SPA Modeler

Thanks Carlos. I would guess that if they went up agaisnt an opposition with an air force worthy of note, they would. But the typhoons have only seen action over syria and Libya. Even agaisnt Iraq in 91 and 03 our aircraft carried colourful markings including sharks teeth and nose art.

Some of them have. I've seen recent pics of Typhoons with all the markings in low viz. So much so that you can barely see them.

The ones stationed in Estonia a couple of years back had pretty low viz markings...







Who's your money on?

That one would come down to pilot skill. Those jets are pretty equally matched. Although the Typhoon is getting an AESA radar now.

Interesting tail marking. Looks like a NATO badge. It looks like the Sq markings were removed completly.

I think its been over a month since my last update, but i'm finally able to get some updates posted. The Typhoon got a Flry wash, i didn't want to get it to grubby, just in use.







I added some exhaust stainign around the APU exhaust before the mat coat. All the remaining parts were then fitted.





The Litening pod on the centre station is Eduard resin. The GBU's from one of Hasegawa's weapons sets. The rest from the kit. Its nice to see Hase adding ordanance to its kits.



So the Typhoon is all but done. I just have to paint and add the FOD covers for the intakes and add some RBF tags then i can add it to the base. I still have some ground equipment to finish and figures to sort out and paint.

Awesome some. I really like that paint work!

Beautiful work there Bish! Can’t wait to see the finished photos.

Nice!

Thanks guys. Its just about wrapped up, though i may have to get back to some figures when i can find some that work for it.
