Fly-n-hi Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Hi people. I've been a long time lurker of these forums but I wasn't able to get on with my old email address for some reason. I got another email and now I'm here. So I figured a good way to introduce myself would be to share this 1/48 Revell EF-2000 that I just finished. This was an ok kit. The fit was mostly good but the trouble spots were pretty time consuming. The dorsal "spine" and the air brake needed alot of work to make them seamless. Same with the intake and the intake mouth. They can be made seamless, of course, but it takes a bit of effort to do it. The kit is pretty much OOB. I cut out the APU exhaust and added a small styrene tube to give it some depth. I also cut out the leading edge slats and filled in the space with some styrene strips. And finally, I added scratch build seat belts made from metal foil tape. The main colors are Mr. Color paints. Thanks for looking! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fly-n-hi Posted June 10, 2011 Author Share Posted June 10, 2011 Thanks again guys. I fixed the canopy so that its in the correct position. The directions aren't clear about its final position and if you attach it the way the parts "lead" you to do it it looks funny...like its suspended in mid air. I just looked at some photos on the web. Here's the fix: Here's how it was: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Aggressor Supporter Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Out of all the Eurofighters, I like the RAF version the most with their slightly darker gray color. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
