- Built with Revell's Eurofighter Typhoon "Bronze Tiger" kit. Xtradecal was used to supply the alternative decal scheme of Squadron 29 'BX' from the RAF Typhoon Display Team 2014.
Overall a terrible kit to build. Gaps, fit issues and miss-alignment of parts occurred in almost every stage of the build making the end result slightly less appealing than anticipated.
as always enjoy the video and leave your comments as I will read them all and get back with any questions left there.
Thank you
The Inner Nerd

fantastic work as usual. loved the clip at the start .......nothing climbs like a typhoon. ....just Awsome
Robert voss #bringthenoise 😮🔊
I cant explain why but I just think the single seat variant of the Typhoon is the most beautiful aircraft in any military around the world
EY. That might be because the two seater Typhoon cockpit canopy and upper fuselage spine looks so ugly in my view.
Absolutely amazing. You are one fantastic modeller. Bloody excellent.
unbelieveble! your works are always interessing.
thank you
A lot of work and fabulous results. Great video. I'm impressed!
Love the wear and tear on the apu
Thank you and thanks for watching :)
Another great build. I'm impressed by the subtle panel line shading I think you've got it just right.Keep up the excellent work.
The Typhoon to me is by far my favourite jet and is just a beautiful aircraft in general
One of the things i love most in your builds is plastic assembly without any putty. Even on revell kit, which is so-so with parts glueing up without seams.
Great work there!
what about that big gap between fuselage and wings?^^
Oh...there are visible seams...
Wow brilliant job on the Tiffy
It gives me inspiration to get my model out and start building
Great video and some nice painting skill.A good video to learn from,deserves lots of views.
Another great build. Towards the end of the video I noticed some dark irregular lines on the bottom of the canards. Looked kind of different. Great background music.
Thanks.
BennyCFD Yes they are varnish cracks, couldn't get rid of them at all annoyingly 😠 at least they are on the underside
That looks awesome!
I just ordered one, and an Xtradecal set for it. Making mine as ZK353.
Beautiful job!
Old but gold. Great work.
Thank you and thanks for watching :)
A superb job! I gave up on mine, a challenge is great but the molding on my kit was shocking.
You really teach me a lot, thanks
Great work as usual !!
Fantastic build !!
Good build, generally a good kit but the airbrake fit was also bad on the two I've assembled. The intake area is a bit tricky and requires filling but this kit in 1/48 is good value. Cockpit seam tip for novices. After scraping the canopy seam away use a polish specifically for the job or toothpaste or tooth powder then dip in clear floor polish to get rid of any scratches left. I used to use brasso to polish clear parts but one day it damaged the plastic canopy on an Italeri kit. It took ages to get a replacement.
Thank you and thanks for watching :)
awsome build i have this kit just dont dare do it yet , your vid has upped by excitement level
Awesome work! Like your videos a lot)
Nice work! I like how you kept the weathering to a minimum.
Awesome choice of music!
the model making is highly inspiring too....new subscriber!
Thank you and thanks for watching. Welcome and hope you'll stay :)
Great work on the kit! Revell and Italeri are getting worse and worse with the moulding. (only if they repack, then the model is ok). Got Italeri Stuka - terrible fit, Gripen - problem with fit because of doing both variants from one mould.
Keep up good work!
amazing build
wow! awsome build!
Excelente trabajo a mi también me encanta el aeromodelismo 👍👍🇨🇱😎
Thank you and thanks for watching :)
You're an artist ! Congrats !
Thank you and thanks for watching :)
Xf-19 looks like an excellent choice.
It seems to be a good colour for the RAF camouflage grey, although AK Real Colours have the best match in my experience, although they weren't released when I made this model. Thanks for watching :)
Amazing work!
Thank you and thanks for watching :)
Excelente vídeo saludos desde Chile a mi también me encanta los aviones gran trabajo 👍👍😮
Thank you and thanks for watching :)
nice work
great job!
That looks amazing
Great job on this. I have three (yes 3) of these in the two seat version. And one in 1/32 also which I believe is the same kit just scaled up to build. I bought them all before I heard what a horrid kit it is. But you managed to work it fairly well, a testament to your skills. I may actually break of them out and have a go....
great build.
good build, love the finish, you forgot to mention what you did at my points in this build SBS which was pretty saddening. you didn't mention what you did before the base color, and what you did before you applied the canopy, etc.
Really enjoyed the typhoon build. Did I notice some cracking of paint on the front fins underneath though? If so what was the cause?
Awesome build!
Wow! I like :)
Love the work and care you've put into this.
When you use "heavily thinned" paints such as XF-1, is it a 1:1 ratio or 1:2 (paint:thinners)?
Thank you.
Yeah it's around 50-70% thinned so it only shades the previous layer. Not so much that it pools up or becomes watery but also so the coverage is subtle
@@TheInnerNerd Superb. Thank you very much 😁
Just saw your video well done
Super job!🙄
I have just started my modeling corea I will take inspiration from you
You did a super job.
I hate Revell with a passion and I didn't complete my Typhoon. Rather than toss in the bin I ceremonially smashed the kit to pieces in the garden with a four pound hammer 🔨 until I was breathless from anger and rage and then assured the kits destruction by burning the remains.
ZD433 This was a very annoying kit too. Flash and ejection marks all over it. Poor fit too. Ive come close to your reaction a few times but somehow controlled myself and persevered through! 😩
Built this model twice now. The big weak spot is the air brake on the fuselage spine, in particular if you want to build it in a closed state. I sanded for more than 90 minutes. Paint and weathering on your typhoon is great, but I think the gaps between fuselage and main wing could have used a bit of putty?
Thank you. Yes this was a tricky kit to build and I think with some putty it would have come out better. This was the time when I hadn't really discovered putty or how to use it correctly. Thanks for watching :)
Nice job! I think the left wing tip ECM antena is mounted backwards or upside down...
the entire wing tip pod is upside down... the bit sticking up is intake scoop for the coolers... and should be on the bottom... facing forwards
So nice
BEST ONE... WOWWWWWW!!!!!
Thanks for another superb build. I notice that you are able to use minimal masking but still avoid overspray with metallics. Any tips on how you manage this? I have been using Vallejo metal colors, but need to mask the entire plane before spraying because it seems to get everywhere. (PS Masking is my least favorite part of the hobby)
Chris Highley Thankyou. I spray away from the model so that any over spray us directed away from the model. Be mindful of the direction of your airbrush as some parts, although not visible from your point of view, maybe in the firing line still. Also when working up to the masking spray at a closer distance to get a smaller spray pattern
thanks, that's helpful
Pretty sure around 15.10 I could see cracking on the paint of the front underneath fins. Otherwise yet another great build
Chris Sheppard Yeah thats right 😠 I've explained further down the comments
A super build lernd again
Beautiful work,, I have one but I lost the clear parts
Hi, great video :) Quick questions for you (from a newbie) which brand is your flat brush? What is white spirit? Thanks and keep up the awesome work you do :)
Thank you! The flat brush is just from my local art shop, it's a soft synthetic bristle type and White Spirit is a thinner for oil based paints. Turpentine can also be used for the same thing.
Great video as per usual! Do you recommend this kit? I’ve been advised to stay away from Revell in general.
Thank you. The kit is okay but I wouldn't go any further than that. The intake underneath is by far the tricky bit. In /48 scale we don't have many other options other than this Revell. Hope this helps and thanks for watching:)
@@TheInnerNerd Yeah maybe some other companies will turn their hand to making a nice kit in 1/48th scale
Excellent channel and very helpful! I see you used Humbrol Clear with your airbrush. Did you dilute it or spray it directly from the bottle? What psi do you use when spraying it? Many thanks.
Paul Knipe Thank you! The Humbrol Clear is pre-thinned from the bottle so no further thinning needed. 22 psi working pressure. 0.15mm needle
The Inner Nerd Many thanks. Keep up the great work!
Epic build
Hey! Thoroughly stunned by this build! Fantastic job with such a pig of a kit. I'm a scale modeller myself as you've probably noticed from your comments, I'm nowhere near as good as you though.
I wanted to ask you, as I have recently flown solo for the first ever time in a Piper PA-28 and have subsequently bought one in kit form, however I don't feel I could do it justice. The aircraft has such a significant meaning to me as it is the first step on the aviation ladder. I was wondering, if I provided you with the kit free of charge how much would you want to build it for me? As I would love an aircraft made to your skill level, especially one this important to me.
SmokingSpitfire I'd love to yes! Thats a great reason to get a model too!! Nice story ☺
SmokingSpitfire Thanks, got it! I'll delete
The Inner Nerd Let me know when an email is sent :)
SmokingSpitfire I've sent another email through now to the right address this time 😅
I have this model its awesome but Revell models tend to have some fitting issues like some parts in this one.
Xander Guldie Yes this one was terrible for fit issues. Nothing fit correctly throughout the build, it got tiresome towards the end
The Inner Nerd yeah it's a major bummer, it makes it a bit less fun to make such an awesome model
Exactly like I found!! I had the added hassle of having just finished a KittyHawk kit where nothing fit and the instruction were poor. So my state of mind was bad!!! However, nice finish, well done.
Am I able to use enamel based varnish on acrylic painted models? I dont know which varnish to use on acrylic paint, but i want to use humbrol products. I bought some enamel based varnish but i only paint with acrylics. So now I wonder if i can use the varnish that i bought.
I really enjoyed looking at this vid, awesome work man!!!👌
simmmec Thank you! Yes you can use enamel clear over your acrylic colour layer. Unless you use an enamel wash, in which case the thinners needed to remove the wash will also remove your enamel clear layer. If you don't use enamel/oil based washes then enamel clear coat is fine. Hope this helps 🖒
So if I want to make for exampel , panel lines on a plane and I use enamel wash. Then I should use humbrol clear gloss varnish and then clean of the rest of the enamel wash with enamel thinner and finish of with humbrol clear matt varnish to get a matt finish on the model , am I right? Is this the best way to make panel lines on acrylic painted models?
Thanks for the help!!!🖒
simmmec Thats right. I use for example;
1. Water Based Varnish - Humbrol Gloss Acrylic
2. Oil Baswd Washes - Abteilung 502
3. Acrylic varnish - Humbrol Matte
It doesnt matter too much about the base of the final coat as this is just to achieve the final surface finish and no other paints etc will be used other it
Ok, thank you very much!!!😀
Just discovered your brilliant channel going to build the typhoon exactly like yours just one question if I may I've never seen the car polish technic do you polish the whole model ? Or just the centre palels thanks
Thank you and welcome! I'm pleased you're enjoyed the videos so far!
I use the flat and polishing technique to remove the orange peel texture on the surface created by the clear coat layers. I rub down the entire model with 2000, 3000 and then polish to return to high-gloss.
However, having not used the polishing stage on my latest build - Airfix's 1/48 Spitfire Mk14 FR - only completing a flat sand with 2000 & 3000 grit sponges, the surface is glossy enough to accept an oil wash and still use capilary action to run down the panel lines. This will save you time and effort getting it super glossy just to add a matte coat in the end anyway.
Hope this helps and good luck! If you've got any more questions just drop me a message
Amazing post. Where did you get the cockpit pictures from? Thanks for posting.
Thank you. The pictures are from a Google search - something like Typhoon cockpit or something simila. Good references are available on Prime Portal and Net Maquettes too. Thanks for watching :)
@@TheInnerNerd Awesome, Thank you.
do you mix Humbrol Matt & Clear varnishes?
Just a quick question, how hard would it be to make this up and not glue or fix the fins or gears? Like when you see this die cast models that can be put in flight or on ground?
If you mean fully closed and not attach the landing gear at all then I guess it would be just a case of making the doors fit the underside flush. They don't straight from the box so there would be some dry fitting to get them level but it could be done.
If you want them posable that would be a big job. There's not enough space inside a lot of kits' bays so the gear cannot be fully retracted into the well. Also the legs are very weak on this kit and won't stand up to the positioning for long. Might be better off choosing an in-flight or gorunded mode and sticking with that for this one.
Excellent model. I’m new to model building.Can you tell me what’s the black undercoat you applied to the Eurofighter before you sprayed with the sky grey? Also the clear Matt varnish and clear gloss varnish are these mixed together when spraying the final coat?
Thank you And welcome to model building! 👋 I use a black primer to show any flaws in the surface that have been caused by sanding or part seams. It also acts as a bass layer for the black basing technique I use. This is shown in more detail on these 2 videos
th-cam.com/video/AHDcdyLSqqU/w-d-xo.html
th-cam.com/video/7u7_eV6uoeY/w-d-xo.html
As for the final coat, yes I do mix to create a satin coat rather than full gloss or matte. But I find Mr Hobby H102 Semi Gloss clear to be a much more consistent clear coat for this finish..
Hope this helps and if you have any more questions just let me know!
The Inner Nerd Thanks for the advice. Can I just ask the abteilung black oil when doing the panel lines was this mixed with thinners when applied to the model? The humbrol gloss you applied to the model as well after the sky grey ,was this thinned down to be able to go through the air brush. Thanks
WOW, ARE THERE ALOT OF PARTS LEFT OUT!
At 2.18 you used the black oil! What was it diluted with and did you varnish before using it? Thanks.
Yes it was. If I use oil washes I will have sealed with a varnish first
Отлично!!!
Serious question here.... how tf do you drybrush with tamiya paints??
Is it a matter of thinning it down extra or something? I mean, ive been drybrushing for years with citadel paints.... i just cannot seem to get tamiya to work with this technique
It takes a lot of paper towel to dry the brush. Thinning them down will only make the paints more difficult in tis case, you need the paints thick and therefore more 'dry'. A stiff brush which short hair I find to be best, although vs, Citadel paints will always be a challenge.
That paint pot on the right at 0:43 says XF67 but in the left corner it says XF49! So which is it? Thanks.
Go by the pot. It’s probably a typo on my part. Thank for pointing it out
I have a question pertaining to the light gray paint on the wings; did you let that paint dry before brushing it or did you brush it right after applying it? Also, was it applied on a gloss surface or a flat surface?
I'm not sure exactly when you mean in the video. If you quote the time I will be able to tell you for sure but I think you mean the wash after the colour coat? If so I let this dry, coat with gloss varnish until I build up 3 layers (or high gloss finish, whichever comes first). Then brush on the wash and allow to become touch-dry. Then remove with a dry or slightly dampened paper towel until the wash is removed suitably to match yoir reference images
12:40 is the time index
@@irishcaliman28 Ahh okay. It's on a matte/semi gloss coat as the oil will stick slightly rather than just rub off. I move immediately using a soft & dry brush to make the oils streak. If they become too thick stuck to the surface I use a small amount of white spirit to thin
Thank you for the tip 😊
👍
Hi i recently purchased this model and I don't really have much experience with this stuff I mainly do warhammer 40k but wanted to branch out would warhammer paints work or would you recommend a different set of paints?
Ahh okay. The Warhammer paints will work but I find them not really suitable for airbrushing - although I struggle with all pure acrylics when airbrushing. AK's 3rd Gen Acrylics really don't agree with me either. I would recommend AK Interactive Real Colours. They'll make a set suitable for this model in the RAF greys and they can be thinned with the Real Colour thinner to around 40% thinner. I have another video which might help with all of that here th-cam.com/video/W3zDmJwpPcY/w-d-xo.html The Citadel paints are good for small details though (unsurprisingly I suppose) so keep hold of them for scale model making too. I use the primary colours from Citadel to detail cockpits and wheel bays. Hope this helps and good luck :)
@@TheInnerNerd thank you i appreciate the advice and i look forward to watching your future model making videos
Hey i have an short question. I’m buiding a 1/48 EF Typhoon too , next step is the paintwork. I will paint it in Vallejo Air 71.306 Sky Blue would you take a White or a Black Primer ? Thx for help :-)
Hello. I always shoot over black primer. I like the control you get in seeing the opacity of the paint as well as being able to create shades if required. White will make the overall scheme look very bright. Depends on what finish you are after but I hope my views will help you decide
The Inner Nerd thank you :-) !
I will try it on a black primer , what sandpaper do you take before priming? 3000? or is grinding not necessary ?
@@eurocopter85 No problem ☺ I normally don't go over before priming but it can be good practice to make sure the surface has a good texture to bond to if you get adhesion problems often. 3000 is a good number to use
👏👏👏👏👏👍👍
Nice, what's the song name?
Beautiful. Where did you get the IRST infrared pod for the nose? Does it come with the Revell kit?
Thank you. The part is from the kit, Revell #03949. Thanks for watching :)
why is it on your other videos you shade the panel lines while in this one you didnt? also, why did you have to sand and saw some of the parts? I notice it wasn't flushed to the model, is it because of production flaw?
sorry if these questions are silly, I'm still a beginner at these
DaekTwentri The weathering on the Typhoon is only subtle, not like a WWII subject. To reduce the dirt on the panel lines created by post shading I decided to miss this stage out, leaving only the wash to create dirt.
As for sawing parts and heavy sanding, almost all of the parts had fit issues so I had to saw/sand a lot of material to get things to fit suitably
En el Amazon es el Modelo tigre??
Yes that's right. Revell kit number #03949
Okay so what is the huge cockpit from what scale?
It's a 1/48 scale it says in the title
No s... Sherlock
I didnt realize at 1:38 was a picture, I just skipped through the video hurriedly, while on break at work but thank you anyway for your smart ass reply!
@@timsgta Your comment wasnt exactly clear on what you were viewing and you'd be suprised at how many people don't look at the title so I answered your question as best I could
Sorry I apologize I'm in a bad mood crappy day at work, I understand what you're saying and I appreciate your response
Are you using 3M 2460 as a masking tape?
Forthwith Tx Its tamiya masking tape. I use 6mm and 20mm
A spoken commentary would have been a help, pointing out any problem area or suggesting a better way of doing things. I don't like the music either.
I've been including V/O in my videos for four years now but this build was before that. Luckily, since there is no voice over, you can mute the music ;) Thanks for watching :)
how to use cristal klear?
Mert Eroğlu Like in the video, apply as a clear lense, allow to dry and a gloss lense will cover the instruments below. Build up in layers to create a larger or thicker area of coverage
What's the name of the first music?
Rafa Pereira Land of Shadows - Kelly Amdrews Remix
I think that's not the music. It starts at 0:44
Rafa Pereira aposto que você tá perguntando porque é a mesma do Canal Hoje na segunda guerra mundial hehehe
Também queria saber
Abraços
You need a boot print applicator. Especially for the Navy jets.

this thing for sale?
Unfortunately not. I do make commission builds but only on Military Vehicles and cars & motorbikes. Aircraft are far too fragile to be shipped.
If you are interested in any of these drop me an email the.inner.nerdyt@gmail and we can discuss :)
Eurofighter sone similarlty to F18 hornet
terrible quality from Revell as usual. Needs lots of plaster/sanding work.
Hi sir do you sell any of your assemble?
Hi. Yes I do, it depends on which one you want as I want to keep certain ones. If you send an email to my gmail address (link on about page) we can discuss ☺
Good work! But why music is so dramatic?
Doesnt the RAF version have the extra pylons?
Two_Heads_Talking no, where?
@@Some_Random_Asshole they are in the box
On this display version the pylons on the model are accurate. There are more pylons in the box but are not needed for this aircraft

your music is too intense thumbs down
mike daytona Surely not worth a thumbs down just for that. Try turning the volume lower it will probably help...
your music sucks but your talent at modeling is awesome
mike daytona With over 24,000 views I guess the music won't be everyones choice. Good job the video is about what I'm good at!
Mute the video and play your own, moron.
I came here to watch craftsmanship, not to listen music... just mute it and enjoy ;)
