I especially like the variety of decals. Thank you very much. Review: Nice subject kit, but take a LOT of work - If you are looking for a straightforward, easy to assemble kit where everything just comes together like a well engineered aircraft like the Tornado, look elsewhere. This isn’t your Hasegawa \ Tamiya \ Bandai kit. You will spend a lot of time getting those air intakes fitted as well as possible until you break out the knives, sanding files and putty. Italeri kit quality is generally below average IMHO - but far better than the average Revell USA kits. The Good + The price. A Hasegawa kit will cost twice as much - but most likely have less than half the frurstration. + The decals are VERY NICE - thin, and conforms to the panel lines well + The Gulf War edition is a very nice subject + Wings swing - and the pylons can be moved to accommodate the sweep angle - but... see Ugly The Bad - Some instructions just make you wonder what the heck? The fuel tank fins? Don’t bother. - More plastic flashes than Flash Gordon The Ugly - The Air Intakes are poorly fitted - be prepared to do a LOT of sanding and puttying to make it fit properly. A LOT - To mount the pylons, you have to heat a flathead screwdriver to press the plastic into a rotatable position - Not kid friendly ## Features - Scale: 1:72 - Length of approx. 232 mm - Sticker for 4 versions ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01N3QBAQM | | Age Range Description | Baby | | Art Craft Kit Type | Model Building Kit | | Brand Name | Italeri | | Color | Clear,Gray,White,Green,Silver | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (197) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 08001283013840 | | Included Components | MODEL KIT | | Item Dimensions | 23.2 x 17 x 10 inches | | Item Type Name | MODEL KIT | | Item Weight | 0.1 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Italeri | | Material Type | Plastic | | Model Name | TORNADO GR1 | | Number of Pieces | 9999 | | Paint Type | Acrylic | | Product Style | Flat | | Seasons | All Seasons | | Size | 232mm length | | Subject Character | Belle | | Theme | Military | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** Baby - **Brand:** Italeri - **Color:** Clear,Gray,White,Green,Silver - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 23.2 x 17 x 10 inches - **Theme:** Military ## Images ![- ITA1384 1: 72 Tornado Gr.1 Gulf War 25th Anniversary [Model Building Kit] - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61cS8iUL-LL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ wow! *by K***E on January 15, 2018* I haven't built the model yet, but it looks good and complete.

It appears to be a very detailed kit, with well-molded parts and a nice sheet of decals. I’m sure it would be a fine looking completed kit, especially with the paint scheme they chosen to utilize. My reason for giving this kit one star is because TWICE I purchased it from Amazon and TWICE they thought it was a good idea to ship a thin cardboard box filled with FRAGILE plastic parts in a plastic BAG with NO PADDING! TWICE!!! I received the first kit with the box completely crushed. I promptly returned it to Amazon with a request for a replacement. Amazon literally took the EXACT SAME CRUSHED KIT and sent it back to me as replacement for the first kit! Only the second time I received it there was even more damage done to it in transit. Probably because the ONLY thing they changed was that they put it in a new unpadded plastic bag to mail it in. They certainly did NOT send a brand new, undamaged kit. Amazon, you need to do better, especially for customers who have been with you for a LONG time. ## Frequently Bought Together - ITALERI 1384 TORNADO GR1 Model KIT, Clear,Gray,White,Green,Silver - Italeri 1459 Jaguar GR.1 / GR.3 RAF, 1:72 Scale, Plastic Model Kit, Plastic Model to Assemble, Model Making, Planes, Grey - Revell 03941 F-4J Phantom II 1:72 Scale Unbuilt/Unpainted Plastic Model Kit --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/40491217-ita1384-1-72-tornado-gr-1-gulf-war-25th-anniversary](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/40491217-ita1384-1-72-tornado-gr-1-gulf-war-25th-anniversary) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-03*
