Italian EF 2000 Typhoon in 1/32 scale. Kit from Trumpeter with additions from Aires and "wolf3dresinparts"

[al49]

In early January of current year (2024) I wanted to do something modern and Italian, and my choice fell on this subjec. I took many photos from the beginning, but I never started a w.i.p. story on this forum. I post here a few pictures of the complete model and in a while I will start a new tread in the relevant page to show some work-in-progress.
Modern aircraft are wery uniform in color, so I tried to add some life by choosing to replicate the commemorative livery "Baracca" issued for the 55th anniversary of Italian acrobatic team "Frecce Tricolori"

I like this Alberto, was it a good kit to build.

Not too bad, but required a number of adjustments, specially in the cockpit/canopy area, but also on wing-tip and nose sensors. I will post some details in my wip.

Nice realization congratulations.


I will follow your wip to understand if the Trumpeter or the Revell is better

Hi, when I decided to build an Italian Typhoon, I did some investigations and I found a report on the web stating that Revell kit is more accurate, because based on real European aircraft, but unfortunately none was available in Europe at that time, so I had to divert to Trumpetr kit.

So I did well, some time ago, to buy the Revell from a friend for 50€...

I then took the B of Trumpeter because the one of Revell is unobtainable
