Airfix Starter Set – Eurofighter Typhoon FGR.4 A55016 (1/72) A55016

Forming the backbone of the modern Royal Air Force, the Typhoon has been continually upgraded throughout its service life and is a far more capable aircraft today than the one which first arrived at RAF Coningsby back in 2006. Now a familiar sight in Britain’s skies, the Eurofighter Typhoon is the RAF’s current airspace defender and, whilst it entered service back in 2006 as a dedicated air superiority fighter, this fourth-generation combat aircraft has proven itself to be much more than this.Now described as the world’s most advanced swing-role combat aircraft, the Typhoon has developed into a true multi-role platform and arguably one of the most effective combat aircraft in service today, equally adept at undertaking reconnaissance and precision strike missions as it is challenging the latest Russian aircraft incursion into British airspace.
