Southern Eurofighter Typhoon

[anthonyp]

Here's an AMT 1/72 EFA.  I decided to make this a mud-runner of an EFA, and mounted the extra bomb hard points and racks.  I armed it with the kit's "AMRAAMs" and Sidewinders, as well as "velocity challenged" bombs.  I had some decals from Aztec Models for the Guatemalan Air Force, both high vis and low vis.  I went with the low-vis, and painted it up like one of their A-37's.

No backstory, just felt like doing it this way.

Last pic, in that same hanger the Argentinian F-16L was photographed in.

Man, "proper" camo Eurofighters are the BEST!

Wow is that a great camo paintjob! Those low-viz markings are somehow just right on that bird! Great work!

Now that's just plain groovy. Maybe my monitors a bit off but it looks like blue and green? Which I love. The hangar shot is great  

And how is that AMT kit I got one buried in the stash awaiting my attention.

Thanks for the comments!

The AMT kit is OK.  I like the Airfix EFA better, but that's because it's got less peices to the fuselage to misalign.  It's got more ordinance, but only comes with Sidewinders instead of ASRAAM's like the Airfix kit.

The paint scheme is gunship grey and medium green.

Nice to see a Typhoon in decent colours. She looks spot on. Nice, very nice.
