{"product_id":"cobi-5854-panavia-tornado-gr1-mig-eater","title":"Panavia Tornado GR.1 ‘MiG Eater’","description":"\u003ch2\u003eA desert legend takes flight\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcross a sand-coloured combat zone, an unmistakable swing-wing aircraft cuts through the sky: this model recreates the specific RAF Tornado known as the “MiG Eater”. Its desert camouflage, British insignia and distinctive nose art place the aircraft firmly in the Gulf War era. Rather than building a generic military jet, you are recreating a documented aircraft with a character and operational story of its own. The long nose, side-mounted air intakes and twin exhausts capture the Tornado’s characteristic profile. External tanks and weaponry beneath the wings complete its mission-ready appearance. Once finished, the model has the presence of a compact aviation museum exhibit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 527-piece build produces a 36 cm long Tornado at 1:48 scale, with a substantial fuselage assembled in carefully layered sections. Its functional swing-wing mechanism forms the technical heart of the build, allowing you to position the wings for take-off, landing or high-speed flight. The landing gear can also be adjusted, while the canopy opens to give the crew access to the cockpit. Printed cockpit details, camouflage panels, identification markings and maintenance stencils create a richly finished surface without applied decorations. The construction balances an accurate aircraft shape with satisfying functions, avoiding unnecessary mechanical complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis set is aimed at aviation enthusiasts, confident younger builders and adult collectors of modern military aircraft. Two Royal Air Force pilot figures sit together inside the cockpit and give the aircraft its crew. Moving wings, landing gear and canopy add genuine play value, while the individual livery makes the model particularly effective on display. With a wingspan of 28 cm, the jet commands attention without overwhelming a typical shelf or display cabinet. Alongside other military aircraft, its sand-coloured “MiG Eater” scheme remains instantly recognisable.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"COBI","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58200899354888,"sku":"5854","price":39.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/5849\/6776\/files\/tornado-gr-mk-1-mig-1784042349975-1.webp?v=1784042353","url":"https:\/\/brickminded.com\/en-nl\/products\/cobi-5854-panavia-tornado-gr1-mig-eater","provider":"Brickminded","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
