This is a fantastic set that provides you with pretty much all you need in terms of reference to build an accurate Tornado F3. The F3 shares many parts in common with the Ground attack versions GR.1-GR.4 such as undercarriage, rear end and cockpit overall arrangement. These details are included in the GR.4 walkaround and are not really repeated here.

• unique angles and images, especially of upper fuselage and wing markings
• rear cockpit images included
• deployed flap detail in close-up
• AIM-9 Sidewinder pylon detail
• reheat pipe upper arrangement views
• unique images of some anniversary aircraft

Our thanks to Es George, Ian Sayer and James Vaitkevicius for supplying some of the images included in this unique set.
