Our first air selection takes us back to the modern Middle East. From 3000Toys it is the 1:72 scale Panavia Tornado IDS, Royal Saudi Air Force
for just $29.99.
The Tornado Interdictor Strike (IDS) is the export version equivalent to the RAF's GR.Mk.1, designed by the three members of Panavia - the UK's British Aerospace, Germany's MBB, and Italy's Aeritalia. The Tornado is an exceptional performer and well-suited to low-level high-speed bombing missions, thanks to its advanced navigation/attack system. The system's powerful radar can operate in search, ground mapping, and terrain-following modes. This allowed British, Italian, and Saudi Tornados to engage in many low-level anti-runway bombing sorties early in the 1991 war against Iraq. So successful was the Tornado IDS that nearly 1,000 examples were built, including 402 for the UK, 359 for Germany, 99 for Italy and 96 for Saudi Arabia.
