Description

An exceptional, highly detailed 1:72 scale diecast masterpiece celebrating the legendary Dambusters and the versatile swing-wing powerhouse of Western European aviation. This premium replica within Corgi's Aviation Archive Collector Series (AA33614) beautifully renders the Panavia Tornado GR.Mk 4.

The model depicts airframe serial ZA412, decorated in the striking commemorative livery of the Royal Air Force No. 617 (Dambusters) Squadron while stationed at RAF Lossiemouth, Scotland. This stunning paint scheme was specially commissioned to celebrate the squadron's historic 70th Anniversary in 2013, featuring a bold, custom-designed tail fin.

Designed as a landmark collaborative effort between Great Britain, West Germany, and Italy, the Panavia Tornado first took flight on August 14, 1974. It is widely regarded as one of the most strategically vital military aircraft in Western European history. Affectionately nicknamed "The Flying Fin" due to its distinctively large tail profile, the Tornado was engineered with a variable-sweep wing design to allow for high-speed performance and short-runway takeoffs and landings. Equipped with advanced terrain-following radar, the strike-fighter could execute hands-off, low-altitude missions in any weather condition while carrying a vast array of NATO air-launched weaponry.

Highly coveted by military aviation enthusiasts for its low-run limited release of only 1,000 pieces worldwide, this 1:72 scale model features high diecast metal content and exceptional mold detail. Corgi's engineering highlights an articulating swing-wing mechanism that allows the wings to be swept back or extended for diverse display configurations. To maintain realism, the wing-mounted fuel tanks and ordnance loads pivot automatically to match the chosen wing sweep position.

Additional premium features include a repositionable canopy that opens to reveal detailed pilot figures and a complete instrument cockpit layout, which highlights the unique embedded cordite charge pattern used to shatter the glass during an ejection sequence. The rear features dual-rotating elevators and simulated stainless-steel heat shielding around the intricate jet exhausts, making this museum-grade replica a definitive centerpiece for modern military collectors.
