1/32 Eurofighter Typhoon Twin Seat (Revell)
Posted by Tubosteve on Thursday, April 6, 2017 6:04 PM

Hi All,

A few photos below of my first real atempt at modelling a 'modern' fighter jet. It's not perfect, but this is how it turned out and I'm happy enough. Build is OOTB as I'm still a newbie and not confident enough to start being too clever. Painted by hand in Tamiya paint (except for main body color which was Hobby color FS35237) and finished with rattlecan Satin varnish.

Just after taking these photos outside I dropped the damm thing and quite a few bits pinged off - but managed to get it all back together and looks almost as good as new Indifferent

Hopefully I have done this correct and you will see the photos !

 

 

Stay safe........Steve

Looks great!  I know what you mean about dropping things, I did that with my B-25 right after I finished it.  I was attempting to hang it on the wall, and it slipped.Surprise  I put it on a shelf at that point, few months later decided to move it, and yet again dropped it.  Managed to fix it all up and you'd never know I had butter fingers twice!

This really looks nice. Especially good job on all the seams, i thought the loadout looked good as all those halves can be a pain to make look good under paint.

In the pattern: Scale Shipyard's 1/48 Balao Class Sub! leaning out the list...NOT! Ha, added to it again - Viper MkVii, 1/32 THUD & F-15J plus a weekend madness build!

Bish, it is indeed one Mr Johannes "Macky" Steinhoff Big Smile

Unfortunately Macky is only one the right side of the fin. I trashed the decal for the left side by soaking in Clear and not decalfix ! Picked up the wrong bottle! I have another post reaching out to the community to see if anyone has it (Revell haven't any as this model is discontinued).

Stay safe........Steve
