mackem01 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Has anyone built the Italeri 1/48 scale Eurofighter Typhoon, kit number 2610? How good is it on shape and detail and how well does it represent an R.A.F. machine? I would very much appreciate your opinion. T.I.A..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exdraken Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 It is a very ond kit and in some detail dies not present the series prod. planes. No matter if RAF or else. GO with the bew Revell one!! But take care. They originally boxed the Italeri effort !! (Italeri in Revell bix has real photo on the box..... do NOT buy it ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobski Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 The Italeri kit is based on the prototype Development Aircraft rather than a production aircraft. In terms of shape issues, the wingtip pods, rear fuselage, exhausts and seat are all wrong, and the pylons are a bit ropey as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guillaume320 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Does anyone now if the Typhoon Italeri is going to issue this year is their old one, or possibly a Revell reboxing? Even if it’s the old ‘prototype’ kit, I would still get it if it includes Italian 18Gruppo/37Stormo markings... gotta love that checkered rudder!

I don't see why they would rebox the Revell kit when they have their own. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
At Sea Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 https://www.scalemates.com/kits/977406-revell-03949-eurofighter-typhoon-bronze-tiger This is still very freely available. Has all the bits you need to make an RAF Typhoon. Plus loads and loads of stores. You will need aftermarket decals to make a service machine though. Typical Revell!
