Having not built a jet for many a year, my son asked me to build him a Typhoon after seeming two fly low over our house the other day. No room for the 1/32nd on but I managed to pick up the smaller one at a reasonble price at my LHS, so here we go.

Built the cockpit today:-







Just wainting for all the lead shot to dry in the nose and I will close the fuselage. More soon and wish me luck!

I'm looking forward to seeing how your Eurofighter turns out. It's one of my favorite planes, although I haven't built one yet - I haven't decided on a nationality or scheme yet. I might do a Saudi one, if I can find or print decals for it. Anyway, good luck - I'll be watching with interest.

careful, before putting together the fuselage yuo need to work with some plastic card to close the air intakes and the wheel bays.

If not, you end up with a "see through" plane
