38"
Tornado GR6 RCM&E Free Plan February 2026
by Tony Nijhuis



Probably one of the most iconic strike attack aircraft of the 20thCentury and a model we have wanted to do for a long time. Two years in the testing and a swing wing design that is simple and uncomplicated….not a gyro in-sight! As long as you have a computer transmitter, the set-up is very easy. If the swing wing is something that puts you off, then make a fixed wing version….don’t miss out on the enjoyment of this great model!
Unlike the recent midi jet designs where the wings were made of solid sheet balsa, this is a built-up wing with one of our tried
and tested wing sections. Although not a perfect scale representation as we have used a single 70mm 4S EDF and not a pair of smaller EDF’s, we are sure that even the most discerning scale modellers out there should be pretty pleased with this offering.
The plans are full size and reproduced on a large sheet of quality A0 paper.
As with all our models, Vac formed parts, a CNC pack and wood packs are available to complete the model. We have also made available
a wing pivot kit which includes the torque/push rods, a 35kg servo and the pivot blocks. Further items including 3D printed pilots, air intakes
and a decal set are also available.
The CNC pack includes all fuselage formers, the tail and fin pieces, the wing ribs plus additional pieces.
Finally, to assist the building of this model, we have made available free down loads of a set of build photos.
