Austrian Eurofighter Typhoon "Tiger"

 

 

Comparison of the Austrian (foreground) and German (background) Eurofighter. I had good results using FS36231 on my "Airpower19" Eurofigher in the past. 

Ever since I saw the Eurofighter in this stunning livery at the Airpower 2022, I knew I had to build it. The time has finally come. Even though I'm working with an old Revell kit that has its challenges, I'm excited to finally bring this project to life!

the Austrian Tiger finally coming to life! 

Last update before the reveal tomorrow. As you can see, the decals on the fuel tanks were a bit problematic. Luckily, everything else worked out well and I'm happy to add the Austrian Tiger to my finished kits of Austrian jets.
