![]() ![]() Tornado ADV F3 model in 1/32 scale CONVERSION by Meindert de Vreeze |

.... from page 8.. ARMAMENT
(optional)
- Do not use the strike variant bomb pylons on the Tornado ADV. - The special pods ECM and BOZ may be used and fitted on the Tornado ADV. You may slightly modify the BOZ pod to get the Ariel Towed Radar decoy fitted on operational F.mk.3 planes. - The Harm missile is not used on the Tornado ADV. - The Sidewinder missiles were usually seen on Tornado ADV in their older days when put into service, these are in the kit. Skyflash Air to Air missiles are also
used on ADV's but are not in the kit.
After 2005, all ADV F-3 aircraft had an systems upgrade that enabled the armament with AIM-120B AMRAAM and after mid 2005 AIM-132 ASRAAM missiles. The AMRAAM was to replace the Skyflash and the ASRAAM the Sidewinder missiles. In 1/32 scale, the Tamiya
F-16 has AMRAAM missiles; I have a few left, so will use these, leaving
off the (recessed) fins to fit below the fuselage.
In 1/32 scale, I do not know of any
AIM-132 ASRAAM missile in kit form. I have seen testshots of the announced
1/32 Revell Eurofighter and it will have these in the kit.
The Tornado
ADV F3 model is now completed... a nice one for the 1/32 collection in addition to my very old converted ADV F2.
