    Mark M got a reaction from themongoose in 1/32 Typhoon 'GINA'   
    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

    The shape is off with the Trumpy kit, as Stefan says the worst part is the too fat fuselage from the rear part of the cockpit to a bit aft. Builds have sanded the rear cockpit frame and squeezing the rear fuselage. I seem to remember an issue with the rear windows, too. I second Stefan's suggestion to review builds on this site.
    Here are a couple:
    Here is Phantom's build:

    I did build the Trumpy -5(N) Night Fighter a few years ago.
     
    It´s a pretty good kit, goes together quite well as I remember.
     
    It needs some slimming behind the cockpit, tough and it took some work to get the wings spread.
     
    Please read some build threads here on the forum, there is several very nice builds.
     

     
     
     
     

     
    This kit is built mostly OOB, only a set of seat belts from Eduard, Barracudacast Wheels and gun barrels from Master, no filler at all.
     
    Cheers!

    There's really not that I've found so far. Most of it is generic stuff scattered across all the usual 3D printing repository sites on the web. You just have to hunt and peck, and grab anything useful when you come across it. The only guy that I'm aware of offering anything downloadable in our space is Tom Anyz:
     
    https://anyz.io/shop
     
    But Fanch Lubin has also made some of his work freely available to download, though I don't have the links to hand. Could even have been posted to Cults.

    Nothing really its a great kit. accuracy wise , the screen is a bit wide , it doesnt have the twist in the tail fin and the props are a bit narrow , but i built mine oob and it looked great. Less od a faff and cheaper than the ZM one.
