A few questions on RAFG Tornado GR1 weapon fits


Hi,

I’m currently building a model kit of an RAFG GR1 post GW1 and I’m stuggling a bit to work out a ‘realistic’ weapons loadout. The finished article will be a 31Sqn aircraft (I was on 31 but in GR4/ Marham days).

Wings will have the usual 1500ltr tanks plus BOZ and Skyshadow. My question is:

Is the following a realistic fit:

Alarm on both wing pylons in place of AIM9
Centreline fuselage pylon clear
Tiald pod on forward left fuselage pylon.
2x 1000lb Paveway in tandem on right fuselage pylon (which seems a bit unbalanced to.me- would forward right and rear left be more realistic?)

Finally, did RAFG GR1s routinely have AAR probes fitted? ISTR the XV/16 Sqn Buccs didn’t carry them but I’m not sure if this carried on with GR1s?

Many thanks

We will be happy to hear your thoughts
