Cobi Panavia Tornado IDS Italian Air Force 1:48 Brick Kit Aircraft Model (5894)

This is the Cobi Panavia Tornado IDS, a 483-piece brick construction kit built to 1:48 scale, finished in Italian Aeronautica Militare markings.

About this model

The set recreates the Tornado IDS with a functional variable-geometry wing mechanism, letting you adjust the wing sweep as on the full-size aircraft. The Italian camouflage scheme is applied using high-quality prints, and the armament fit includes AIM-9 Sidewinder missiles alongside a BOZ-102 self-defence pod.

The build includes an opening two-seat cockpit with pilot figures, movable ailerons for posing, and retractable landing gear that can be removed once the model is on display. Assembly is guided by clear, illustrated step-by-step instructions, and the finished model comes with a display stand and nameplate. Completed, it measures 36 cm in length with a 28.5 cm wingspan.
