Kibar Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Hallo! Well, the project is complete. I wouldn't say that I enjoyed the build. The kit goes together only when being asked politely with a gun in your hand. A LOT of cutting, sanding and so on. It looks like Eurofighter to me, but Revell was just l lazy engendering this kit. Manual is nicely printed but sloppy too. But it's a cheap kit, so no offence. Just don't pay more than 20 Euro for it. Anyway, it's a great opportunity to try new techniques and improve your skills. I've used some aftermarket parts. Eduard 49367 is adequate and helps a lot to detail the model. Reskit (from Ukraine I believe) wheels are really nice. They are a little bit smaller than those in the kit, I think they are correct. And now ModelMaker decals. It's a piece of crap. I almost decided that the model is ruined. Everything is wrong with this product, colours, fonts, size and so on. Instructions are laughable. Very sloppy job, simply don't buy it. I don't know about other products of this producer, may be they are better, but I wouldn't use anything from them. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone!

Vultures1 Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 That's a really nice result, especially given all the trials you had in the build and decalling. Great job! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exdraken Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Looking really great abd the scheme seperates it well from all the other specials! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Hello Kibar, Maybe not easy in construction, but the end result is excellent. You should be proud of it. Did you unload the gun in a safe direction. Regards, Orion 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kitchen Modeller Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 It's a shame that you didn't enjoy the kit - the resulting model is great however. Hopefully your ill feeling towards it will fade over time. The construction doesn't seem to have any obvious flaws and even the decals look fine in the photo's. The paint job is great, with nice subtle weathering. I really like the scheme also - it makes me want to attempt the subject - though I'll probably avoid this particular kit! Does anyone have a recommendation for a good kit of the Typhoon? From what I can tell, no manufacturer has done something decent as yet. I certainly know that feeling of frustration after a trying model experience. I'd recommend doing a well known "good fit" kit next which will reinvigorate your modelling passion to new levels! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzby061 Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Well worth the effort. Looking at the finished product I wouldn’t have guessed the trouble you’ve had with it. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qn30jEkPz7 Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Nice model even if it fought you (& the home decor in the last shot is very tasteful as well) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deano353 Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Very nice looking result. I've made this twice and the 32nd scale kit once. It's a good looking plane and I've the 48th Bronze Tiger in my stash. I wish revell hadnt made the intakes the way they did that's literally my only real gripe with this kit as they're a pain in the a**. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
At Sea Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 I have 2 Revell Typhoon's in the stash and would be delighted if they came out like this! Nice job. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
