Description

An impressive and highly detailed 1:72 scale diecast representation of a Royal Air Force Panavia Tornado GR.4 deployed during Operation Ellamy over Libya in 2011. Released as part of the Corgi Aviation Archive Collector Series, AA33616 depicts Tornado ZG775 of RAF No. 14 Squadron in the operational grey finish carried during the international campaign.

Operation Ellamy was the British contribution to the international military intervention over Libya in 2011. Royal Air Force Tornado GR.4 aircraft played an important role in the campaign, conducting long-range strike and reconnaissance missions in support of the United Nations-backed no-fly zone and wider efforts to restrict the movement of hostile forces.

No. 14 Squadron had a long association with the Tornado and operated the GR.4 in the strike, reconnaissance and close-support roles. Aircraft ZG775 is reproduced with the squadron's low-visibility markings, operational grey camouflage and the extensive external stores carried beneath the wings and fuselage during modern combat operations.

Developed jointly by the United Kingdom, West Germany and Italy, the Panavia Tornado first flew in 1974. Its variable-geometry wings allowed it to combine efficient high-speed, low-level flight with improved take-off and landing performance. The Tornado GR.4 represented a heavily upgraded version of the RAF strike aircraft, incorporating enhanced avionics, reconnaissance systems and the ability to deploy a wide range of precision-guided weapons.

Limited to 1,300 pieces worldwide, this release is particularly appealing to collectors of modern Royal Air Force aircraft and operational aviation subjects. The model features heavyweight diecast construction, variable-geometry wings, synchronised movable elevators and finely reproduced heat shielding around the twin engine exhausts. Further details include wing-mounted fuel tanks and ordnance, a positionable cockpit canopy with pilot figures, detailed cockpit instrumentation, authentic squadron markings and the original Corgi Aviation Archive presentation stand.
