Phill318 Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 (edited) Just finished Revell's 1/48 Typhoon in the 60th Anniversary markings of Taktisches Luftwaffengeschwader 71 "Richthofen". Built OOB with the addition of a Hasegawa Phantom pilot and Phase Hangar Resin's APU exhaust. I used AK extreme metal for the exhausts, AK Real Colour FS35237 and RAF Barley Grey for the main body and radome respectively. Decals went down really well with microset and microsol. A few small creases but nothing the sol couldn't sort out. It's the first time I've had such an extensive decal scheme so I'm quite happy with the results. Hope you enjoy...

SAT69 Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Truly, and I do mean truly, beautiful build. Extraordinary no matter which angle you look at it. As I recall, the Revell Eurofighter isn't an easy build so your success is all the more remarkable. Photography is quite good too! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avgas Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 That's turned out very well. I wanted to buy one of these but wasn't sure how such enormous decals would behave. I'm happy to hear they were good so I may just get one yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Brantley Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Incredibly fine Typhoon! 👍 The decals turned out great; I would certainly be quite nervous attempting that scheme. Well done indeed Phil! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColinChipmunkfan Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Phil, that is amazing, the finish and the decals are first class, you must have the patience of a saint. I can't ever see the RAF honouring any of our aces in such a way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the British way, really, but there was the VC-10 fleet all named after VCs....some might say a more elegant and classy way to commemorate?? Good model though! P.s. How about the GN-A Typhoon commemorating Nicholson? Edited June 27, 2020 by KevinK Postscript 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
