EUROFIGHTER 1.72 RAF Quick Reaction Alert (QRA)
Duxford1985 replied to Duxford1985's topic in Work in Progress - Aircraft
After a trip to the A&E dept and have to have a couple of days of work i thought it would be a great time for some bench work. πͺπ I have decided to change my mind and do a eurofighter that is from 17 squadron. As i felt i wanted to use all the armaments that is in this kit. I am getting better at putting the very small decals on. Any good tips on how i could improve my build would be greatly received.πͺ -

I still like to paint the model as this is a 1.72 scale model. Happy with the colour mixing of the paint. There is always improvements to be made. I am still finding it hard to make the both cockpit parts to come together well and using pva glue to glue the cockpit to the model. What do other people use to secure the cockpit to the model any suggestions greatly received. There will soon have the decels on it dont know which squadron it will be. My son keeps going when will daddy finish this as i want it on my ceiling πͺπ -

Found some time in the man cave!!!!! Its been a long time since i have done a update on the build. Happy with the grey prime applied to the jet. Had a little trouble with the fit of this canopy and with a little bit of glue on the canopy as well π€π€―. I am so happy with the fuel probe as it was so hard to get it just right. Started on the 1000 litre fuel tank and the 2 x storm shadows. βοΈ -
The torch was at the end of the tunnel it was there. Happy with the outcome of the P51 mustang. Many techniques used for the first time and loved using the airbrush . This is my 3rd model i have done improving step by step. This is hanging up in my son room. He will be very excited with a silver plane. #youngplanespotter

Its been a little while since i have posted on here got some modeling done because Mr Covid came and said hi. learning lots of modeling techniques through out the build. Made some small mistakes with decals along the way but this is how you i can improve for my next model. When it come to aircraft wheels i always find this the part i have trouble with. Onwards and upwards to the next step of the build the P51 Mustang. .
