Dmanton300 Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Are the slime lights matched to the kit ones colour wise? Because the sheet has the tail and fuselage ones, but none for the wingtip pods? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted June 11, 2015 Author Share Posted June 11, 2015 Hi Drewe, I used the same color I used for the slime lights for most US-built aircraft, and the color seems to match the kit sheet very well. But now that you pointed it out, I see there is ample space on the sheet and I could squeeze it in somewhere. I will edit the artwork before it actually goes to press within days. The Typhoon sure has lots of stencilling - I had to pare it down to whatever is unique on ZK394 in this scheme. Stencilling underneath the airplane are mostly identical to the standard scheme, so you will need to source these from the kit sheet. I think this is fair - a full set of standard Typhoon stencilling would have turned this into a far bigger project than I had in mind. What is included on this sheet is either unique to ZK394 (the walkway marnings on the fuselage are in black and read "DO NOT STEP OUTSIDE THIS AREA" as opposed to being in gray and reading "DO NOT STEP AFT OF THIS LINE" on the standard scheme, etc.) or a large, visible stencil that has to be included for completeness. One thing I had to omit in the 1/72 sheet are the walkway warning stripes ("dotted lines") on the wing - these are barely visible in this scale in my opinion. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stephen Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 I'm looking forward to it. I bought another 1/48 Typhoon for this sheet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted June 12, 2015 Author Share Posted June 12, 2015 The 1/72 sheet will be CD72041. Both CD48090 and CD72041 are coming in a couple of weeks, with a 1/32 sheet to follow in the next batch or the one after that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted June 29, 2015 Author Share Posted June 29, 2015 (edited) I will receive the 1/48 and 1/72 BoB Typhoon sheets from Cartograf in a couple of days, and enable preorders before the weekend. I also finished a 1/32 version, which I plan to release in September in very limited numbers. Edited June 29, 2015 by KursadA Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted July 2, 2015 Author Share Posted July 2, 2015 The sheets are here, and everything looks pretty good at first check - I will enable preorders this weekend. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted July 5, 2015 Author Share Posted July 5, 2015 (edited) Enabled preorders for both 1/48 and 1/72 sheets - I will start shipping these on July 11. The rest of the new batch will probably ship a few days later, so you might want to wait a little bit if you would like to add any of those. This is another limited edition with only 300 sheets printed in each scale.

KursadA Posted August 3, 2015 Author Share Posted August 3, 2015 Just sent the 1/32 sheet to be printed - it will be CD32017, hopefully due sometime next month. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skyhawk174 Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Just sent the 1/32 sheet to be printed - it will be CD32017, hopefully due sometime next month. Hey should you not be on holidays as in no work? :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jabba29 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Got mine yesterday and very good they look too. One added bonus that I did not know is that one of the names on the nose U/C door is a former work colleague of mine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stalal Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Never thought I will build a Typhoon. But your great decal sheet has inspired me and now I have begun to look for the kit as Revell's had been out of stock and seems out of production too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted August 10, 2015 Author Share Posted August 10, 2015 (edited) I'm glad you liked the Typhoon sheets. Just a reminder that the reference site for CD72042 should actually point to that of CD48090 - I will fix this later today. The photos at the ref. site should be useful for anyone building a Typhoon in this scheme. http://caracalmodels.com/references/cd48090/ Edited August 10, 2015 by KursadA Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted August 12, 2015 Author Share Posted August 12, 2015 Can we please see a build now? Pretty please? Surely some of you must have started building? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

stalal Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 If you look at real aircraft here, there are very few stencils compared to what you see on regular RAF Typhoons. http://www.airliners.net/search/photo.search?cx=partner-pub-8297169501225184%3Aa05n2n-tzky&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=eurofighter+battle+of+britain&sa=Submit&search_active=1&search=&sheadline=&search_field=datedesc&submit=&siteurl=www.airliners.net%2F&ref=&ss=7285j2486557j29 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FlyAndFight Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Having some difficulty finding a 1/48 scaled Revell kit. The "single" seater is hard to find for a reasonable price... :( Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stalal Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Having some difficulty finding a 1/48 scaled Revell kit. The "single" seater is hard to find for a reasonable price... :(/> Yes! I was able to find it in a local listing of buy and sell website. But its not available anywhere. Check this listing on ebay http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Revell-1-48-Eurofighter-Typoon-model-kit/151791923100?_trksid=p2045573.c100033.m2042&_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20141121090453%26meid%3Db696c49494cb4e34a2319b68c542df3f%26pid%3D100033%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D4%26sd%3D121419270934 Check if HLJ can help you. They have it listed as 'Out of Stock'. http://hlj.com/product/REV04568/Air May be KursadA decals have spiked the demand for this jet. Also, there isn't much in after market for Revell Typhoon which is a surprise for me as its a modern jet and a popular subject, but apparently its not. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FlyAndFight Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Thanks for the info, stalal! It does appear that only the 2-seater can be found with relative ease but the single seater is a harder find. I'll keep checking the "For-Sale" threads and ebay and hope for a decent deal soon. Thanks again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted January 19, 2018 Author Share Posted January 19, 2018 Folks, has this sheet recently been featured in a magazine or Web site? I have suddenly started getting a spurt of orders for it. This usually happens after some positive coverage in a magazine or Web site build feature, and I am wondering if I missed a build feature somewhere. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think its due to recent re issue of Revell single seat Typhoon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
