Dominic Thomas Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 Having seen some comments about the Airfix Eurofighter, I decided to have a go. It went together well and had a full set of air-to-air missiles, so I thought I would make it as an early F2 from 11 Squadron RAF aircraft before they upgraded the software to give it swing role capability. The kit comes with a fairing similar to that found on the FGR4, hence my vague post title. It probably doesn’t compare well with the more recent releases from Revell or Hobby Boss, but I enjoyed it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tour de Airfix Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Nice one Dominic! I made the Airfix Starter Kit of this brush painting with the little pots of paint supplied, probably close to 10 years ago. I really need to give it another go as it’s looking somewhat tired and out of place with my later airbrushed models. 😊 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tour de Airfix Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Just seen this on Facebook! A brand new specially painted Eurofighter Typhoon has this morning been revealed with a D-Day inspired livery originally worn by a Hawker Typhoon & is sporting the letters FM-G FM was the lettering of Royal Air Force 257 Squadron & the last aircraft wearing FM-G was flown by Sqn Denzil Jenkin This would be a great scheme to finish this kit in 😊 Image credit to the RAF Typhoon Display Team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dominic Thomas Posted April 23 Author Share Posted April 23 Is that a silver finish on the 56 Squadron aircraft? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominic Thomas Posted April 23 Author Share Posted April 23 Coincidentally, I’ve just finished this : It’s the Hobby Boss kit with 75th Anniversary of the Battle of Britain markings from Xtradecal. And here, the two together: Neither of these two models capture the ‘sit’ of the real thing in my opinion. That said, neither needed extra weight to avoid tail sitting. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
