Nocoolname Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 Hi folks! I've got the twin-seat Eurofighter Typhoon in the stash but all of the colour scheme's I've found so far look really bland. Does anyone know of any really colourful twin-seater's out there that I might look to emulate? All help appreciated. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Head in the clouds. Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 How about one of the two seat prototypes, DA,4 with interesting wing markings and insignia. And it is preserved so available for closer inspection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stever219 Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 ZH590/DA4 is presently being readied for a move from the IWM site at Duxford to Newark Air Museum. The intention is that she’ll be there some time in late spring or early summer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nocoolname Posted March 15, 2020 Author Share Posted March 15, 2020 Thanks folks! I saw that Italian scheme and was quite intrigued. However, I really like the idea of the prototype described above, especially as it will fit nicely with my other British prototypes. Question is though: what to do about decals? I’ve not seen any in the AM lists, especially those ‘tri-national’ roundels. Any advice? Cheers for now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers for now I'm not sure what scale you're building in but the multinational markings were included in some of the first generation "Eurofighter" or "EFA" kits which some manufacturers produced, for instance the initial release of the 1/72nd scale Italeri EF-2000 kit Edited March 15, 2020 by Richard E 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avoid the plastic though... Edited March 15, 2020 by exdraken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nocoolname Posted March 15, 2020 Author Share Posted March 15, 2020 Just bought the Italeri kit which had the right decals with it. Also bought an old Esci Tornado to scavenge the MRCA tri-national decals for my RAF GR.1 prototype. Looks like I'll have a lot of 'spare plastic' on my hands after my decal raid. 😬 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WV908 Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 (edited) Both the early Italeri 1/48 kits had markings for the British prototypes, ZH588 and ZH590 Source - spent ages tracking both kits down last year and had to pay through the nose for a pair from France....

Me as the kits are based on the prototypes, not production models and I want to build ZH588 and ZH590. I managed to get the pair for £50 including delivery from France, which wasn't overly cheap. I should clarify that it was the postage from France that was the expensive part. Cheers, WV908 Edited March 24, 2020 by WV908 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
