1/144 Tornado IDS LRMTS Pods - Retrowings

1/144 Tornado IDS LRMTS Pods - Retrowings

Retrowings continues to release new 1/144 additions and conversions,
The pack includes : (3x)Three clear resin LMRTS pods to add to the Revell or Dragon 1/144 kits. (the idea being you keep the lens portion free of paint)

The RAF Tornado IDS aircraft are fitted with a Laser Range Finder and Marked Target Seeker (LRMTS). This consists of a laser that is used to measure the slant rang of a point on the ground relative to the aircraft; this information is used to calculate targeting.

The LRMTS sensor can be used to receive reflected laser energy from a third-party laser, allowing the crew to find targets marked by troops on the ground or other aircraft

See these photos that show the LRMTS as used (only) on the RAF and RSAF IDS Tornado Variants
