1/144 Pit-Road "Pre-Coloured" Eurofighter(s)
As these appear early days protoype sprues, it is not clear how much assembly you will need to do.
It can be seen in the photos that as per the description that these are indeed prepainted.

Although the photos on Hobby Search show the same weapons sprues, the text would seem indicate that the waepons packs should be as per the original kits.

TSR-2 Strike (RAF) - What If schemes!
PitRoad continue to release some interesting options around the TSR-2.
This release is the "Strike" option, with two RAF schemes, one looks credible, the other is more 'imaginative' - maybe a Gulf War I option (with shark teeth and smart bombs) would be an interesting option for a future release?

As well as the additional decals, the kits comes with a "large belly drop tanks" and sets of "Martel Missiles"

1/144 Eurofighter 'Luftwaffe' - Pit Road

Pit-Road have dusted off last years Eurofighter kit and are issuing a new boxing with decals for
the Luftwaffe units JG73, JG74, JB31 also for the decals for an unnamed Eurofighter of the Austrian Air Defence Force(!).

It is not clear to one uneducated in such matters, if there are any physical differences between the German Eurofighter (SN10) airframes and the recent Pit-Road Kit (SN05)?

However, i think the main kit differences is the black plastic sprue shown in the photo containing the following weapons systemd:
- Taurus (KEPD 350) Cruise Misile (Wiki)
- AIM-2000 IRIS-T Missile (Wiki)

1/144 F-Toys Eurofighter - Photos by Mehusla

Mehusla has sent some interesting photos of the the recent Eurofighter Series.

Here for your perusal is the RSAF Eurofighter and the Italian Tornado (special colour)

I know a few people have had their doubts over this line up, but people are warming to them.
The fittings and tolerance of the casting is tight, so there should be few loose or wobbly bits!

The wing fittings on the Tornado are such that they allow free movment of the 'swing wing' or 'variable geometry' there is also sufficient gap to ensure that the act of moving the wings does not scrape the paint, as has been encountered on some previous Cafe Reo/F-Toys series.

If you like the pictures from Mehusla more can be seen at the "Battle Anthems Gallery" > Here<> Here < at "144 Direct"
