## Overview

The Airfix A55016 Starter Set features a highly detailed 1:72 scale model of the Eurofighter Typhoon FGR 4, the RAF's cutting-edge multi-role combat aircraft. Designed specifically for beginners, this kit includes acrylic paints, glue, and a brush, making it a complete, hassle-free introduction to scale modeling. With a skill level 1 rating and the trusted craftsmanship of Airfix, this set offers an authentic and rewarding build experience for aspiring modelers and aviation enthusiasts alike.

## Description

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.

Review: Can't fault Airfix for their great quality, they always have top notch quality control and had no problems with the plastic. The only issue was with the paint as it had been sat in the box a long time. It was easily fixable, just had to stir the paint for a minute and it was all good. Top quality product and would highly recommend for anyone getting into scale modelling.
Review: Alles gut!👍🏻
