Aviano Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Hello everyone, my name is Oliver, 35 years old and this is my first post here on BM. May i present you my Revell 1:32 RAF-Typhoon. Build with Eduard Interior, Eduard Exterior, RBF and Seatbelts. Colors with Revell spraycans (i have no airbrush) After long time studing the walkways i build the Eurofighter in about 3 months hard work. This is my first build after a break of nearly 20 years, please go easy There where lots of problems with this kit (intake, apu, speedbreak...) But finally, i managed it. Now, its almost done (APU, cleaning and a glasbox for the aircraft) and my next build i started yesterday will be a Revell 1:32 BAe Hawk. Please feel free to critise as everyone learns from there mistakes. Enjoy the pics. Oliver 33 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caution Wake Turbulence Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Looks very good to me - and nice photos too. My only other comment is that I think the canopy should look more like this: http://www.airliners.net/photo/Germany---Air/Eurofighter-EF-2000-Typhoon/2730413/L/&sid=842c517fe62fa2f3c0ebe63381466df5 Cheers, Andrew 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aviano Posted November 16, 2015 Author Share Posted November 16, 2015 Hi Andrew, thanks. The next canopy will be better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan P Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Twenty years worth the wait! Very nice work. I can see the canopy gave you trouble... This is because Revell never intend their kits to be displayed with the canopy open, you always have to improvise! Otherwise it's a great result, and a very good example of how to apply the Eduard sets, well done. Al 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caution Wake Turbulence Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 The canopy itself looks fine, I just mean that I think it should sit lower down, with the back end just below the top of the spine: http://c7.alamy.com/comp/AJ2WM3/eurofighter-typhoon-jet-fighter-interceptor-cockpit-and-canopy-open-AJ2WM3.jpg Cheers, Andrew 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aviano Posted November 16, 2015 Author Share Posted November 16, 2015 Thanks Alan, the Eduard PE is perfect for the Kit! Now i´ll build 2-3 Revell kits (BAe Hawk, Tornado & Rafale) because my son gave it to me and for christmas my present will be the 1:32 ITALERI Mirage IIIC I hope my skills then are better....... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aviano Posted November 16, 2015 Author Share Posted November 16, 2015 Yes Andrew, you are right! But that means than that Revell made a mistake because the connecting part is to long. I must look after work, maybe i can cut it...... Thank´s for the info! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selwyn Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Really nice build. looks like a Typhoon to me. Criticism? markings are wrong for live operational missiles. Selwyn 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon382 Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Welcome back to the hobby. Looking very good indeed. One question though, it has 'kill' markings by the nose. Do you know the history behind these? If you don't no problem, just intrigued that's all Looking forward to your next build 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aviano Posted November 16, 2015 Author Share Posted November 16, 2015 Hi Simon, thanks for your comment (and all other gents ). I don´t know what you mean with "kill markings" - if you mean the black line on the nose - i fond them on many typhoon pics (they are grey, mine a much darker....)

Aviano Posted November 16, 2015 Author Share Posted November 16, 2015 Simon, now i know what you mean ( )........... the KILLMARKING near the windshield! Yes i know what that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcdonnell Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Hello,Oliver- My compliments to you on a beautiful looking build of your 'Typhhoon'.I love the quality and detail of the paint and finishing work.She is a credit to you and a fine tribute to 11 Squadron's current type.With your obvious modelling skills it would be a straightforward task with care just to reduce the length of the canopy mounting peg and that would,in my opinion,conclude a fine job throughout.Welcome to Britmodeller..All the best,Paul. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent K Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 No criticism from me, that really is a well made, well presented and finished kit, not over weathered or such, really well done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aviano Posted November 17, 2015 Author Share Posted November 17, 2015 Good morning to all that gave me such a good resonance of my build!
