Hobby Master Panavia Tornado ECR "46+54" Tactical Air Wing 51 1/72 2017

Diecast Tornado ECR for collectors

This 1/72 scale model reproduces the Panavia Tornado ECR wearing the 46+54 markings of Tactical Air Wing 51 at Schleswig-Jagel Air Base. It is intended for adult collectors and military-history enthusiasts who value licensed, true-to-scale replicas. The diecast metal and plastic construction gives a heavy, realistic feel while preserving fine surface detail. Officially licensed packaging confirms authenticity for display or collection purposes.

Detailed exterior with functional features

Realistic panel lines, antennas and access panels cover the airframe, and the canopy opens to reveal the included pilot figure. Detachable ordnance loads allow the model to be shown in clean or combat configuration. A display stand is supplied for shelf or cabinet mounting without additional hardware. The manufacturer's original unopened box protects the model during storage or transport.

Scale and material set display limits

At 1/72 the model measures approximately 9.25 inches long with a 7.75 inch wingspan, fixing its physical footprint for any display space. Diecast metal adds weight but limits poseability compared with fully articulated kits. The fixed landing gear and moulded panel detail cannot be altered without risking the licensed finish. Buyers who need larger scales, movable control surfaces or buildable kits should consider other formats.
