REVELL GERMANY EUROFIGHTER TYPHOON W/FULL ENGINE KIT

HISTORY :

The Eurofighter is currently the outstanding high-performance multi-role combat aircraft of the latest generation. With a top speed of Mach 2.0+, the Eurofighter excels at both long and short range air combat and also has ground attack capability. Thanks to its low radar signature and the use of non-metallic materials, this aircraft is barely observable by the enemy.

The power of the weapons system rests on a well-balanced combination of characteristics such as extreme agility based on aerodynamic design together with high performance engines, armaments, sensors, automated data management and minimum signature. The extreme manoeuvrability of the Eurofighter is impressive. It is primarily a fighter designed to protect the air space and to that end is equipped with a mixture of armaments such as powerful short and medium range air-to-air missiles. For the extended air-to-surface role the Eurofighter has a high external stores capacity and functionally adapted weapons stations.

The Eurofighter combines not only innovative and advanced technologies, but is also an international programme of great political and economic significance. 707 aircraft have been ordered so far. The first Eurofighters officially went into service with the German air force on 30th April 2003 with 73 "Steinhoff" fighterwing at Rostock-Laage.

The second unit to receive the Eurofighter was 74 "Mölders" fighter wing in Neuburg, Bavaria. In future the Eurofighter will also play a major role as a fighter-bomber, for example in Great Britain, where at the moment for the dual role all the RAF Eurofighters are being converted to FGR 4.
