.1 details?

What tools make this build easier?

Sharp cutters, fine files, sanding paper, and precision glue will help. A small brush set and magnification aid detail painting and decal work.

Can I weather the model to represent combat use?
