Description: "Fourth But First" - Motto of the 4th Tactical Fighter Wing During the late 1960's a number of European countries examined ways to replace their existing fleet of combat aircraft using next-generation design techniques. Several countries looked at variable geometry wing configurations as a means of making a plane perform well throughout a wider flight envelope. Variable geometry allows the pilot and/or fly by wire system to adapt the aircraft's wing shape to the optimal settings dependent on its height, speed, and load. The Tornado takes this one step further and incorporates swiveling weapons pylons that always ensure the stores are parallel to the airframe, thus minimizing drag and improving airflow across the entire surface of the aircraft especially at low altitudes. Britain and France joined forces on a variable geometry aircraft project, called the Anglo French Variable Geometry (AFVG) project. France was already in the process of developing a variable geometry airframe of its own. In 1968, Germany, Holland, Belgium, Italy, and Canada formed a working group to look at replacements for the aging F-104. The outcome was initially called the Multi-Role Aircraft (MRA) project, which was later changed to the Multi-Role Combat Aircraft (MCRA). Britain later joined this group on the strength of its variable geometry design. Pictured here is a stunning 1:1:100 scale diecast replica of a German Panavia Tornado IDS All-Weather Bomber that was attached to Marinefliegergeschwader 1 during 1990. #HADC39 Dimensions: Wingspan: 4-1/2-inches Length: 7-1/2-inches Features: - Diecast construction - Accurate markings and insignia - Full complement of weapons - Comes with display stand Please note: We happily combine multiple sales into one order to reduce shipping charges.
