ricardotdr Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Hi everyone! Here is my Eurofighter Typhoon (Revell 1/72 kit), built completely OOB. Overall it's a nice kit, though clearly not as good in terms of quality as other kits from Hasegawa or Academy. I hope you like it!

Duncan B Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Nicely done, I have heard that the Revell Typhoon can be difficult to build but yours looks great. Duncan B 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-EORG Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Great work! I have consigned mine to the bin though, it's a right pig to put together, but you have achieved great results! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricardotdr Posted April 20, 2015 Author Share Posted April 20, 2015 Thank you for your kind comments! You are completely right, the kit has several fit issues and flashing. Additionally, the paining instructions are quite confusing, with many color mixes required (I took the easy road, and tried to find a similar color available in the market) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

06/24 Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Very nice. My son's favourite aircraft and I would love to do the one in my stash even half as well as this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dermo245 Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Thank you for your kind comments! You are completely right, the kit has several fit issues and flashing. Additionally, the paining instructions are quite confusing, with many color mixes required (I took the easy road, and tried to find a similar color available in the market) Very nice and just started one...totally agree with you on the fit issues and flash. Also, the tail on my mine was badly warped... Dermot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Zen Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 It seems that if one survives the awful fit and horrible quality of the plastic (flash, scratches, uneven surfaces) the end result looks great. Alas I have not had the patience and my two attempts have been binned. Great job! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cardiff guy Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 (edited) Loving your work and the kit is a bit of a challenge but if you test fit a half decent kit can be built . In some aspects the revell kit is better than the hasegawa example , the ejector seat is way better also some of the stores . also in the UK it's at least half the price . I built this when the kit was new . Regards Glenn . Edited April 23, 2015 by cardiff guy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
