High value 250 g/m2 silky luster paper poster at the size of DIN A3 (420x297 mm, 16 1/2 x 11 3/4'', DIN A2 and DIN A1 optional) with aircraft scheme and textual descriptions. Background story Shown is RECCE TORNADO 43+46 of Recce Wing 51 "Immelmann" in Schleswig with the special tiger paint for the Tiger Meet 2002 in Beja, Portugal. The airplane is shown in the standard operational configuration consisting of two underwing tanks (one visible), two air-to-air missiles AIM-9L (i) SIDEWINDER (one visible), the RECCE POD which holds the sensors for the mission. Furhther on visible on the outside of the port wing the jammer pod CERBERUS III. Not visible on the outside of the other wing, the chaff and flare dispenser BOZ-101. This print is the "wing version" of this tigerjet, which means the wing patch is shown on it instead of the patch of the 512 Tiger Squadron. Recce wing 51 was until 2010 in the situation that the 512 patch as well as the wing patch showed the head of a black panther. The situation changed in 2010 when the 512 squadron converted to a new mission (UAV) and got a new patch without a big cat.
High value 250 g/m2 silky luster paper poster at the size of DIN A3 (420x297 mm, 16 1/2 x 11 3/4'') with aircraft scheme and textual descriptions. All text in german language! DIN A2 and DIN A1 versions are optional, but will be printed after reception of the order which means a delay of ca. 1 week for the shipping. Background story The German Luftwaffe Combat Wing 1 was mainly formed from parts of Fighterbomber Wing 32 from Lechfeld and Recce Wing 51 "Immelmann" from Jagel/Schleswig. The order was given from the German Parliament with decission from June 30 1995. CW-1 was stationed at the Italian Airforce base Piacenca. Up to 14 RECCE and ECR TORNADO were provided to the wing to support the UN peace mission in the former Yugoslavia. The first operational mission took off from Piacenza August 7 1995. German TORNADO ECR accompanied american fighter jets into the airspace above Sarajewo and had the task to protect the allies against radar guided airdefense missiles. From 1995 until 1999 the ECR and RECCE Tornados supported the NATO rapid reaction ground forces and the UN missions UNPROFOR, IFOR and SFOR. The first Luftwaffe active war-type combat mission after WW II started in the evening of March 24 1999 with the beginning of operation ALLIED FORCE in the escalating Kosovo conflikt. On base of the decission of the german parliament dated October 16 1998 Combat Wing 1 flew 66 RECCE missions and 438 ECR SEAD (suppression of enemy air defense) missions. With this it provided important reconnaissance information and protection for the allied airplanes. After 79 days the operation ended June 10 1999. Until the decommissioning of CW-1 in August 2001 overall 2559 operational ECR missions and 4715 RECCE mission with more than 13000 recce targets were flown. There were no own losses during the whole mission. ECR TORNADO With the IDS (interdictor strike) version of the TORNADO german Luftwaffe and Marine owed since years a tactical fighter jet with great firepower, range and survivability which allowed the effective combat against targets at day and at night and under all weather conditions. Based on this system the TORNADO ECR (Electronic Combat and Reconnaissance) was created and introduced. The basic change of the ECR was the so called "1st avionic upgrade" of the IDS version. Also added were stronger Turbo Union RB-199 Mk-105 engines (Mk-101 and Mk-103 has the IDS). ECR TORNADO armament A key element in development of the ECR TORNADO is the integration of the "fire-and-foret" anti-RADAR missile HARM (High Speed Anti-Radiation Missile). In co-operation with the newly developed ELS (Emitter Locator System) which makes it possible to pin-point threatening radars of SAMs (surface-to-air missiles) this forms an unbeatable and reliable (and worldwide unique) team of sensor and weapon. For self defense the ECR TORNADO carries 2 IR guided AIM-9L(i) "Sidewinder" air-to-air missiles, the electronic warfare jammer "Cerberus III" (C-III) and the chaff and flare dispenser BOZ-101.

DIN A2 and DIN A1 versions are optional, but will be printed after reception of the order which means a delay of ca. 1 week for the shipping. Background story On this print you find substitutional for the two operational flying components of CW-1 (both in norm 95 camouflage) one RECCE TORNADO of german Recce Wing 51 and one ECR TORNADO of FBW 32, both in complete combat configuration with 2 underwing tanks, 2 HARM missiles (ECR), the RECCE POD, 2 air-to-air missiles AIM-9L(i) "Sidewinder", the chaff and flare dispenser BOZ 101 (not visible on outside of starboard wing) and the EW POD Cerberus III on the outboard station of the port wing. RECCE TORNADO The RECCE (reconnaissance) TORNADO is based on the fighterbomber (IDS) version of the TORNADO and forms with other platforms the spearhead of Luftwaffe's intervention forces for crisis. In all operations so far where the german Luftwaffe was involved - from Bosnia up to Afghanistan - the RECCE TORNADO proved in an impressive manner its capabilities. In the so called RECCE POD which is hanging under the fuselage he carries the most modern optical and infrared sensors and cameras which offer the capability to provide fast and precisely high resolution pictures by day and by night, in low-level and high-level flight. These pictures are an important base for successful higher level military plannings.

Background story Shortly after the start of the operations in August 1995 at the german Combat Wing 1 (CW-1) which was established in Piacenza, Italy, to support the the UN missions in former Yugoslavia, the flying crews of FBW 32 critisized the wrong camouflage schemes of their Tornados (Norm 83B/C), which was optimized for low level missions in central Europe. Because of the expected mission profiles in medium to high altitudes, and to avoid the danger of early recognition by ground and air forces, they requested to re-paint the aircraft with an appropriate grey camouflage scheme. The problem for the paint specialists was, that there was neither an official given norm for the Tornado, nor an adequate grey color available. Nevertheless was the urgent need of the new color accepted and the operational jets painted with the next available grey color. What came out in this fast reaction, and what funny details there were, can be seen on our print. Nevertheless: flexibility is the key to success!

TAR - Tactical Air Reconnaissance After the deletion without replacement of the american RF-4C the RECCE version of the Phantom II the german tactical reconnaissance got a special importance whithin NATO. Only the german Luftwaffe with its powerful RECCE POD was still capable to conduct TAR in the fast and flexible way everybody was used to for a long time. TAR is in general conducted by order of a "ground commander". The results directly go into the tactical plannings of the commanders.
High value 250 g/m2 silky luster paper poster at the size of DIN A3 (420x297 mm, 16 1/2 x 11 3/4'', DIN A2 and DIN A1 optional) with aircraft scheme and textual descriptions. Background story Like the name of the comouflage "Norm 95" expresses, was it in 1995 introduced to the german Tornados. In its origins the Tornado was built for lowest level high speed terrain following missions in a central Europe scenario and for that the dark green and black camouflage expressed in Norm 83B/C was an optimized colour scheme. But with the upcoming support for the combat missions in the former jugoslvia a totally new mission profile was developing which urged the crews to fly in medium to high altitude szenarios. Because of that, selected Tornado jets were repainted beginning with those from ECR Wing 32 in Lechfeld and RECCE wing 51 in Schleswig which provided the aircraft for CW (Combat Wing) 1 in Piacenza, Italy. Out of this measure the new Norm 95 camouflage was introduced to the german Luftwaffe. Since June 2010 when the last one left for Büchel airbase, home of FBW 33, there are no more Tornados at FBW 31. FBW 31 has converted to the new Eurofighter.

Background story The GBU-24 is a high precission LASER guided bomb derived from the Paveway series. Its development goes back to the year 1965 and was initiated by Texas Instruments after the Bell Laboratories had developped the necessary LASER. The first successful applications of this weapon were achieved after enormous failures in e.g. Beirut 1983, in 1986 during the attack of Libya after the Lockerby terrorist attacks. Later in the golf wars the americans had spectacular success with the laser guided bunker busters. Since June 2010 there are no more Tornados at FBW 31 when the last one left for Büchel airbase, home of FBW 33. FBW 31 has converted to the new Eurofighter.

Background story Like most german Luftwaffe wings is also FBW 31 from Nörvenich (situated between Cologne and Aachen near the dutch border) allowed to paint an aircraft for its 30th anniversary. What comes out is quite OK, although not nearly as colorful as the 'colorful cow' of FBW 32 in Lechfeld to the same event. Fighterbomberwing 31 "Boelke" is Luftwaffe's oldest wing. It was already established as a flying squadron (today's first squadron 311) in 1957 in Büchel, another german military airfield to the south of Nörvenich and moved 1958 to Nörvenich where it was given a second squadron and named a wing then.

Background story For the celebrations of their 40th anniversary was the 312 sqadron once again allowed to paint a Tornado IDS jet in a special scheme. In contrary to the other squadron of FBW 31, do the 321 ALMAs create spectacular special paints on a regular base.
High value 250 g/m2 silky luster paper poster at the size of DIN A3 (420x297 mm, 16 1/2 x 11 3/4'', DIN A2 and DIN A1 optional) with aircraft scheme and textual descriptions. Background story Shown on this print is TORNADO IDS 45+56 from former Fighterbomberwing 31 in Nörvenich, with external wing tanks (only one visible) and Cerberus C-III EW POD. Like all german TORNADO wings is also FBW 31 supplied with jets of the german out of service naval airwings from Eggebek and Schleswig. In most times these jets belonged to the lastest batches of TORNADO production and were pretty new and modern. The painters though, did not a thorough job when adapting the camouflage to the ones used in the Luftwaffe and you can easily recognize these jets - especially in the area of the air intakes - because of the blue touch around the green and grey Luftwaffe colours.A similar jet from FBW 32

Background story The multi-purpose weapon MW-1 comprises 4 containers with overall 112 tubes from which the so called sub munition is shot out in 90 degrees to the heading of the airplane. This weapon was constructed for application out of high speed low level flight. The following sub-munitions are available for the MW-1: small hollow explosive charge (KB-44) double flat mine (MIFF) multi splitter explosive (MUSA) runway bombs (STABO) The whole MW-1 is filled either with one kind of submunition or a mix of it. The only sub-munition not being mixed is the runway bomb STABO. Since June 2010 there are no more Tornados at FBW 31 when the last one left for Büchel airbase, home of FBW 33.

Background story Originally it was a good habbit of a wing - and only on wing level - to give a special painting to one of its birds for a special event like an anniversary. When the 1st Squadron of FBW 32 gave itself a new crest with a tigerhead after the conversion from TORNADO IDS to ECR it also joined the NATO Tiger Association and was given the right to paint a jet in the colors of a tiger every year for the yearly NATO Tiger Meet. Because the 2nd Squadron from FBW 32 - the Flying Monsters - was afraid to loose in importance because of that, they were also given permission to paint a Monsterjet every year. In 2011 both squadrons painted their last jet before the disbandment of wing and squadrons in 2013. They were TORNADO ECR 46+33 as the last Tigerjet of the 321 Tigers and TORNADO ECR 46+29 as the last Monsterjet of the 322 Flying Monsters. In Action:

Background story Originally it was a good habbit of german flying wings - and only on wing level - to give a special painting to one of its birds for a special event like an anniversary. TORNADO ECR 46+53 "LAST CALL" was the last jet to receive this special painting and stood for the end of FBW 32.

Background story In 2011 it was decided by the german Ministery of Defense that in the frame of a large scale restructuring of the german armed forces FBW 32 ECR from Lechfeld had to be disbanded March 31 2013. As usual for those events also FBW 32 was allowed to bring up a "LAST CALL" special paint on one of their remaining jets. As already with the last tigerjet of the 321 Tigers from the Lechfeld, the task for the design was given to Tom Marschik. The outcome was a wonderful "LAST CALL" scheme on ECR 46+45.

Background story For the 30 years in service anniversary celebrations 1988, Fighterbomberwing 32 colours for the first time a Tornado jet with a special scheme. 5 years ago for the 25 years anniversary it still had been a F-104 "Starfighter" but during the time inbetween the wing had converted to a new aircraft. For the celebrations a big "Open Door Day" and Air Tattoo was planned. Sadly, a few weeks before that, the Ramstein desaster happens, dozens of pepple were killed or seriously injured when a jet of the italian "Frecce Tricolori" team falls after a midair collision in the middle of the spectators. Because of this, all celebrations are cancelled. The "bird" Tornado IDS 44+50 though is already painted and reminds for quite some time the people of these happenings. Still 1990 it can be seen flying around with now written on its tanks: "32 years Fighterbomberwing 32".

Background story Tornado ECR 46+36 of FBW 32 from Lechfeld, Bavaria, with the standard camouflage painting 'Norm 83B'. This norm is optimized for low and lowest level flights in the middle european theatre. Meanwhile all ECR Tornado are repainted into the newer Norm 95 which is composed out of several grey colors and which was developed during the missions at Combat Wing 1 in Piacenca (see extra category CW-1 in this shop for more information). This jet is equipped with the standard combat configuration, made up of 2 HARM air-to-ground missiles to fight radar equipment, two external tanks for a higher range, two air-to-air missiles AIM-9Li 'Sidewinder', the EW POD C-III and - not visible because on the right wing outside - the chaff and flare dispenser BOZ-101.

Background story Tornado ECR 46+36 from FBW 32 in Lechfeld, coloured in Norm 95 standard camouflage. This norm is optimized for operational missions in medium and high altitudes and was established during the first missions at the Combat Wing 1 (CW-1) in Piacenza, Italy. While all Tornado were coloured until 1995 in the for the middle european theatre optimized green and black color scheme, this changed quickly after the missions over the former Yugoslavia. In a szenario without high reaching anti air weapons an airplane with a grey camouflage flying in medium or high altitudes is much better protected with a grey coloring against visual recognition from the air or the ground.This jet is equipped with the standard combat configuration, made up of 2 HARM air-to-ground missiles to fight radar equipment, two external tanks for a higher range, two air-to-air missiles AIM-9Li 'Sidewinder', the EW POD C-III and - not visible because on the right wing outside - the chaff and flare dispenser BOZ-101.
