reggie78usmc Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 This is the Revell 1/48th Eurofighter Typhoon Kit 04568. I found it on eBay for a pretty decent price and it included a nice variety of RAF decals. The build was good. a few fit issues but overall not that bad and I actually had fun with this kit. Putting it "in-flight" was easy as the landing gear doors fit well in the closed position. I was confused by what type of armament the typhoon utilized so I did some research and found pictures of the typhoon with Paveway bombs and a targeting pod mounted on the bottom of the fuselage (attached pictures for the references I used). I used the GBU-16's and AN/AAQ-14 from a Hasegawa Weapons set D. The pilot is from a Tamiya F-16. I had to shave down the seat to make it fit with the canopy glass in the closed position. I know the Markings are from 2005 but they work to make the kit look like an FGR.4. I am not a Typhoon expert but it works for me. I would definitely build this kit again.

exdraken Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Very nice!! Your load out is nearly correct, if you want you could ask here while researching.... you usually get this sort of answers quickly here! The Eurofighter does use the GBU-16, just the RAF does not. They used the EPW II instead. ( same 1000lb, but a different bomb type and slightly different guidance unit) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Brantley Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Great looking model! 😀 That kit was one of my choices when I built my "what-if?" Confederate Air Force fighter. I think it's a nice looking modern aircraft and you've really done her justice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
