Rickpadwick1801 Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Hi Everyone, Here is my latest completed build : Airfix Typhoon F.Mk.2 1:72 scale, ZJ928, No.17 Squadron based at RAF Coningsby, scheme dating back to 2007. Anyway here are the photos. And now for one of the Real Thing - Typhoon FGR.4 taken at Bournemouth Airshow 31/08/2014 Thanks as always for looking. Comments welcome. Cheers, Rick 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyE1976 Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Good job! I had one of these, but it ended up in the bin - the fit was terrible and the decals were absolute rubbish on mine, all the fin flashes broke. Did you hit any problems? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Womby Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Well done. I didn't like them at first but the more I see the Typhoon, the more it's shape grows on me. David 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Andy, Nope no problems at all. I think this has to the easiest build ever of an Airfix kit for me. The decals went on really easily, I normally split decals as well but not this time.

David Thanks David. I love the Typhoon, especially for its raw power. I love the noise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RNoAF Aerobatic Team Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Looks really good! Started one many moons ago. Ended up in the bin. Too many fit issues. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellsprop Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 I too had one of these, but it got purged during my pre-house-move-reduction. It got sent to aeroplane heaven by an air rifle Glad to see you stuck with it and its turned out rather nice Ben 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobski Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Only comment from me is that it's not a "British Aerospace Eurofighter Typhoon", it's just a Eurofighter Typhoon. BAE Systems is but one part of the consortium... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks to everyone who commented, I thoroughly enjoyed this build as it wasn't overly complicated and went together really well.

jean Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Same here: I never liked the plane, but the more I see it, the more I enjoy it,,, It is Evil!!! Your build is good, the paint is smooth and you can almost smell the kerosene (or is it still Ricin oil the RAF is using?)! Well done! JR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darby Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 You can feel justifiably proud old bean! I binned mine a while ago and have never gone back to the Typhoon and I so want to do a Spanish/Austrian one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
