Apart from decals, nearly any single seat Typhoon kit should be suitable, no? Maybe apartfrom the very old Italeri ~prototype ones in 48th... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzz Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 I'm not really a fan of the scheme, from pics I've seen the black appears to be a matt finish which just doesn't look right to me. Would have been much nicer in a gloss black finish, not sure if this couldn't be done due operational reasons with the jet. Quite sure Xtradecal will be along with this and other 2021 display schemes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spruecutter96 Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 I watched the Typhoon on the three days of the Midlands air festival (both aircraft in the team also turned up on the Thursday for a "look-see", which was a real bonus). Very impressive and I liked the new scheme. Chris. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I'm just glad that a special scheme has been done at all. We will never reach a consensus on the best possible scheme, but I'm sure most would agree that the Typhoon's standard livery (along with most other military aircraft) is pretty drab! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that would look cool!! Miko (nice to see 29sqn doing the honors this year) (too many cooks and no imagination!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xtradecal suggest BS642 Night Black from their own ranges. Have a look at the images in the link above! https://www.hannants.co.uk/product/XA1012 https://www.hannants.co.uk/product/X012 But I suggest any satin black with a drop of grey will do! To me it is not fully gloss black... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's definitely not a gloss black. Might be a case of experimenting and seeing what's right. Thanks for the suggestion on the drop of grey. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby No Mac Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 With this scheme I can't help thinking that they reached the canards and said, "You know what this needs? More Union Jacks! Except maybe fluttering so it looks like we're not completely out of ideas." Reminds me of that Not The 9 O'Clock News where Rowan Atkinson's character keeps adding more toilets to his bathroom design. "Bit of a gap here..." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
