The 2 photos
directly above and
directly below are of an Italian Tornado IDS with the Gulf War camouflage, the
paint is very weary and if you watch the photo of the tail is in the standard
grey and green cammo, another strange thing is the insigna, it's a mix between
the lightning of the 36' Stormo, the first user of the aircraft, and the insigna
of the Reparto Sperimentale Volo (it's the test flight of the Italian AF) in the
middle, for the modeller is possible to build this aircraft using the Tauromodel
decal sheet number 72-571 for the 1:72 scale.
