This equipment was developed in the late 1980s by GEC-Marconi and Ferranti for the Royal Air Force (RAF). It was most widely used during the Gulf War in 1991, as well as in NATO operations over the Balkans and during the Iraq War. The TIALD pod was mainly carried by Tornado GR.1 and later GR.4 aircraft, and it was also adapted for use on other British combat aircraft.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    The operational period of the TIALD pod covers the final phase of the Cold War and the first decades of the modern era (1990–2010), before it was replaced by newer Litening III and Paveway pods.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eWhy choose this product?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    Eduard 632178 TIALD pod 1\/32 is an excellent choice for modelers wishing to give their Tornado GR.1 or GR.4 models full realism in line with historic RAF operations from the last decades of the 20th century and the early 21st century. The model features an extraordinary level of detail, achieved by combining precise resin casting and photo-etched parts, while the realistic decals allow for authentic reproduction of operational markings.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eRecommendation and difficulty level\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDifficulty level:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3\/5 – recommended for intermediate and advanced modelers\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTarget group:\u003c\/strong\u003e British aviation enthusiasts and diorama modelers of contemporary conflicts\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended for:\u003c\/strong\u003e those who care about the highest degree of replication of weaponry and aircraft accessories\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    This product is a great choice for anyone who expects premium modeling accessories and wants to create credible replicas of modern British combat aircraft.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Eduard","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54723123806542,"sku":"EDUA632178","price":33.49,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0914\/5149\/0638\/files\/9c88c2c38270360406f22e096f2b4d2a.jpg?v=1755552914","url":"https:\/\/plastmodel.pl\/en\/products\/53518-eduard-632178-tiald-pod-132","provider":"Plastmodel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
