EUROFIGHTER TYPHOON FGR.4 STARTER SET

Airfix release their latest starter kit package, the Eurofighter Typhoon FGR.4.

Now described as the world’s most advanced swing-role combat aircraft, the Typhoon has developed into a true multi-role platform and arguably one of the most effective combat aircraft in service today.

Coming in with full afterburner, the Eurofighter Typhoon FGR.4 proudly joins the Airfix Starter Set Squadron! Ranked at skill level 1, the A55016 Eurofighter Typhoon FGR.4 Starter Set in 1/72 scale is now available within the Airfix ‘Starter Set’ range, all designed with the beginner in mind! Once completed, the newly moulded kit measures an overall length of 220mm and 153mm in width, containing 43 pieces.

The kit includes a shadow display stand, allowing you to proudly display your finished build on its bespoke stand. This Starter Set also includes all the necessary acrylic paints, poly cement and paintbrush, to complete your model.

Forming the backbone of the modern Royal Air Force, the Typhoon has been continually upgraded throughout its service life and is a far more capable aircraft today than the one which first arrived atRAF Coningsby back in 2006. Now a familiar sight in Britain’s skies, the Eurofighter Typhoon is the RAF’s current airspace defender and, whilst it entered service back in 2006 as a dedicated air superiority fighter, this fourth-generation combat aircraft has proven itself to be much more than this.

Now described as the world’s most advanced swing-role combat aircraft, the Typhoon has developed into a true multi-role platform and arguably one of the most effective combat aircraft in service today, equally adept at undertaking reconnaissance and precision strike missions as it is challenging the latest Russian aircraft incursion into British airspace.

Editing duties to one side, I'm now a full-time modelmaker with Doolittle Media, working to supply modelling articles and material for a number of their group titles, including MAI and Tamiya Model Magazine International. I'm also an avid fan of Assassin's creed, Coventry City FC and when the mood takes me, a drummer of only passing skill. Here though, you'll find what I do best: build models and occassionally, write about them!

    When it was originally announced, I decided I wouldn’t get one. It is entirely possible I have changed my mind.
