ilius Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 (edited) This is my Eurofighter Typhoon FGR4 Revell 1/48 - aircraft from 29th squadron RAF in paintwork in honor of the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Britain. The scheme of camuflage is the same as the Hawker Hurricane from 249 squadron. In general, I built it out of the box. I made the exhaust of the APU, added wires and tube lines in gear bays and on landing gears. And I used custom decals and "Removes" from Eduard Edited March 28, 2021 by ilius 53 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selwyn Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Very Nice build, I should point out that RAF Typhoons do not carry Sidewinders or Paveway III bombs! Selwyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sturmovik Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 The Typhoon in that scheme is on my "to do" list. Good job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Callahan Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 I like this special scheme a lot, not so bored as the ,,normal,, painted grey Eurofighters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nocoolname Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 To be honest I was never really into that scheme, even after seeing the above pair fly past my modelling window when I lived in Beaconsfield. But the more I see such fantastic builds as these the more I am genuinely warming to it. Bravo ilius! 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackem01 Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Great job on the Typhoon, love the intake cover. Is it home made? Now how about a Hurricane to go with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilius Posted April 2, 2021 Author Share Posted April 2, 2021 Thank you very much for Your good voices! )) On 31/03/2021 at 08:23, Selwyn said: Very Nice build, I should point out that RAF Typhoons do not carry Sidewinders or Paveway III bombs! Selwyn Selwyn, thanks for Your clarification. I'm not the Typhoons specialist. I only followed the instruction for the model. So, I'll must change the weapons in future.

Good idea, why not? Intake cover - it's handmade )) I took the foil cover from a choсolate bar and shape it for intake cover, and painted it Tamiya red enamel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started this kit early last year and had some major silvering on the decals which, alongside the fit issues of this kit, saw me abandoning it for another time.

Cheers Thank you RiotRolo I had a Revell kit with standard grey scheme decals. So, I had to order custom decals for this variant from one modeller. He printed it on a very thin decal paper. Stencil decals I used from the Revell kit. And finally I used decalfix from Zip-market for all decals and I didn't have silvering problem You can make same. Or, You can searching decals from Caracal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've actually just been looking at mine though and there are a number of rough patches so im guessing I was being a bit lazy before applying decals 😅 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
