Oh man that is looking good ! I say everybody here sends the Nevster their spare meatballs so he can continue to churn out these Oriental beauties.

Great job on the paint, Nev. She's really looking the part. And adding the missiles is really goijng to make her stand out.

Well, painted all the non-blue bits.  This baby is ready to be glossed and decalled!

Well, since you guys asked....

Had a bit of a disaster - dropped the model, nose first onto the table.  Pointy but will need a bit of reshaping....



But got all the decals on, plus a few stencils for intrest (shhhh, don't tell anyone, but they're in Italian ;)



Next time you see this, she will probly be done.

Italian, Japanese, Martian, all the same really!  Glad the prang didn't work out too badly Nev, especially at this stage.  Looking forward to seeing it done! :ph34r:

Is the IRST next to the cockpit part of the kit, or something you added?
The twoseater doesn't have that part.

Nev,

  Sorry to hear about the nose prang but looks like it'll fix okay.  Looking good otherwise.
  I noticed the gray panels on the wing inboard leading edges ... are those di-electric panels?  Hadn't picked up on them before and need to account for them on my Typhoons ...

regards,
Gary F

Actually it does Harro - see my build thread here

halfway through I realised that the instructions were wrong (for then) and took it off.  Pretty much all the RAF fleet seems to have PIRATE fitted now though.

Well, I can't find any reference to them, put if you look at pics of operational Typhoons, its clearly a different shade of grey



Compare it to the different grey on the nose of the wingtip DASS pod.  Which does make me wonder if there is some thing electronic involved there.  Also note the AMRAAM on the middle wing pylon - total of 6 AMRAAMs :D
