rkennerley Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 As you can see from the title I will be doing a WIF using the Revell eurofighter typhoon(the twin seater) done up in the Blue Angels colours,I don't have a back story i just want to see what it will look like.As with all of Revells new kits the moulding looks great with good panel lines and no flash to talk of so now to see how it goes together.
