Official Freewing 90mm Eurofighter Typhoon EDF Jet Thread

Looks like I will need to get myself an air brush kit 😁 because that looks brilliant.

yea I have seen this 3dp cockpit but i cant justify the £60+ to buy all the files just for that one file. Looks great and much better than stock one.

[Alphonso]

I'm sure the file I used was a tenner or so. If you go the airbrush route, get a compressor too. The air cans are awful, only get one or two presses before it freezes up and the pressure drops or you get spatters. External mix is OK for large areas, infact it's probably quicker but you'll wish you'd bought internal mix as soon as you wish to do fine or feathered work.

thats the link i came across for a more detailed cockpit. If there is another could you send the link?

yea plan is to get a air brush kit with the compressor. Would need to do mixing test ect first before proceeding to paint on the model.

Appears to be this one, but it's 2 or 3 kits to get everything Alphonso is showing

Search Tip - Often just 'Freewing' 'Flightline' 'FMS' yields the best results when searching Cults, Thingiverse etc

Yep that's the ones. You have to make the HUD screen and I made some hoses from 2.5mm copper wire. Screens inside were made by cutting small squares of clear plastic, painting landscape and plane shape in clear Tamiya paint then sticking chrome tape behind to simulate illumination. Same chrome tape for rear view mirrors.
Added weight was 75g, still managed 30mm aft CG without using the supplied weight. 10S SMC 4400mah HVLi . Removed airbrake and fit a 4S in the space, cover held down by magnet and razor blade embedded in foam.

many thanks for the links

I didn't use the pilot file above. The pilot is printed with the main cockpit file.

[Rudolf Martan]

Typhoon with 3d printed parts looks awesome!

[Airguardian]

Well, that was intense!

[TonyTaff]

Hello with the typhoon 8s airbrake seems it only open or shut. Is it possible to use a 3 pos switch to config half open???

[Evan D]

No, the mechanism is basically a retract unit repurposed as the airbrake mechanism.

[GliderGuy]

Well, that was intense!

NICE recovery from the flame out!

This pilot's quite something!

And then, here's me having some fun with the bigger Euro...

Has anyone fitted led’s for the green formation lights to their airframe?

I am developing a 3D printed set for this air-frame and a couple other models. If you would like to participate as a beta test pilot, send me a PM. Please have a high quality 3D printer capable of thin wall PETG filament and low voltage DC electronics skills. Scale appearance should exceed everything else I have seen if you are able to procure the required filament colors.

[Scots_rubz]

Sorry but I wont be able to help with this.
