About the Tornado

This part of the SIGs website is where we are collecting reference materials on the real aircraft, or as us modellers call it, the 1:1 scale version. Various sections of this part of the website are a work in progress, but are included as they develop as they may still be of use.

Detailed walkaround images of the majority of variants of the Tornado, including cockpit shots. Highlights include an F3T and GR4.

Special schemes are a spin-off of the walk around sections. They cover external view of some of the more colourful Tornados.

Camouflage schemes includes information on camouflage schemes used by all four air forces, and includes paint guide that match them to popular paint manufacturers.

MRCA (Tornado) Prototypes are detailed in this section, including guidance on camouflage schemes.

Serials is a growing section that will include an image of every Tornado.

Variants describe the differences between IDS and GR versions of the Tornado. Other variants will be be added in time.

Equipment and technical includes an extensive look at weapons and weapons fit carried by the Tornado; internal components and the minutia of the Panavia Tornado.
