1/144 Pit-Road & Revell Typhoon EF-2000

Gallery Article by Paolo Yuen on Aug 24 2011

 

The Pit-Road released is China’s Trumpeter made. Model comes with full weapons and you can open the air-brake, it has a detailed cockpit and ejection seat but the canopy cannot open and is not clear enough. The fuselage has very good detailed and the wings are thin enough. With the decals you can choose British or German air force, weapons detailed but without aircraft stencil. But the model price is very expensive.

Revell Germany also made very good detailed in fuselage I think it was better than Pit-road one.  Weapons only give us the missiles no GBU or more booms. I like the wings it was thinner than Pit-road. Weak of the cockpit and seats and can’t open air-brake but nozzle have very good detail. Decal same as other one can choose 2 air force graphic not good than Japan made but Revell have full stencil, but some of them are big scale can’t used! Canopy divided in 2 pieces can make open or closed and very clear, fitting also good.

Both of them are very well detailed 1/144 EF-2000, after making I still can’t say which one is best, Pit-road price expensive, can buy 4-6 Revell’s 1/144 EF-2000. Revell didn’t give full weapons it can find out from DML’s Tornado or other Kits now Pit-Road released the weapons, we can get the Revell one and Pit-Road weapons to make a fully load Typhoon and save more money!
