Cobi Forces Armées Panavia Tornado GR.1 MIG EATER, 1:48, 527 k, 2 f
Using 527 high-quality COBI building blocks, you can build the famous British multi-role fighter Panavia Tornado with all its extraordinary history! The christened name "MIG EATER" (Polish Migoeater Eater) refers to the famous story of the destruction of an Iraqi aircraft in the early stages of the First Gulf War in 1990. The set also includes two unique figures of British pilots captured by Iraqis during the same conflict. After their release, the pilots took a photo with the "Mig Eater" aircraft. Our set combines these two very different and extraordinary military stories.
The set has been carefully designed on a 1:48 scale and complements a very rich collection of armed forces fighters. The set contains only high-quality prints, no stickers here! The aircraft drawing and distinctive markings refer to the Gulf War (1990-1991). Like the original, the model has a mechanism that allows you to change the position of the wings (variable wing geometry). It also has an opening cockpit with space for two full-size figures, movable flaps and wheels. The landing gear can be easily detached at any time to better display the aircraft on the brick stand, which is part of the set. A nameplate is also included. Thanks to the intuitive instructions, the construction is simple and will not pose a problem even for less advanced builders. The set will certainly meet the expectations of aviation, military, and block enthusiasts. The legend of the sky that the Tornado undoubtedly is will look great in your armed forces collection, regardless of your age!
Panavia Tornados were multi-role combat aircraft with variable wings used by the Royal Air Force (RAF) from the 1980s to 2019 when they were retired. The Panavia Tornado was a twin-engine jet combat aircraft created by the Panavia Aircraft GmbH consortium, which included Germany, Italy, and the United Kingdom. In RAF service, there were three main variants of the Tornado aircraft: GR.1, GR.4, and GR.4A. The GR.1 model was the first version introduced into service in the 1980s. Tornados were used as ground support aircraft, fighters, and for air-to-air attacks. They were capable of carrying various weapons, including guided bombs and missiles. RAF Tornado aircraft participated in various conflicts and operations, including the Gulf War, Operation Allied Force over Kosovo, Operation Iraqi Freedom, and the fight against ISIS over Iraq and Syria. The last Tornado aircraft were withdrawn from RAF service in 2019. They were replaced by more modern aircraft such as the Typhoon and F-35 Lightning II, which are also part of the COBI collection!
