Since these are still in service, and therefore are technically not warbirds yet, I thought I would post my question here.

Can anyone tell me how to tell the difference between a Tornado GR.4 and a F.3? I have been Googling for line drawings or something to hightlight the differences but I have had no luck.

Mike

Hey Mike.

GR variants are bombers, they have fairings under the nose for laser designators and FLIRs.

F variants are fighters (duh! :P ). They have a more elongated nose.
