    1/32 Typhoon 'GINA'

    in Ready for Inspection

    Posted

    Eurofighter Typhoon FGR.4, ZK349 GN-A, Flt. Lt. Ben Westoby-Brooks, RAF No.29(R) Squadron, Battle of Britain 75th Anniversary commemorative scheme, Typhoon Display Team, RAF Coningsby, Lincolnshire, Summer 2015.

    The markings were a representation of the scheme worn by Hawker Hurricane Mk.I P3576 of No.249 Squadron, the mount of Flight Lieutenant James Brindley Nicolson on 16th August 1940, the day on which he would be awarded Fighter Command’s only Victoria Cross of the Second World War. Wearing the same GN-A fuselage codes as Nicholson’s Hurricane and displaying his personal Red Devil™ emblem under the cockpit canopy, this Typhoon immediately became something of an Airshow phenomenon and was simply referred to as GINA™ by Britain’s army of besotted enthusiasts.

    Built from the Revell 1/32 Kit, shes a very large model, aftermarket decals (xtradecal), pilot and home made stand she has taken flight

    You've got a post-Vietnam variant, the TRAM mod A-6E which entered service in Dec 1978 and made its first cruise around Sept 1979 — around the time the light gull grey over white scheme with splashes of colour was just starting to give way to more subdued shades of mushroom. So, your colour schemes should be from the 1979-1997 timeframe.

     

    There are other considerations narrowing that down in terms of units because TRAM didn't happen overnight and Boeing started making a new wing by the 1990s, but pretty much any A-6E between 1982 and Gulf War One are build options.

     

    And lucky you for getting one cheap. It's a delightful kit. The only nit-pick is that the fincap is angled up from front to rear, not perfectly level as in the kit.
