Print Scale 72-040 Decal Panavia Tornado Scale 1:72

Print Scale 72-040 Waterslide Decals are designed for 1:72 scale aircraft models of the Panavia Tornado GR.1. This decal set provides researched service markings for Royal Air Force Tornado aircraft operated during the early 1990s, reflecting documented squadron and individual airframe identifiers.

The Panavia Tornado GR.1 served as a primary strike aircraft within RAF operations during the late Cold War and early post–Cold War period. Aircraft represented in this set were deployed with detachments operating from Middle Eastern bases in 1991, featuring distinctive unit codes, nose markings, and mission-era identification styles.

The decals are printed on thin carrier film to support accurate placement on the complex surfaces of a modern swing-wing aircraft in 1:72 scale. This set is compatible with 1:72 scale plastic model kits depicting the Tornado GR.1 and is recommended for advanced modelers due to the density of stenciling, individual aircraft markings, and variant-specific details.
