Robin (WhiteGlint)Sweet! I really like all that streaking! 👍
Is that some kind of "Demonstration" aircraft? It also has Aeronautica Militare roundels.
Neil AutorHi WhiteGlint 🙂 thanks for commenting on my latest build 👍 I'm afraid it's me taking my usual artistic licence... Again! It's broadly correct, but not quite. Sorry! Naughty me! 😆
Robin (WhiteGlint)No need to apologize, Neil.
I was just curious. Besides, this is hobby and we can do whatever we want, which is one of the best and most fun part of this hobby.
Neil AutorHi James C! Thanks for commenting on my latest build, appreciated 👍
Andrew HortonAwesome! Even though I'm an American fighter jet guy, the Typhoon is wicked cool. It just looks tough. Great work my friend!
Cristian BordinaWhen I see something italian, I can only appreciate. Grat job guy !!!
Neil Autor@Flight Line Media 🙂 thanks very much indeed 👍 🙂 Yeah, you guys deffo have the coolest inventory. I'd agree for sure. But when we first started seeing flight demos at airshows of the Typhoon, Rafale and Gripen, all similar stuff timewise there wasn't much comparable imo, they just 'danced' - maybe those jets are uniquely European 😉
Neil AutorHi Arif, hope you're well mate 👍 thanks for the feedback, always welcome from you 😊 cheers!
Neil AutorThanks Ludwig, Gary, Jeff, Laurent "HELLER-forever, Alec k, Stefan, Daniel Clink, Ignacy, Martin and Rui Rodriguez 😊👍
DanielBeautiful result with a pretty crappy kit 🙂 The good thing about it is that it has not too many parts, so theres limited fit issues 😉
Neil AutorThanks Petr. And yes Daniel you're right 👍 I was building a Zhengdefu A10 simultaneously and that was indeed a pain by comparison to this kit all went together pretty tightly and then it's all about the paint which is my favourite part 😁
Neil AutorThanks Charlie, Alex and Arif 🙂 and thanks also for the likes mates 👍
Neil AutorHi Hugh 🙂 thanks very much indeed. That's very kind of you to make such a comment 👍

Album info
Hi there,
Thanks for stopping by to view my latest build #15 the EF2000 Typhoon.
I build straight 'out-of-the-box' endeavouring to show my build journey in as few photographs as possible - this is my reason for utilising montage imagery to help reduce the image count of an album.
Kit appraisal: As a vintage builder who doesn't use after-market parts, I cannot use something newer and better manufactured to make an old kit look more realistic. I guess you'd say I'm creating an artistic representation of the aircraft. This build was a straight forward experience. There are some minor troublesome areas to fit and I made a bit of a hash of the forward fuselage, but the end result came together OK.
I always enjoy an Italeri kit, they were my preferred (and affordable) 1/72 choice as a child - so a build takes me back to my youth.
This build was uploaded on the 3rd September 2021.
I hope that the you find my build journey informative. 🙂
