The Panavia Tornado IDS is one of the most famous European fighter jets and is now available as a high-quality building set from COBI! With this model, you build the German version of the Tornado, an aircraft that symbolizes cooperation between Germany, Italy, and Great Britain within the aviation industry.
The Tornado was developed in the 1970s with the goal of performing high-speed, extreme low-altitude missions, giving enemy radar systems hardly any time to react.
