I think it's all going to fit better if I add the upper wings to the one piece lower wing and then add it to the fuselage.

I agree. I do it myself all the time. I never understood why they tell you that.

I've always love the sleekness and bad ass look of the Eurofighter Typhoon. I've done the Revell of Germany 1/72 scale kit but have yet done one in 1/48 scale.

The Eurofighter is one that I need to add to my stash and builds. Just haven't done it yet... :headslap:

There's not a lot of choice unfortunately, just like the Tornado in 1/48.

Yeah, I've built a couple Typhoons in 1/72 scale, but I still need one for my Italian Air Force. I've only done British and German so far.

Impressive work so far! I also add the wing tops to the one-piece lower wing as well.

I added some Liquid Gravity into the nose and got it attached. It fits pretty well. The wings will be glued on next.

I drilled out the APU exhaust hole. Now there's some kind of exhaust ports on the base of the tail. On the kit they're solid. Should I drill them out?

Got the wings on. Had to compromise with the steps on top and bottom. Using clamps, I got both to a point that I can easily work with. Now it's time to sand and fill.

Looking good, Mike!
