This model set allows you to build a precise replica of the Tornado ECR aircraft in an impressive 1/32 scale, which translates to excellently reproduced details and an impressive size of the finished model.

The Tornado ECR is a specialized version of the iconic multirole Tornado fighter-bomber, developed in cooperation between Germany, Italy, and the United Kingdom. This variant was mainly used by the Luftwaffe (Germany) and the Italian Air Force for Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses (SEAD) missions, electronic warfare, and reconnaissance. The Tornado ECR is a two-seater aircraft with distinctive variable-geometry wings and two RB199 engines. The ECR version was introduced into service during the Cold War and modern era; it was widely used, among others, during operations in Iraq and the Balkans.
