RMCS Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 This is my latest build. Revell 1:48 Eurofighter Typhoon single seat RAF 29Sqn Display Aircraft from the 2014 season. I have had this in my stash for several years and wanted to build it using the xtradecal Typhoon display decals to depict the 2014 display aircraft which I have always thought was stunning. I purchased the Olimp resin seamless air intake and exhaust can set so I could build a clean aircraft along with with the BigEd PE set. The build went relatively smoothly with the resin sets only needing some slight filling and sanding. I was impressed with the fit and detail of the it, only adding some scratch building in the wheel wells to add interest and depth. The Eduard set in the cockpit is a must as it really sets it alive and cannot be beaten. As usual I painted the aircraft using Vallejo Air colours finished off in a satin coat with a light wash and weathering as these aircraft are usually presented as pristine. I wanted to show the versatility of the aircraft and to do this I thought adding an array of ordnance would do it nicely. This particular aircraft would not have been operational in 2104, but would have continued to fly training sorties so to add some colour and interest I have loaded it with a variety of training ordnance.This is a sort after, discontinued kit and hopefully the re - issue in Sept will bring some more great examples of this single seat aircraft. 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nickthebrief Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 That's lovely... Having written off most modern jets as "boring grey" this one has made me think again. Great skill, subtle weathering and just a beautiful result. Nick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DDELK Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Beautiful A/C, I've never been s big fan of the Typhoon, but you really did this one up nicely and I think putting the ordnance on it really gives it some character.. NICE WORK!! Dave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am glad someone successfully used Olimp resin parts, as I have them too but could not find any online application/ reference for now! stunnning! one question though, did you use the inner parts of the exhasut nozzles as well? they look a bit strange on the photos...

techniquest Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 It looks really nicely built, but as Selwyn said, a very strange load-out. Also - dare I say - it looks far too dark, and shiny. That may just be the photography &/or lighting however. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
