This 1:72 diecast model of PANAVIA Tornado GR.1 ZA447 'MiG Eater' captures one of the most iconic RAF aircraft of the 1991 Gulf War. Painted in the distinctive desert pink camouflage scheme, ZA447 featured bold shark mouth artwork and nose art reading "MiG Eater." It earned its nickname after reportedly destroying an Iraqi MiG-29 during an airfield denial mission—later found to have been a Mirage F.1. Regardless, the aircraft flew an impressive 40 combat missions, making it one of the most active Tornados of the conflict, and later a standout exhibit at the 1991 Mildenhall Air Fete.
The Tornado GR.1, a product of British, German, and Italian collaboration, entered RAF service in 1979 as one of the most capable low-level, all-weather strike aircraft in the world. During the Gulf War, it was instrumental in disabling Iraqi airfields using the JP233 airfield denial weapon—helping suppress the Iraqi Air Force and contributing significantly to coalition air superiority.
This model comes prebuilt and includes display accessories and a stand, making it a standout piece for collectors interested in modern RAF combat aircraft and the Gulf War era.
