COBI Armed Forces Panavia Tornado IDDS Aircraft

Using 493 high-quality COBI construction blocks you can build a German version of the Panavia Tornado IDS multi-role fighter. This type of attack aircraft was in use by the Luftwaffe as early as 1979. A total of 247 machines were delivered. Over the many years of their service, they proved to be reliable, becoming a permanent part of the history of German aviation. In addition to standard service they also took part in NATO operations. The active part of the Tornado fleet is scheduled to be replaced by the American F-35 Lightning II. The set has been carefully designed in the 1:48 modeling scale and complements the rich collection of Armed Forces fighters. The set includes high-quality prints only, you won't find stickers here! The bright color and Luftwaffe markings distinguish the German version of the aircraft from other versions available in the COBI catalog. The model, just like the original, has a mechanism that allows you to change the position of the wings (variable wing geometry).

The plane has movable ailerons and a landing gear that can be easily detached at any time to display the plane on the brick display stand that is included in the set. A name plate is also included. Thanks to the intuitive instructions, construction is simple and will not pose any problems for less advanced builders.
