Eduard 481007 Desert Babe upgrade set for EDUARD 1/48 – Upgrade set for the Tornado GR.1 model

The Eduard 481007 Desert Babe upgrade set for EDUARD 1/48 is a high-quality aftermarket set designed for the plastic model kit of the Tornado GR.1 aircraft in 1/48 scale by Eduard. "Desert Babe" refers to the distinctive paint scheme and markings used by British Panavia Tornado GR.1 aircraft during Operation Desert Storm at the turn of 1990-1991, during the Gulf War. This was one of the most important and most recognizable combat actions of the Royal Air Force of the United Kingdom in the late Cold War and early 1990s.

This upgrade set from Eduard is based on the manufacturer's experience in producing photo-etched details, which significantly enhance the realism of the finished model. The Desert Babe upgrade set includes parts allowing for detailed recreation of the cockpit interior, pilot’s and navigator’s seats, detailed exterior panels, and many small highlights both inside the cockpit and on the aircraft’s surface. All additions are made from photo-etched stainless steel and colored metal sheets, which guarantees precise detail and a perfect fit to Eduard’s base model.

The set is recommended for modelers who want to significantly improve the appearance of their Tornado GR.1 model in Desert Babe markings. The kit includes photo-etched sheets with elements for the instrument panels, seatbelts, avionics equipment mounts, parts for exterior pods and flaps, as well as details for the tail and armament.
