alxzinbox Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Hello again! I've been down with a nasty case of modellers block lately, and to shake it off I decided to do a quick build of the Airfix Eurofighter in 1/72. The kit has little to no detail, and raised panel lines which aren't necessarily accurate. I did precious little research, and even less detailing on the aircraft- saving it for when I build the Hasegawa offering.Built almost entirely OOB, I sanded off all raised detail, and slapped together the parts with putty where ever required. I couldn't resist adding a touch of detail in the exhausts and an instrument panel. The main goal was to get directly to paint as soon as possible to test out an airbrush I purchased recently. The kit decals were damaged, so I turned to spares to source some. Finding a dozen unused Red Stars lying around from older kits and various decal sheets, and recently viewing a cool color scheme of the Su-30.... ... I present to you the Eurofighter Aggressor. In a first, I weathered the undersides of the fuselage using pencil lead and masking tape. The results weren't too bad. Thanks for watching! Cheers, Alex. 35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon382 Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 That looks great! If not an aggressor then the result of an exceptionally successful sales pitch to Mr Putin!?! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
