Oooh now I've got the 2 seater with the APU and pretty sure the intake cover, wheels bays look nice but mines also in the troposphere waiting to be started.

I used the Aires wheel wells, cockpit and exhaust when I built my EF, the fit was absolutely perfect. 

 

Here's the exhaust:

I scratch built a full-length intake, looks like this:

Unfortunately, the kit is very coarse in general and despite me throwing a huge amount of work into it, it now resides at the bottom of my display cabinet (along with my old Revell Mirage III). The panel lines are fat and the overall appearance of the model, despite having good shape accuracy, is just not there. I think a complete panel line fill/sand down/scribe is required for this project, which unfortunately I don't have the patience for.

 

Cheers,

That is a beautiful model, really a game changer, somehow you made one of e blandest most uninspiring colour schemes in all aviation interesting - not to mention the superb build -

 

I wouldn't let anyone within 20 feet of my Eurofighter build! -

 

That is really a superb build! :clap2:
