Eurofighter Typhoon

Claimed by its supporters to be a worthy rival to the stealthy F-22 Raptor, the Eurofighter Typhoon boasts of advanced avionics, replaceable computers and supercruise capability—without the high cost.

Trumpeter will release both the single seat and the two seater versions of the Eurofighter in this large scale. We are fortunate to have the both in this Preview.   

The fuselage appears to be finely riveted. Some flash was noted, however this appears to be the result of the flash found in the test molds.

In dry fitting the fuselage, the model is about 20 inches long with a wingspan of around 14 inches.

All in all, the kit appears to be very promising.
