KillerMig Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Here's a RAF twin seater in 1/48th scale. Nice kit, accurate overall shape but very very poor surface details. All the rivets on the wings and tail are handmade... Took modeler's liberty to keep the air brake deployed, which is something you do not see when Typhoon's parked but adds to the beauty of the aircraft on the ground I think... Thanks for looking and happy modeling... KillerMig 47 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exdraken Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 very nice model! loaded to the max! as I see you are heading for accuracy and detail, I hope you do not mind some observations!: Speedbrake: actuator is mounted differently: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/94/Eurofighter_Typhoon_01.jpg your wing mounted Meteors, would need launch rails most likely too, not sure if Meteors are cleared for wing stations currently! http://www.airpower.at/news03/1002_ef_meteor_irist/meteor_1.jpg and finally, not sure if both ailerons drop while the rudder is deflected... but then again, very nice and weathered Typhoon!

Speedbrake actuator 😲😲 Well, you're so right Exdraken ! How I missed that, I really do not know Side effects of excessive riveting I guess... Corrected it immediately, danke sehr That Meteor issue is a bit complicated, I know, and Revell seems to know no better than I do And as for the ailereons... Well.. Let's assume they do for the sake of artistic purposes, shall we Thanks for the information and constructive comments. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IvanVasili Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Beautifully finished and fine photograhic captures. Perhaps a little bit over-weathered, but still looking good. All that rivet work clearly paid off 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtkrl92 Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Well, that's a mighty Typhoon, full to the neck Very nice model, a little bit dirty maybe... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deano353 Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Very nice finish looks great. Just something I noticed the flaperons on the Typhoon point upwards at rest rather than down from any photos I have seen which is unusual otherwise looks great. How did you find the intake construction? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoobydoof Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Is that a mix of Meteors and AIM120 under the fuselage as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selwyn I believe I can live with the red stripes, as I thankfully do not suffer such gripes and choose to suffice with the general look as an average modeller.

SpeedyGonzales Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 A Typhoon full of Stormshadows, Meteors and some other stuff I do not know the names of. And still, the inner pylons are missing and did not come with the box if I remember correct. Load these LG bombs too and what a sight that would be... Great looking model, though too much weathered for my modeling taste, but that's me... And it's hard not to appreciate all that riveting work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would be a the common flight controls position for most airplanes once there's no more hydraulic pressure left and there's a crosswind on the apron. The rudder is being moved/positioned by the wind and the elevons etc. are drooped. The Typhoon automatically goes into lift dump as soon as the engines are shut down, which means that the foreplanes are deflected fully (60°) down (so they don't interfere with the ladder) and the elevons are fully deflected up (20°) which is, in case of the Typhoon, the parked position for the actuators. That's why the Typhoon elevons have the rather unusual elevon deflection. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hadn't noticed before that the comment came from a "very obsessed member". OK, then I'll change them to blue, so everybody at home will sleep comfortably with the great relief that they are inert and won't explode.

How did you find the intake construction? The intake construction is quite poor, or it rather simply does not exist, as we discussed during WIP. One should spend some time for scratch-building or better cover it with a FOD cover. I did neither, hence the absence of head-on photos As for flaperons... Yes, it seems I've done them wrong just because I assumed they would behave like on other many aircrafts and neglected to check with the references.

PZL104 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 (edited) Tiny correction; The 'flaperons' on the Typhoon are actually elevons. (There are no flight control surfaces which act as flaps on the Typhoon) Edited August 8, 2019 by PZL104 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
