I saw and loved Electrik Blue's Sea Typhoon, so I have two recent additions to my stash and they happen to be Typhoons. One by Revell and the other Airfix (part of the Then and Now set). I am contemplating getting two of the Revell 1:144 eurofighters and using the fins from them and carefully removing the larger kit's tailfin and of course constructing the booms + fins.

Does this sound too outrageous, or has anyone gone down this contruction avenue before? I am wondering about any pitfalls that I have not considered.

Any advice gratefully received.

The original EAP design had twin fins, so it should look good. Airfix announced a 1/72nd kit of it way back when but it never got released (same year they announced a Nautilus from the Disney movie 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea that also never turned up!).
