Eurofighter Typhoon F.Mk 2, RAF No.17 Squadron, England, 2006, Corgi AA36401 1:72 Diecast Model

The Typhoon is an agile, single seat, multirole aircraft optimized for high altitude supersonic air combat but also capable of operating at much lower levels in the air-to-ground roles. It is built by a four-nation consortium comprised of companies from the UK, Germany, Italy, and Spain. The state-of-the art aircraft is set to be the RAF's major front-line type for many years to come, replacing the RAF's Tornado F3 fighters and Jaguar fighter-bombers in front-line service. One major advantage of the aircraft over current types is its ability to undertake 'swing role' missions. For these, Typhoon can be equipped to undertake both air-to-air and air-to-ground missions in a single sortie, switching between the two separate attack modes in Tornado GR4 for example. And with nine underwing weapon-mounting points, Typhoon can be equipped with 2 x Advanced Short-Range Air-to Air Missiles (AMRAAMs), 4x Advanced Medium-Range Air-to-Air Missiles_(AMRAAMs) whilst simultaneously carrying air-to-surface ordnance which could include Laser Guided Bombs (Paveway 2 and 3 or Enhanced Paveway), Brimstone anti-armour weapon, Storm Shadow cruise missiles and Air Launched Anti-Radiation Missiles (ALARMs), the aircraft packs a mighty punch. Ultimately, Meteor, a combination of rocket and air-breathing technology, will replace AMRAAM as Typhoon's primary long range air-to-air. In 2003 No 17 became the first RAF Squadron to receive the EurofighterTyphoon. Initially based a Warton its responsibilities include the evaluation of the new aircraft and its integration into full squadron service.
