Whiff-y Tiffy
nozzles are from an old Monogram A Hornet, was surprised they fit perfectly! Much better than the nozzles in the kit
Fake canopy is what wins the dogfight! 🙂
original Seat was a disaster...took another italeri seat and a bomb rack bracket and butchered this Frankenstein...also behold the dry fit in the background...puuh
assembled! Fit was awful as expected, but I had enough putty
PE is actually quite nice, got this on sale as well, because nobody buys PE thats more expensive than the kit^^
I must be mad...but after a while a zen-like calm numbness sets in, a state every modeller tries to achieve 😉
Camo is derived from the original Kuwaiti hornets
Thanks for watching!

DanielA quick&dirty ten day build. Quite relaxing to just do some devil may care what-if in between without the pressure of doing justice to a 100€ kit 🙂
But now I will get back to the serious navy stuff😉

Maciej BellosWonderful idea Daniel and well executed. 10 days is awesome!
Can't wait to see the Kuwaiti Typhoons, hopefully they come with a nice camouflage and somebody releasing an aftermarket decal set accordingly.

Slavo HazuchaI did not even know a "Minecraft Typhoon" even existed - cool thing! The result also looks fairly acceptable for a quick build 👍😉😉

Nathan DempseyNice work Daniel! Hopefully some ground crew will see your build and apply this camo to the real aircraft.

DanielMany thanks friends, much appreciated!
@Maciej: Absolutely, really hope they choose something nicer than just plain grey as well!
@Slavo: Nope, this is the one and only! (afaik) Yeah, well, could've been worse right?😉
@Nathan: I was actually hoping for some kuwaiti officials sending me an appealing trade offer for the model to use it as their design template (only reason I built this) So far nothing. But I guess you had the same disappointment with the draken guys 😄 😉😉

Slavo HazuchaI suspected the digital camo is too good to be true... Looks much better than the title pic! 👍

Danielthank you very much Slavo, Patrick, Neuling and Pero! I am very happy you like the result of my little camo experiment! 🙂

Jeramy BoileauAwesome Work! Nicely played with the f-18 exhaust, I wonder now if a after market resin for a f-18 would also work?

DanielThank you Jeramy! I would give no guarantee for standard brand resin, as those are from the old monogram kit which is still sold by revell...dunno if there are resin exhausts designed for this
Thank you Tobi! I usually like my jets a bit used but did keep it clean here as the Kuwaitis seem to keep their planes pretty tidy and it should also depict a brand new delivery

DanielThank you very much augie, always fun to build one if the mojo runs out for the serious stuff 🙂

Paul MooreNice looking model. I don't see ANY reviews for this kit. Do you know how it compares to the Revell option? Thanks.

DanielHi Paul, thanks a lot! This kit is very very rudimentary, probably nobody takes it serious enough to write a review🤔 I'd say the Revell kit is superior in every aspect, but not easy to build as well. (from what I have heard - mine is still waiting in the stash)

Album info
Kuwait got their new air-superiority fighter! Inspired by the preview pics by EADS I was just messing around with a 10€ crap kit and the idea to take their hornet camo into the digital age 🙂
