Thanks guys for your feedback. Would be cool if anybody from MotionRC could comment as well.
I suppose it does not matter whether I am looking for the plane or for parts - this goes hand in hand. Aliexpress offers a nose cone for 10 USD (what a rip off) but no fuselage.
Hobbyking does not offer anything and RC Castle is offering a lot of spare parts but the fuselage/nose cone. This is really really frustrating. Sooner or later I will have to get a new fuselage - all other parts are in good shape --> only because I cannot get that sparepart for 90 USD, I have to throw away the rest of the plane worth almost 400 USD??
Strange.

wow, this looks fantastic. May I ask (as I have never done a paintjob to an EDF flyer before) how you colored it? Did you use a primer first, then a color and then a final transparent color? Can you recommend colors? Did you make use of an airbrush pistol?
BR and thanks for any answer,
Harald

Yes I primed it with rust oleum primer. Then painted with acrylic paint thinned for airbrush gun. You can pick up an airbrush set up on Amazon cheap. You can also buy any color you like on Amazon as well. Just do a search for airbrush paint.

I have 2 Eurofighters - one I have already upgraded with the Freewing 90mm inrunner unit which has good performance although it is heavy (and expensive).
I wish to upgrade the other but would prefer a lighter unit and was thinking of the FW 9 blade 1750kV unit that is in the PNP F-22. It will be 6S, like the original.
What do you think?

The one out of the F-22 (9-blade) has about 3700g of static thrust (pulls 106A) and weighs 130g less. The sounds will be similar but not quite the same. The decision is yours. I sold my Eurofighter last year so I don't have one anymore.
There is a large cost difference between the 12B inrunner and the 9B outrunner!
I have the 80mm 9B units in my Mirage and Avanti, and they both sound just fine.

jkallend. I installed the EDF unit from the 90mm F-4 which I believe is the same as the 90mm F-22, in the 90mm EF2000. To me the EF2000 seems to fly much better than with the stock unit it came with. For sure gained top end speed but lost a bit of low end thrust. I thing you will like it, I know I do.

Are you looking to sell one? I'd pay 500 or so for one in decent shape.
