Filipe Fonseca Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 (edited) Hi Guys Here´s my Revell 1/48 Eurofighter with Eduard's cockpit PEs. Still a long way to go. For now, sanding and some more sanding! The seat is still in need of some minor dry brushing but it will wait until its time to glue it in place. Hope you enjoy! Fell free to comment!

Vadim Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Good job in cockpit and intakes! I built the 1/72 Revell Eurofighter once, so will be interesting to watch yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filipe Fonseca Posted December 14, 2016 Author Share Posted December 14, 2016 Hi Guys Thanks for the support! Viper, the APU was made from a straw out of a pack of chocolate milk. I will post more photos soon. I Still have to take some images of the entire aircraft as it is now. Best regards Filipe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giemme Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Great job so far, Filipe! I have the 1:72 version of this in my syash, and I think it's just a downsizing of this. Can you please explain how you did the seamless intakes, as I'd like to reproduce the same thing on my kit? TIA Ciao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filipe Fonseca Posted December 14, 2016 Author Share Posted December 14, 2016 (edited) Hi Guys Thanks Giemme! The "almost" seamless intakes were done by rolling two tubes of photographic paper - holded in position with scotch tape - and gluing them to the parts provided by revell and by adding two old F-4 Phantom exhausts from the spare box. I prefer using photographic paper to plastic sheet because its easier to work/roll/cut and its white as well so any problems in painting will be minimized. The rest is kit parts and putty - Lots of putty and elbow grease! Its similar (simpler) to these ones I made on my KA-6D Intruder - http://www.arcforums.com/forums/air/index.php?/topic/256144-ka-6d-intruder/&do=findComment&comment=2529728 Hope it helps Best regards Filipe Edited December 14, 2016 by Filipe Fonseca 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

giemme Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Thanks Filipe, I love the photographic paper idea Great detailing job on your Intruder, BTW PS: how does photo paper react to being sanded/blended with putty and/or plastic? Thanks again Ciao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filipe Fonseca Posted December 15, 2016 Author Share Posted December 15, 2016 Hi Guys Giemme, it held its one with some care, plastic is stronger. You have to sand it more carefully but it does the job. Here´s a small update on the Eurofighter, think all the work paid off! I´m going to rest now on the intakes and move to add some detail to the instrument cover and correct other areas that need putty. Hope you enjoy! Fell free to comment!

Filipe Fonseca Posted December 16, 2016 Author Share Posted December 16, 2016 Hi Guys Thank you for the support! Here´s a small update on the Eurofighter. Test fit on the intakes and the panel cover is well on the way to be finished, still needs paint and the hud. Hope you enjoy! Fell free to comment!

Filipe Fonseca Posted December 21, 2016 Author Share Posted December 21, 2016 Hi Guys Here´s a small update on the Eurofighter! I have decided to resand the intakes and repaint them, They seam better now. Hope that´s the end of that. I have also grossly airbrushed some blue to find areas in need of some retouch. Thought it was worse them it is, so good news here! Next, some retouch where needed! Hope you enjoy! Fell free to comment!
