Kibar Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Hallo everybody, I started a new project, Eurofighter Typhoon with a lovely tail art. I used Revell's Tiger Day version, decals from ModelMaker and PE set from Eduard. So far I find the kit not as precise in fitting like many modern kits. Well, I don't know better kit in this scale anyway and Tiger was a bargain! K. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJ-WobblyHands Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 nice seat ! wish I had not seen that - I was going to build my EuroFighter OOB , I have the Revell 'Bronze Tiger' Kit but will be purchasing decals for a UK Squadron ( not decided yet - demo bird, QRA ).

Eduars's parts really brought cockpit to live! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kibar Posted December 1, 2018 Author Share Posted December 1, 2018 So far the only thing that I can say about the kit is that the cockpit is really a piece of junk. Nothing fits without careful cutting! BAD! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kibar Posted December 9, 2018 Author Share Posted December 9, 2018 She has wings! Canopy is a little bit tinted, just like the real thing though I must admit I haven't seen a real thing yet. Anyway overall shape looks right judging by the reference photos. Intakes were a nightmare (lots of putty and sanding, sanding, sanding) but fitment of other parts is actually not bad 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
At Sea Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 That was quick! Looking at my unbuilt Typhoon it appears to be similar to many Jet kits in that once a few sub assemblies are together you very quickly have an aeroplane! Looking forward to your progress, I'm planning to blank my intakes with home made FOD covers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just had enough primer in my paintbrush to cover one ))) So it is not white, it's "natural: Revell plastic 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kibar Posted December 14, 2018 Author Share Posted December 14, 2018 I really fell in love with the shape of the plane and decided to build it with canopy closed. Open one kinda ruins the beautiful line from nose tip to the tail. Kit though doesn't impress at all. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldwin8 Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Nice looking jet, your build is a real sales pitch for this kit. Carry on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exdraken Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Now its black! Still ok kit.... and largely correct! I hope for a nuce resin seat one day.... and nozzles!! Aires????! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kibar Posted December 15, 2018 Author Share Posted December 15, 2018 (edited) Luftwaffe has a really nice colour combination! Time for more masking. Edited December 15, 2018 by Kibar 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kibar Posted December 17, 2018 Author Share Posted December 17, 2018 Slowly getting there... Not impressed by the decals, stencils are worthless, their "shade of grey" is totally invisible on top of FS35237, Luftwaffe colour of choice. Size of the tailart is slightly incorrect. Sloppy job by ModelMaker. Or may be they had Italeri kit in their minds? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exdraken Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Looking nice though! Maybe the Revell stencils are better? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think so, but unfortunately I have a Tiger version and all the stencils are messed up with these "Tiger stripes". Anyway, I am committed to finish the model without additional investments, by now it's a kind of willpower exercise )))) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
