Team Yankee: WWIII: West German: Tornado Strike Flight (x2 Plastic)

The Tornado strike-aircraft was developed as a joint project between Germany, Britain, and Italy. The main role of the Tornado is as an Interdictor Strike (IDS) aircraft. The Tornado has a variable sweep-wing system. The pilot can change the sweep of the wings to change the aerodynamics of the aircraft. With the wings swept back drag was reduced during critical high-speed low-level dashes towards enemy positions. With the wings swept forward the Tornado takes on the characteristics of slower flight, allowing it to land and take-off on short runways. Low level flight is further enhanced by an innovative automatic terrain-following system. The Tornado is armed with two internally mounted 27mm Mauser BK-27 auto-cannons and two AIM-9 Sidewinder missiles for self-defence. It can carry a variety of conventional bombs, as well as the MW-1 submunition dispenser that drops a variety of munitions, including the KB44 antitank bomblet.
