The USAF considered several options to replace the F-4 Wild Weasel aircraft. One proposal was to buy Tornado ECRs. I made this as a multi-role aircraft, able to perform both Wild Weasel and Electronic Warfare missions. The nose has been extended to house the larger radar for low level strikes and the EW receiver package on the tail. I armed it similar to the desktop model used to promote the idea. I picked a tactical paint scheme that seemed appropriate. Markings are for a unit that performed WW missions during Desert Storm.
Comments and critiques always welcome!

Nice, very nice; though I expect EF-24A would be more applicable numberage (then again, they've been playing fast and loose there for a number of years, so....)

Wow, the snout and tail change the look.
The Tonka'a A end appeared big enough normally, this has hit Kim Khardashian levels.
Nice work

Shape, color, marking changes to Tornado look the business. Like better than regular Tornado. A fine build.
