LST01 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Hi everybody, currently working on revells GR1 but what is the story with the refueling probe? Is it an optional kind of thing on the tornado's? I've still not decided which squadron it will be :D Cheers! Laurens Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jabba62 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Yes it is optional on the GR and IDS versions, it is permanent on the ADV version. In the RAF many aircraft that were based in Germany were not fitted with the refuelling probe. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andre Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Yes it is optional on the GR and IDS versions, it is permanent on the ADV version. A small addition - on the ADV the IFR probe is a neat foldaway internal item, so you won't see the external fairing as per IDS. HTH, Andre Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nelly37 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 the part about Germany Tonkas not having probes fitted is, NOT stricktly true, most were fitted to the Tonkas before the Balkans crises etc and before they started useing Leuchars as a fast jet turnaround facility Quote Link to post Share on other sites
