MarineFlieger Eurofighter (Navalised)

[anthonyp]

Here's my replacement for the F-4JG's and F-4SG's in MarineFlieger service aboard their Deutschland and Bismark class carriers.  The standard Eurofighter has been modified with a tandem forward landing gear and a tail hook.  The British received their Naval Eurofighters first, but were overly worried about safety, thus the first deployment of the new fighter went to the Germans.

This was a 1/72 Airfix Eurofighter.  Of the two old Eurofighter kits I've built so far (this, and the Esci one), I like this one the best.  Went together with no problems, and was more accurate in terms of landing gear (before I hacked off the nose gear) despite being a year older than the other.
