Italeri #862 1:48 Eurofighter Typhoon on the way for the amazing sum of £19! Should be here this week.

Good morning all. Not sure if this is in the right areas so I do apologise if not. When it comes to Tornados and masking the canopy, will any variant of Tornado mask from Eduard fit all or are there slight variations? The GR4 masking sets are a fortune on eBay at the minute whereas the IDS/ADV/F masks are cheaper. Many thanks

As opposed to chipping mediums, I've found that hairspray applied with an airbrush works very well. I apply my preferred undercoat, usually aluminium, wait a couple of hours or even a day and then apply the hairspray over the top. I wait another day and then apply the camo. I use Tamiya acrylics so after a couple of hours I can get to work with the chipping. All I do is brush the area for chipping with water and wait a minute and then use a cocktail stick. I first used this technique with my Ju87 and was very happy with it. For large areas with high traffic areas like wing roots and the suchlike I just use a sponge with XF-16 to create a worn effect. https://flic.kr/p/2k6jAif

No problem. Thank you for getting back to me.

Evening all, Great thread for all things Typhoon. My question is mainly for @Bobski. I see from a lot of your posts that you work at Warton (I live down the road in Leyland). I currently have a 1/32 single seater Typhoon in the stash and I'm looking to add to my previous 1/32 replica of AX by having her join up with IPA6. Bit of a wild question here but would you happen to know the sizes for the tail markings on IPA6 (flash and Royal Lancashire Air Force badge)? I'm really struggling to find decals for this jet or DA4. Many thanks in advance.

Hi there, I'm currently looking for a set of decals to complete a single seater Typhoon in the scheme of the BAE Systems test jet (IPA6 ZJ938). The model is 1:32 scale. Many thanks

Thank you for the welcome guys.

Hello everyone, I've been into the scale modelling hobby on and off for a number of years but now I'm back into it with renewed enthusiasm. Always aircraft and usually WWII, cold war and modern jets. Looking forward to seeing everyone's builds along with reading plenty of useful hints and tips.
