This mini model is a physical echo of the flight line, cast from the very skin of one of the most significant aircraft in British aviation history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"2\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"2\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eThe Biography of the Metal\u003c\/b\u003e ZA326 was no ordinary airframe, but a legendary testbed that served at the Royal Aircraft Establishment at Bedford and Farnborough. As a Panavia Tornado GR1, this specific aircraft was instrumental in trials that defined the strike capability of the RAF during the twilight of the Cold War. Having flown under the callsign \"Raspberry Ripple\" due to its distinctive test livery, the aluminium used in this model has endured the stresses of high-speed research and supersonic development. Today, through our partnership with the Panavia Tornado Preservation Group, these reclaimed components have been preserved, ensuring the legacy of ZA326 continues far beyond the hangar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"3\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eThe Founder’s Note\u003c\/b\u003e When we first handled the reclaimed airframe of ZA326, the intent was to preserve the soul of the aircraft rather than just its shape. This model is hand-finished with a focus on the tactile connection between the owner and the history of the metal. It possesses a substantial, reassuring weight that belies its compact size, while the hand-polished finish ensures that the unique grain of the original aviation-grade aluminium is allowed to shine. Every piece is inspected to ensure it meets our exacting standards for quality, serving as a permanent, physical tribute to British engineering excellence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5,0,0\"\u003eCast from genuine airframe aluminium reclaimed from Tornado GR1 ZA326\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5,1,0\"\u003eCreated in proud partnership with the Panavia Tornado Preservation Group (PTPG)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5,2,0\"\u003eMounted on a bespoke, serialised laser-etched base for authenticity\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5,3,0\"\u003eHand-polished finish highlighting the natural patina of the reclaimed metal\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5,4,0\"\u003eA portion of every sale is donated to the PTPG\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,0,0\"\u003eMaterial: Reclaimed ZA326 Tornado Airframe Aluminium\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,1,0\"\u003eWeight: 150 grammes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,2,0\"\u003eHeight: 6 centimetres\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,3,0\"\u003eBase Dimensions: 9 centimetres x 9 centimetres\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,4,0\"\u003eEdition: Limited to 300 pieces worldwide\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Icarus Originals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56974749434239,"sku":"IC34","price":64.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/8388\/1087\/files\/eef0fe09-1000056527.jpg?v=1771350912","url":"https:\/\/icarusoriginals.com\/products\/tornado-gr1-za326-mini-model","provider":"Icarus Originals","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
