The Spadgent Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 (edited) Welcome to the RFI of my Revell Eurofighter Typhoon single seater 1/72. She is OOB except for the canopy which is a Pavla vac form one that I had to use as I killed the original. I scratched a few internal bits but apart from that she's box fresh. Painted in Tamiya acrylics and Vallejo metal colour with washes by Flory. The kit went together quite well a few bumps along the road but over all I'm pretty happy with the way she turned out. about half way through I decided to add the D-Day stripes which I'm really happy with. ( My first painted stripes ) I hadn't planned on taking the snaps yet but it was such a lovely sunrise this morning I decided to drag myself out of bed and take some snaps in the garden before heading off to see my old mum on Mother's Day. I think this one should be dedicated to her. The WIP can be found here. Without further ado let's get on with the pictures. I hope you like em. And that's your lot I hope you like them. Thanks to everyone for tagging along in the WIP and helping me through the tough bits and all the technical help. There are a few gaps and errors here and there but I'm happy and damned if I'm going back now. She's in the cabinet and that's that. I have started my new build thread here. If you fancy another joyous ride of the rum and uncanny. Take care and as always Happy Modelling. John.

andymoore Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Excellent result & a thoroughly entertaining WIP, though it is a tad small.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBaron Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 How fetching is that? Not only a gorgeously painted rendition of this aircraft but some really atmospheric shots to boot. I love the angle and light and shadow in that penultimate photo - just fabulous! Tony 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdrianMF Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 The stripes are great and the canopy looks good opened up too. I didn't realise that the underside could get so busy with all those stores - it's a great contrast to the topside view. Nice one!

daront Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Been away with work for a few weeks, so its so nice to see this Typhoon finished and it looks amazing. I am starting my Tiffy tonight, although will take me many weeks. If it looks half as good as yours then i will be happy.

NealParkes Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 That is one fine looking Typhoon there!! Especially as the kit is a bit of a pig!! I've got two in my stash and need to pluck up the courage to get them going, I must say though your build is a inspiration for me and I'll be going back to your build for help when I do mine! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristow95 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Lovely work. Invasion stripes look lovely on almost any plane. 😍 I think it's the contrast between the two, I remember when the typhoon had them a few years back on the airshow circuit. Top marks very impressed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exdraken Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Great model! And well armed! Although I will never understand why its designers did not cater for big external tanks and heavy stores to be carried at the same time... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
