of the Tornado, and its popularity among modellers, it's surprising that there have been few models actually released - particularly in 1/48 scale. As for those that have been issued, they are fairly old now and it shows. Airfix and Italeri released F3s of varying quality and detail, and whereas either of these can be built to look like a Tornado, both need much work to bring them to a decent standard. Enter Hobby Boss, which recently offered its Tornado renditions, initially in the form of the mud-moving IDS/GR1. Now the fighter version is available, and first impressions are favourable. Both variants feature well-detailed surfaces, with a host of stores and the added bonus of wings that can have flaps and slats deployed, saving a tricky conversion job necessary on the earlier models.
