Italeri 2513 1/32 Tornado GR.4 - Advanced scale reproduction

The Italeri 1/32 Tornado GR.4 kit presents a detailed modelling challenge that reflects the aircrafts tactical strike role. Born from a multinational design effort, the Tornado GR.4 combined updated avionics and weapons control to remain relevant in modern operations, and this kit reproduces many of those real world features.

Development history and upgrades

Originally entering service as the Tornado IDS and early GR.1 models, the fleet was modernised to GR.4 standard in 1996. The changes included avionics and systems upgrades that enhanced precision targeting and compatibility with weapons like the GBU-12 Paveway IV.

Detailed kit composition and assembly options

This box contains 361 parts, including finely detailed photo-etched pieces. Highlights include a removable RB199 engine with support trolley, movable ailerons, slats and flaps, plus selectable thrust reverser and air brake positions. The kit also includes rubber tyres and a comprehensive decal sheet covering four marking versions.

Presentation and collector notes

The Italeri 1/32 Tornado GR.4 is suited to display cases and themed collections. With its high level of detail and multiple configuration choices, it appeals to modellers focused on historical accuracy and mechanical realism.
