'Desert Storm 1991'
My model is of a
Eurofighter Typhoon FGR4 (Deadly Nightshade). It is finished in the colours of
Gulf War 'Desert Storm' 1991. The Squadron which the jet belongs to is number 17
of the Royal Air Force. Originally the Squadron used the Tornado GR3 for this deployment
to Muharraq Saudi Arabia, but with the 60th anniversary of Nato this year (2009)
I thought it would be appropriate to bring new to old. The kit used is the
Revel 1:48 scale single seater. The kit is excellent value for money and is put
together well. The decals were from Two Bobs model designs. http://twobobs.net/
The paint used was
from Revell, Enjoy viewing.
