Hasegawa 01570 1/72 Eurofighter Typhoon Single Seater

In the 1970s, several European nations began to formulate requirements for their next generation of multirole fighters based upon ongoing cold war needs and NATO support obligations. As early development begain in each of these countries, all recognized the risk and expense of such a development was more than any one country would be able to afford. As with the three-country alliance that created PANAVIA's Tornado, a new alliance was formed between the British, Germans, and Italians to create Eurofighter GmbH and its new design, the EF-2000 Typhoon.

First flown in 1994, the Typhoon spend the next nine years working through development and test before entering service in 2003 with the RAF, Luftwaffe, Italian AF, and Spanish AF. The aircraft has also been exported to the Royal Saudi and Austrian Air Forces with other nations considering as well. The aircraft is a twin-engined delta-wing multi-role fighter with canards under the cockpit. The platform uses fly-by-wire technology to bring advanced high-angle-of-attack performance in aerial combat.
