Popular Post alex_stela Posted April 7, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 7, 2021 Here is my 1:72 Eurofighter Typhoon FGR.4, ZJ949 "H", No. 1435 Flight Royal Air Force, RAF Mount Pleasant, Falkland Islands, 2015. Hasegawa kit, which is a bit disappointing for the "best 1:72 Typhoon kit on the market" - yes, it's nice molded and quite accurate, but have some annoying fit issues and only "in-flight" configuration of engine nozzles. Nothing that you expect from 2012 Hasegawa kit priced about 30 GBP. Small Eduard brass for the cockpit, Reskit exhaust nozzles and Pavla MB Mk.16A ejection seat have been added. Painted mostly with Gunze C334 "Barley Grey". Decals are mix of Hasegawa, Revell and self-printed (1435 Flight emblems). It's the third (and probably the last) model in my little project "Falklands Guardians", which was to include all 3 types of fighters used by the RAF on Falkland Islands after 1982. So here they are together: Phantom FGR.2 of 23 Squadron, RAF Stanley 1983 (Fujimi), Tornado F.3 of 1435 Flight, RAF Mt. Pleasant 1999 (Revell ex-Italeri) and Typhoon FGR.4 of 1435 Flight, RAF Mt. Pleasant 2015 (Hasegawa): Thanks for watching! 109 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marlin Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 WOW. What a great collection you've got there alex_stela @alex_stela I've planned my own collection of the same aircrafts but in 1/48. You wouldn't happen to know if there are any Falklands Typhoon decals avaliable in 1/48? /Bosse 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supersonic Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 Very fine looking Typhoon along with the other 2 Jet icons! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAT69 Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 (edited) Despite the fit issues, the Typhoon came out looking wonderful. It's a shame about the fit issues though. I had hoped the kit would be one of Hasegawa's great ones. Edited April 7, 2021 by SAT69 misspell 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a great collection you've got there alex_stela @alex_stela You wouldn't happen to know if there are any Falklands Typhoon decals avaliable in 1/48? /Bosse There should be no problem with 1/48 decals for 23 Squadron Phantom and 1435 Flight Phantom or Typhoon, as you can find them in Xtradecal offer. But for Tornado F.3 it would be harder - however I found quite old Czech "4+" publication with 1435 Flight decals. I don't know if it's still available. I had the same problem in 1/72, that's why I had to self-print some decals for Tonka and EF. Best regards, Alex 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mott Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 All three look fantastic. Remember "H" being a bit of a problem child on my last tour! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Riot Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Outstanding work, on all three! Beautiful colours all of them, looking just right. And those jet pipes and rear fuselage metal areas on the Typhoon look real. Brilliant. You do need a Harrier though! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mott Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 "H" as I remember her from my last tour. Dirty and very "High Maintenance", especially in the slat department. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sky Keg Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 Put me down for a huge YES to the Typhoon. She looks great with the equally impressive Phantom and Tornado. Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
