Cobi fighter jet Panavia Tornado GR.1 / 527 pcs. 'MiG Eater' Gulf War I

The Panavia 200 Tornado is a twin-engine, two-seat, multi-role combat aircraft with swing wings that was designed and built by the international arms company Panavia Aircraft GmbH, based near Munich. The Panavia was created on March 26, 1969 by a multinational consortium that today consists of the British BAE Systems plc, the German Airbus Defence & Space and the Italian Leonardo SpA. The new MRCA (Multi-Role Combat Aircraft) was intended to be usable for both conventional and nuclear air attacks, for aerial reconnaissance and in naval warfare, and to meet high requirements such as extreme low-level flight, all-weather capability, high weapon precision, high self-protection and day/night use. The Tornado GR1 ZA447/EA aircraft used in the first Gulf War, flown by Squadron Leader Pete Batson and Wing Commander Mike Heath, was given the name 'MiG Eater' during a successful operation against the Iraqi air base Al Asad on January 17, 1991. In addition to the planned destruction of the runways with cluster bombs, an Iraqi Air Force aircraft that was just landing was eliminated. The fact that it was a Mirage rather than a MiG was apparently of secondary importance in the awarding of the nickname. Model in the RAF version for desert operations and with MiG Eater paintwork with 527 parts, 2 minifigures, printed blocks and movable elements. Model dimensions (LxWxH): 36 x 28 x 13 cm
