giemme Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 (edited) Hi everybody; here's my new project, the 1/72 Revell Eurofighter Typhoon This type entered into Italian Air Force service (AMI, Aeronautica Militare Italiana) in 2004, and it's currently deployed in three different bases: Grosseto (4° Stormo), Gioia del Colle (36° Stormo) and Trapani Birgi (37° Stormo). The kit supplied decals allow to build six different versions: two Germans, one Austrian, one British, one Spanish and one Italian, which is the one I'm doing. Typical Revell instruction sheet, with basically useless color table - it only refers to Revell paints The airframe I'm going to reproduce and the sprues (there's many of them ) The clear parts: the windshield shows some bubbles While the canopy has an annoying moulding seam going all along mid-line I'm planning to use the AM cockpit set from PAVLA More later, now I need to take care of my lawn.

Steve Coombs Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 Oh yes, definitely one to watch. I wish you well with the air data sensors that go under the nose! Cherish that 2007 boxing of the kit; later issues only offer one set of markings, and not necessarily the set that you might want. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perdu Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 Was anyone bringing pickled mussels?

Creepy Pete Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 Cool beans! I did the same one a couple years ago and found it mostly an enjoyable build. Will you fix the panels around the cockpit? Revell designed it as a twinseater, so it's not quite accurate for a single seater. Here's how mine turned out. Incidently, it's the same one as the one that crashed in the sea during a display a couple years ago. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent result, Pete From the MM (Matricola Militare, the aircraft serial number) it appears it's indeed the same aircraft. What is odd is that the instructions actually show a different MM from the decal sheet, that is M.M. 7235. If you look that up, pictures show a different airframe number, that is 4-13 (as opposed to the 4-12 related to M.M. 7278) Thanks for pointing out the panels issue Have you got any more details you want to share, please? TIA Well, big crowd already - no pressure then, right? Ciao 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIA Ciao Hmm, I remember the airbrake being a bit of a pain to make it fit in the closed position. And the windscreen doesn't quite fit either. Otherwise it really isn't too bad. Also, pickled mussels? Really? That's something people eat? Edited May 5, 2019 by Creepy Pete crococopters 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
